Just now. Anyone else remember when a nice spring/summer storm would go through, and when the lightning stopped, you could go walk in the rain? We don’t get that anymore. We get storm bursts and torrential rain and hail and tornadoes. Global warming? I think yes.

Were treated to a rare “pink” moon this weekend. Always looking for beauty in the turmoil.

Who Moved My Cheese? By Spencer Johnson, MD
Change is inevitable, but that doesn’t make it easy. Change that is expected can be dreaded but planned for. Sometimes the world doesn’t cooperate with your plan.

Varying wood blocks create a distinct and beautiful warm display of texture, mood, and color. Just a man-made wall in a Louisville hotel…

Sunlight shiny through branches and blooms of forsythia. Yellow flowering stars glow brightly in early spring.

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson
A sweet fantastical tale (sources say written for his wife) full of peril, relationships, and jest. A wonderful read!

Field clover. Everywhere right now are fields of purple. Beautiful but a headache to our farmers.

Lethal Passage by Erik Larson (Yes, another by Larson. He made me a non-fiction reader.) An exploration of a Gun/School incident. Wish I had read this one sooner in my career. In the end, Larson gives phenomenal policy advice.

Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson
In the days when weather predicting was unregulated, the competition was ugly. It was a ‘cry wolf,’ undermining, underestimating time. When disaster struck, no one was truly ready.

Orchids at the zoo inside the Amazonia building. Although reaching the end of bloom, detail and life lingers.

If only you could fill the breeze… A beautiful magnolia blooming into spring. Luxurious pink flowers practically glow against the tile blue sky.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The nature of humans.
Human nature.
A book to lean in to, search for answers, and find your own.

Birthday gift bookmark from my daughter to remind me, during my meditative reading sessions, there are those who need to meet their demise. Is that poetic justice?
By the way, the book The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd is very intriguing thus far. #subtlereminders #booksky #justice

Lights Out by Navessa Allen
Ok, this is a real smutty one, BUT just for the banter, the jargon, and Allen’s way of the written word make we want to read it again. 🪭🧊🤭
