Keeping this joy--the handful of goldfinches who sing like tiny violins of longing during hard days. My heart breaks for everyone in L.A. especially those we love who had to evacuate. Some lost their homes. Sending hope and love in the midst of chaos. Donating to orgs helping people and animals.

Great Horned Owl at dusk, Tucson. Every morning the owls gurgle, moan, mumble and hoo hoo hoohoo in the eucalyptus trees just outside the window while I write in my journal. They sing my world alive.

Good morning, friends. She woke me and held my hands to her white flame as she lowered behind Sombrero Peak in the Tucson Mountains. What song did she sing? The song her cousin the beluga swimming under ice in the Bering Sea.

Moon eating its own shadow tonight in a bruised purple sky over Tucson. Even the coyotes are quiet.
