What are you running from? That’s something I would do when I’ve got a deadline approaching for a final draft.

I’m so grateful for your leadership. I wish every Democrat had had your back and followed suit. I hope that day comes soon.

Well we’ve mostly gotten rid of collars.

Sweet dreams. We need them.

Clearly no one is reading this in the US anymore.

Executive Orders

We haven’t known
this winter
in a long time.

Pipes
fuel lines
faces
hearts
frozen solid.

The thermometer drops

millions
are left out in the cold.

So very hateful.

Absolutely.

Mine came today too! It’s so beautiful. I look forward to read your piece and all that gorgeous work. So grateful.

Oh my. Thank you so much for this amazing and heartbreakingly needed poem for this present age. I’ve been thinking a lot recently of Saint- Exupery’s book “Flight to Arras”. Much love to all in the crossfires.

So grateful for the hearth of the house. There is even a stone heart at the top. I wish I knew who this thoughtful stonemason was.

I adore the early dark and its invitation to draw the beloved close.

Wishing the world a beautiful and peaceful afternoon.

Monday morning win. 5th grader Silas just presented me with what he called the “Class Award for hosting my favorite class”. He 3-D printed it himself. Made my week.
