Happy Mother’s Day!
Wishing all Moms the best of days, good health and wonderful blessings.
But some have lost their Moms recently, so may you be comforted and lifted up each day.
And some Moms raise their children by themselves. May you be given strength and everything your family needs!
And for those that hope to be Moms in the future, God bless you!
Peace and blessings to each one. Amen.

As the oak leaves grow strong,
the dogwoods remember their beauty
blooming so wonderfully,
while the azaleas ascend
with confidence.

In the shades of green, in the explosion of color
we can be stunned by the beauty, filled
with the expectation
of a new beginning,
reflecting
on all
that has been made.

Iris came to visit recently, but she’s very sensitive
and gentle, so try not to stare,
And when she’s dressed
in purple,
she’s a little shy.
Note: These are Iris flowers.

Well I admit it, I’ve been holding back. After all we’ve been through within the past two years with this president, I think we’re all burned out, trying to just survive our battle fatigue.
And that’s the biggest danger, that we will not care anymore. It doesn’t really matter does it, that he’s lied so much, that he hides his money, that he does seem to have obstructed justice a number of times, that he just wants to look good,
that the AG spun the report in a positive way, causing conservatives to do the happy dance, when in fact the report isn’t positive at all.
Another protector blocking attempts to find the truth simply because, he’s “conservative”.
But it does matter when people do wrong and try to get other people to do wrong too.
Did you know you don’t have to commit a crime to be impeached?
Yes eating chicken during a hearing is stupid, and inappropriate, but we need to protect our democracy,
not a politician who believes he is above the law, and that he should be able to do whatever he wants. Nah, we don’t need that.

The most peaceful people I have ever met
always
care about others,
making our world
a better place.

In the early morning light, leaves speak of peace
and a gentle rain
while a bumble bee hovers
watching me, as if I was intruding.
A chipmunk darts, when a pair of wings opens
and hops from one tree limb to another, hopeful.
“Will you release your prayer?” the crow seems to say,
I realize in the early morning light, of the deep forest…..
it is time.
