The devil made so many other layers to avoid this exact situation. 😅

That is so great 😊😊😊

Actually worked on my book, in earnest. You?

A macrophoto I took of the face of a wide, partially melted, white woodwick candle. The candle is lit and juxtaposed on a dark background. In the foreground is a quotation in white text. It reads: "Look how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness." -Anne Frank. The word 'dark' (from darkness) is centred over the flame, and is the only word in black font. the faint brown text at the bottom states that this text graphic was made by Fiery Sun Song from Fluxofmind.ca

A candle🕯and a quotation ✍️ for the alphabet challenge - be the flame!

A photo I took of multiple red roses, still on the bush, in side profile. Blurred cloudy sky with some tall evergreen trees are in the background.

Change is the only constant. Let's focus on and build beautiful change 🌹

Ah, the poetic struggle. I find that sometimes the page tells me what it needs and I am just the humble servant that has almost no real control 😅

I like it. Perhaps the word ebbed if you want a change 😊

A photo I took of a brilliant red rose surrounded by the brown-tinted green leaves and thorned branches of its own bush, with sky in the distant background.

Happy Friday!

Here's a little gem to keep in your pocket:

"No" is a full sentence.

Your boundaries matter, and you don't have to explain yourself to strangers.

The background is a blurred image of books on a beach on a cloudless day. one book is fanned open. The white text in the foreground is a poem by famed poet Emily Dickinson. The text reads: There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry. This traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of toll; How frugal is the chariot That bears a human soul! By Emily Dickinson. Text graphic by Fiery Sun Song from FluxofMind.ca

Books are for everyone 📚🚢

It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale.

I only have myself to thank
For all the losses I've sustained;
Before each company had sank
I fired the staff that were best trained;
And when I got bills from the bank
I lied and claimed I had not gained;
In simple terms, I always stank
So can you guess what I am named?

Screenshot from the Poetry Foundation: In Flanders Fields BY JOHN MCCRAE In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark ou our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

A stylized macrophoto I took of a small pericallis flower sticking up out of the woven beige fibers of a basket. The flower has long, thin petals with magenta ends and brilliant white inner halves. The centre is a deep, ruffled purple. The fibres of the basket are mostly blurred, but the ones in the centre are highly textured and worn with use.

The world is not what we grew up thinking it was, but maybe we could build it to what it needs to be. We don't need to abolish our fear, just to cushion it with courage.

Black text on white background, this is a screenshot from the Poetry Foundation. It reads: The Lights of London by Louise Imogen Guiney The evenfall, so slow on hills, hath shot Far down into the valley's cold extreme, Untimely midnight; spire and roof and stream Like fleeing spectres, shudder and are not. The Hampstead hollies, from their sylvan plot Yet cloudless, lean in to watch as in a dream, From chaos climb with many a sudden gleam, London, one moment fallen and forgot. Her booths begin to flare; and gases bright Prick door and window; all her streets obscure Sparkle and swarm with nothing true nor sure, Full as a marsh of mist and winking light; Heaven thickens over, Heaven that cannot cure Her tear by day, her fevered smile by night. Source: American Poetry: The Nineteenth Century (The Library of America, 1993)

This gorgeous imagery pre-dates T.S. Eliot's work. Enjoy

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state For decades, it was hoped that this outcome would be achieved as part of a peace process built around a negotiated settlement between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority.

I am proud of my country's response in the face of genocide. I only wish it was enough. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat....

Stand up for yourself.
Stand up for all the voiceless.
If you can - stand up.

The metre trips and skips about in dizzy spirals - so befitting to the content. Very well done! 🤩✨️

Thanks! 😊
