80,000 deaths
80,000
80,000

Joy with rain drops!
Happy day!

Today we remember
all who are suffering
the victims and the perpetrators

Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy

‪There is a sure ripening‬
in time in all things
Very soon comes vinegar

Thank you!
For golden highlights
cascading pink
aqua and grey
Thank you!
for buzzing chirping clucking
May this day
call us
to awe, wonder, and curiosity
to abundant life
to delight in goodness
may we walk in just peace
For the life of the world
For the Life that is

Dawning Sun
We sigh
as we greet this day
Gently illuminate our shadows
Quietly fill our thoughts with empathy
But Lord, ya got ta Use Your Outside Voice to speak Love into our hearts
'cause we are hard of hearing and we ain't listenin'

It is a new day
a new opportunity
to say
I love you

The maelstrom arrived
with no leaf to hide under
let go and rise up

art. as. resistance.

Wherever I am, the world comes after me.
It offers me its busyness. It does not believe
that I do not want it. Now I understand
why the old poets of China went so far and high
into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist.

~Mary Oliver, The Old Poets of China from her book “Why I Wake Early”

Snow!
