This Osprey is so majestic…. 🥰
And in the bird world this is considered a sick move….

After a deep dive into the navy blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, he climbs back aboard and kisses me.
The taste of #brine on his lips makes me miss my home in the sea.
Same with my salty tears.

Thoughts of you creep up
on me, without warning, like
a #predator laying in the
weeds.
Crushing pain.
I feel your betrayal,
as if it were yesterday.
Still. After this long.

53 years ago today, I released my first solo album, Wind of Change. I had just stepped out on my own after Humble Pie, with no idea where it would lead. Looking back, it was the beginning of a journey I’m forever grateful for. Thanks for being a part of it.

I come home from work. Can't find my husband,
Frank, anywhere.
Then suddenly 2 eyes appear on the wall about 6 feet from the floor.
Then Frank steps into the living room covered with white paint, an exact match with the paint on our wall.
Then Frank explains,
"I was #incognito"

My 14 year old son comes home from getting his hair cut. His head is completely shaved except for the outer perimeter.
He beams at me and says,
"It's called the #fringe, mom.

"Grow up! You act like a #petulant child" Markus hisses at me and then sticks out his tongue.

When I was a kid there was this huge #reservoir down the end of our road. My PaPa told me a 20ft sea monster lived in there.
I grabbed my fishing pole and baited the line with a family size bag of BBQ chips.
Reeled him in on first cast.
Catch and release.
Of course.

Little Jimmy comes storming through the door, breathlessly says, "I'm thinking what we need is an #onslaught of light to shine on all this darkness"
The heart melts when I notice he's wearing a sparkling purple wizard hat.

Little Jimmy turns on heels and Says, "Light is the way"

#Disarm! Alfredo says as he points his hand at me and grabs the groceries from my arms. He scared me at first because I thought he meant my prosthetic.

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.

Since we’re talking about how much billionaires suck again, here’s a reminder that your local indie bookstore deserves your business this holiday season. They have gift cards and are happy to mail stuff out. Same goes for @bookshop-org.bsky.social. Buy books. Give books. Support bookstores.

Are we on the #threshold of hell?
Will we sink or swim.
The fear of the unknown is thick in the air, but be calm.

The BIG AWAKENING is coming.....and it is going to be glorious.

At the zoo looking at the cute turtles.
When I spot this weird looking creature.
Sign says
Name: Sam
A #Axolotl
Has ability to regrow severed limbs

I put my face right up close to the glass.
Sam zooms over & reads my mind.
Then flips me the bird with a humongous middle finger.

There was something about her. A goodness. She #propagated hope and kindness like it was free.

One day the #latent rage that builds up from being taken advantage of, just because they mistake kindness for weakness. Broke loose.

I blew up and I told my dog that I am not taking him for another walk today.

"Earthworm's a annelida not a #planaria," Gramps explains as he chops the chubby worm in two.
"Use the tail first because it'll die, but the other half will live, grow back a tail," he adds as he baits his hook.

Catches me looking at the fingers he lost in war.
Casts his line.
