Moon between electrical lines; red-leafed trees below.

The moon is wired.

A palm branch droops as the sunset recedes.

Really good to get out, savor the light that’s left.

Tree in silhouette against dimming sunlight next to the Library & Learning Resources Center, a modern building of concrete and stone angles, pipe-like buttresses supporting the upper floor.

I am drawn to these de Chirico-type angles.

Red-bricked Humanities bldg with a waxing moon in a lightly cloud-draped sky. Near sunset.

From this evening’s walk: Humanities bldg at Palomar College.

"Carlos" sent us this video from CA where he is picking grapes for minimum wage after a heavy rain. "The mud makes it hard to walk or push a wheelbarrow. After 8 hours my back and legs hurt." #WeFeedYou

Garden path at Prince of Peace Abbey, where I unintentionally captured a slightly curved sun beam.

White, lavender, & gold iris, open.

Red-orange & gold day lily.

Statue of St. Francis, head bowed, arms crossed over his chest. A grateful humility, perhaps.

More Abbey photos. Today, our last day, was peaceful & full of illuminating surprises.

One warplane swooped so low I almost thought it was going to crash. It made a bunch of car alarms go off.

Centering prayer altar draped in blue with a circle of candles & potted gold & purple flowers.

Outside the back door to my room at Prince of Peace Abbey. Lush green tree, like a Tree of Life.

Facilitating a silent retreat at Prince of Peace Abbey in as warplanes & helicopters thunder overhead firing live ammo is not what I’d envisioned for this particular Saturday. But the trees & gardens here are lovely. Mercy, hear our prayer.

Bella, gray & white, size luxe, has a mustache.

Ozzie at 7 months, soft black lil imp.

Ozzie’s long silky black tail.

Gray & white Bella snuggling up to my side.

Diggin my friend’s cats.

Late sunset at Carlsbad beach. Gray & orange-hued clouds at the horizon. Bushy greenness in the foreground.

Some timeline cheer: Carlsbad beach this evening.

Again I am doing too much screen/scrolling time. Need to take a break. 😔

Somehow it still feels like it happened recently.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence.

You can do both.

Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

There’s something peculiar about constantly showing images of bad people with the news. Their actions are significant, of course; but these people are small and far away from what most of us see every day. What most of us see every day is beautiful or has beauty in it.
