My feline companion, GraciE, sits with me, purring, while I read aloud to her about Kashiwagi's cat in The Tale of Genji.

Wallace M. Ruff, Jr. Park in Springfield #Oregon is the largest #magnolia grove west of the Mississippi. Last year a severe ice storm nearly destroyed the #trees, but those that survived and bloom in early #Spring are in full display.

World of wonder! The Smithsonian Museum has one of the largest collections of nests and eggs in the world. Check out Jenny McKee's recent ABA book review of the Smithsonian Handbook of Interesting Bird Nests and Eggs, by Douglas G. D. Russell: www.aba.org/bird-nests-a...

Great White Herons #FrankWestonBenson

A Thousand Mornings #MaryOliver

This morning
the beautiful white #heron
was floating along above the water

and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to

where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else....

A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms.

This is it.

This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up.

Law firms refuse to represent Trump opponents in the wake of his attacks
The result is an extraordinary threat to constitutional rights of due process and representation and a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.

I highly recommend "Extraordinary Wing Women," a tribute to the importance of female camaraderie. This collection features thirty-three stories, each varying in length. Hardback or audiobook. Our bookclub really enjoyed it.

"The Japanese musician, who wasn’t widely known before his death in 2003, has become a beacon for listeners on YouTube and beyond... soothing, vibrating hum underscoring largely electronic notes...“It reminds me of everything that’s free, like the air and the sun and the wind.”"

GraciE, my chatty rescue from 2015, is my loyal shadow—following me everywhere, from room to room, even racing me back from the mailbox. She gives nose bumps as kisses, filling my days with love, sass, and sweet companionship. Please post a photo of your furry friend.
