You shouldn’t apologize for your work. It’s beautiful!

In St. Louis (US) at my feeder it’s the same bird. We call it the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. It’s only in the St. Louis area in the U.S. where it was introduced long ago but didn’t spread. I think of it as our little bird since it’s not invasive and is fun to watch.

Thanks for the memory. I forgot there were times when we’d turn off the old cabinet TV and there would be a “layer” of static on the glass of the tube you could touch or just listen to it crackle.

It sounds like the “someone” here has made it their hobby to lash out at people. I prefer hobbies which channel the energy from my anger into peace, love, beauty and community.

But to each their own I guess.

Great picture. I love, so much, that Andromeda is the farthest thing we can see with the naked eye. And it’s 2.5 million light years from us. That’s thirteen million trillion miles away!

God love and thank that almost elderly Catholic Ursuline sister librarian in a habit. She found the book for me and let me check it out. I learned to understand that being a girl is a whole world of challenge I hadn't considered as a boy growing up in a male dominated 80s culture.

I was in the 6th grade trying to read down the list of Judy Bloom books. I told my elementary school librarian I was looking for _Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret_. She said, "Are you sure?" and I said "Yes."

A day that we'll live. Keep fighting the good fight.

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity." -Yeats

Let's show conviction! It's a warning--not a prophecy.
