A solitary great blue heron rests along the banks of the Mississippi River, which is glistening in the morning sun.

Paying our respects to One
Older than us all
Storm-fallen giant neighbor

Bright green grass and clear blue sky are split in half by the image of a large tree damaged in a storm, the right trunk still standing upright, while the left has splintered off and is perpendicular to the grass. The gash in the tree reveals a bright, creamy, smooth-seeming inner wood in contrast to the dark grayish bark on the outside of the trunk. The fallen tree was so tall that as two male adults examine the split tree, their heads are even with the the bottom edge of the split trunk. The trees many top branches, fully leafed out, keep the trunk from falling onto the ground. Close up of the fractured trunk at the bend of the split reveals the contrast between rough and textured gray bark and the creamy light yellow of the inner wood.

In 2022 Newbery-winning author Kelly Barnhill’s “The Ogress and the Orphans” gave children a book that examines the rise of authoritarianism/fascism in an easily manipulated, unthinking population and how it’s love, courage, and unflinching honesty which save the day.
Photo shows a hand holding a hardcover copy of Kelly Barnhill’s 2022 book, The Ogress and the Orphans. Cover illustration shows a giant stone woman with tiny flowers in her unruly hair standing in front of a roaring fireplace, wearing an apron, and bending low to offer a bowl of food to a shoeless, small, thin child wearing a patched blanket as a cloak.

I am so, SO sorry.

May traveling mercies go with you. May your family and aunt find solace in leach other. May love bring you peace and sustain you. May you all feel yourselves held in the Light.

Bald eagles were rare,
dying, when I was a kid.
Now they soar, sweet hope.

#HaikuSaturday
Dark wings outstretched, a mature bald eagle soars against a light blue sky, white head and tail both glinting in the sunlight.

A Lune for the Moonrise

I should be writing.
But Luna
calls, so walk I must.

Our world so broken
And yet so beautiful still
Being human hurts.

When this world gets heavy, I take myself for long walks, looking for solace in Nature.

Today, in the woods by the Mississippi, I found more than solace.

I think I found a portal.

Who wants to come with me?
