I love growing #native #wildflowers because of all the visitors I get to see. These photos were all taken within 3 minutes of each other!
Four photos of wildflowers. Bees and dragonflies are sitting on the flowers.

This poem gave me goosebumps the first time I read it. #nationalpoetrymonth #poetry
Poem by Adrienne Rich in black and white text. Text reads: What kind of times are these There's a place between two stands of trees where the grass grows uphill and the old revolutionary road breaks off into shadows near a meeting-house abandoned by the persecuted who disappeared into those shadows. I've walked there picking mushrooms at the edge of dread, but don't be fooled this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here, our country moving closer to its own truth and dread, its own ways of making people disappear. I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods meeting the unmarked strip of light— ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise: I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear. And I won't tell you where it is, so why do I tell you anything? Because you still listen, because in times like these to have you listen at all, it's necessary to talk about trees.

Though I'm not Catholic, I always found Pope Francis' humility and grace inspiring. May his reasonable approach to grace and agape love continue well beyond his passing. #popefrancis #lovethyneighbornoexceptions

Happy Easter #lovethyneighbornoexceptions
Screen shot of social media posting on pink background. Text reads: Jesus broke religious and cultural protocol to be love. Take the courageous steps he took with the woman at the well. When history, tradition, upbringing and prejudice whisper, "don't love them," love them anyway. Love doesn't stand for injustice.

Me one year ago vs. me today. Finished my first 5k! Achieved full remission from RA&UC for the first time in 13 yrs with a JAK inhibitor. Wonder what else my body can do now that's it's healthy.

I'd prefer if everyone would include and respect my friends, but if that's too difficult to manage at least leave them be. #transrightsarehumanrights #lovethyneighbornoexception #lgbtqia

I'm not #catholic, but this letter from #popefrancis to bishops in the #unitedstates resonated deeply with me.

We must recognize the dignity of every human being without exception.

This line from "Thin Skin" by Jenn Shapland shook me. I can't help but wonder how much this phenomenon is driving what's happening in my country.

Looking forward to #quaker meeting for worship this morning. Thankful for my tiny, unprogrammed meeting for the time & space to mind the Light, especially when things are so frightening and confusing.

Finished this book a few days ago and it was really profound. Shapland explores US history, environmental justice, queerness, and chronic illness from and autobiographical and conversational perspective. It's beefy but worth it. #booksky #queerauthors #environmentaljustice

Lots of love to New England Yearly Meeting - I found this quote very impactful.

Bayard Rustin was one of #mlk 's advisors and was the principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom. He was a #quaker and #queer.

2/3/1964 - about 461,361 students and teachers in the NY city public school system boycotted school to protest de facto (non-legislated but still present) segregation and poor conditions in the schools. De facto segregation persists in NYC schools today. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory365
