Our concerns are individual and collective. So must our actions be individual and collective.

"Hello", simply the best thing anyone has ever said.
Maybe. It's certainly a prime contender for the title.
Hello can be more than a greeting. It says, "I see you. I acknowledge you." It is an open invitation.
Saying hello can take courage. But it can be rewarding.
This Xmas, be brave, say hello.

Baby bird update.
The eggs have hatched, and two little chicks are thriving.
Safe in their little tree.

I couldn't think of a better way to start my BlueSky account than by making my very first post the sharing of the wonderful discovery of these little eggs. The happy parents are nesting in a tree in my Mother-in-law's garden.
For me, this is a sign of hope and the promise of new life.
