Witch Hazel bursts into bloom

Gather out of star-dust
Earth-dust,
Cloud-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust
Not for sale.

Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

"This day will never come again, and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today... You must play your part and sing a song, one of your best."
- Herman Hesse #BloomScrolling #UpbeatFall

May you know that absence is alive with hidden presence, that nothing is ever lost or forgotten. May the absences in your life grow full of eternal echo. May you sense around you the secret Elsewhere where the presences that have left you dwell.

She talks to the moon in the language of trees,ancient and rooted, the ways of sap. The moon talks back in the language of moons, shadow and light, the ways of water. The stones listen
and translate what they hear into the slow stillness of stones.

Climate changed quickly to cold and the trees burst into color, the reds and yellows you can’t believe. It isn’t only color but a glowing, as if the leaves gobbled the light of the autumn sun and then released it slowly. There’s a quality of fire
in these colors. Steinbeck

Democracy needs your courage Oct 18th NO KINGS protest sign

My daughter finished hers at 4 am.
This is her first protest.

True generosity flows quietly to communities that already know what they need, building capacity not dependency.

“We can change, evolve. We can choose to move like water rather than molded like clay. Life spirals in, then spirals out on any given day. It does not have to be one way, one truth, one voice. Nor does love have to be all or nothing.” - Terry Tempest Williams #BloomScrolling #Nature #Poetry

“You will never be alone,
you hear so deep a sound
when autumn comes.Yellow pulls across the hills and thrums... - William Stafford

A childhood mesmerized by the diverse shapes and colors of autumn leaves on trees arching overhead, shuffling through fallen carpets of gold and red on the sidewalk below 🍁 🍂

Up that staircase
the moon has built
Her light through
trees and rocks
All memories
bathing in poetry

Let's go out and feel the night
On this Harvest Moon

surprised to find my old story there with a new ending

scent of old leave -
what is dead brings such beautiful memories of youth

"At no other time, than autumn, does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; bitter where it borders on taste, and more honey-sweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, and darkness."- Rilke #BloomScrolling #Nature #Autumn

"October had tremendous possibility.The summer's oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles." - Sarah Guillory
