Ramshorn Creek at Hwy 3 in the Trinity Mountains for #MountainMonday

The sun has dropped behind the Grand Tetons and a warm sunset is underway. The three visible peaks appear distant and seem very tall, with a small glacier between them and some snow patches. Trees grow on their lower slopes. On the plains before the mountains a forest and a grassy prairie are visible.

In a nation where nobody can get along with anyone else because they have differences, will they ever be able to pull together to fix their shit?
It's not looking good.

This image captures a breathtaking, serene landscape of a narrow river gorge at twilight. A turquoise river rushes energetically through the center, featuring frothy whitewater rapids and a small cascade waterfall tumbling from moss-covered rocks on the left bank. Steep, rugged cliffs of dark basalt-like stone frame the scene, dotted with patches of green lichen and low shrubs clinging to the edges. Lush evergreen forests—dominated by tall conifers like pines and firs, interspersed with a few deciduous trees showing hints of autumnal orange and red foliage—line both sides, creating a dense, immersive woodland backdrop. The sky above is a dramatic gradient of deep indigo and purple clouds blending into warm sunset hues of pink, orange, and gold near the horizon, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the treetops. Overall, it evokes a sense of wild, untouched Pacific Northwest wilderness, in Glacier National Park.

Let your mind become still like a pond in the forest. Let it become clear like water flowing down from the mountains. Let murky water settle, and it will become clear; and let your wandering thoughts and desires settle.
Buddha

In the end, what remains is joy that does not fade because it does not depend on external factors. It arises from connection, from love, and from the deep knowledge that we are protected. This joy dwells in our hearts and reminds us that what is essential has always been there.

Earthly angels appear when the world feels heavy, when hope trembles and faith wavers. They remind us that the light still moves through the cracks. They teach us that divinity is not far away—it breathes among us, woven through acts of compassion, patience, and love.

If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today.
No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.

To those who carry on. Those who wake up, take a breath, and face life exactly as it is—without pretending it's easy. Those who survive, adapt, soften, and yet still emerge. The silent warriors who ask for help when the burden becomes heavy, who arrive each day honest, imperfect, and authentic.

In the stillness of the night lies the power of dreams, which awaken to life at dawn. May every darkness illuminate your path and every sunrise offer you the opportunity to begin anew.

Without doubt my favourite photograph of the year: sunrise at Lindisfarne Castle though the hole in the wall.

An uplifting poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson

I remember when I was going through a really difficult time in my life with my young family, this poem on the side of our refrigerator; I read every morning. It helped me know I was okay 💛 #Emerson #depression #living #awakening #imagesandverse #success #hardtimes #eastcoastkin #life #fdt

This is the best advice I have seen all year.

A quiet stretch of the Glomma River, where houses and bare birch trees mirror perfectly on the still winter water. 🍂

On the edge by a dirt road stands a single bare tree. To its right is a body of water. In the background are mountains.
