The Trump thread started by Crazyheart is active again. Am I the only one who finds this a tad disconcerting?
Coffee will helpbut I might need two.
Wait, it isn't just me who does that.....it's like there is a ripple from their presence. The startle -- wait, where's the wee one.I've been away and babysitting the grandkids for most of the week. So...sorry to hear about the stumbles! Today, I'm rested because I slept in my own bed. But I keep imagining that I hear the 3-year-old asking Grandma for a drink, or to play a game, or a snack.
Thank you all.
We had heavy rain turning to hail turning to snow, then melting away. For all of you dealing with snow and anticipating Ukraine resistance, here a poem I found cleaning up my computer files:
CROCUS PRAYER
Adapted by Kim Crawford Harvie from the work of Jo Carr
It takes courage to be crocus minded.
. . .I’d rather wait until June,
Like wild roses,
When the hazards of winter are
Safely behind and I’m expected,
And everything’s ready for roses.
But crocuses?
Highly irregular.
Knifing up through hard-frozen ground and snow,
Sticking their necks out
Because they believe in spring
And have something personal and emphatic
To say about it.
. . .I am not by nature crocus-minded.
Even when I have studied the
Situation, and know there
Are wrongs that need righting,
Affirmations that need stating,
And know that my speaking out may offend,
For it rocks the boat –
Well, I’d rather wait until June.
Maybe things will work themselves out,
And we won’t have to make an issue of it.
Forgive me.
Wrongs won’t work themselves out.
Injustices and inequities and hurt
Don’t just dissolve.
Somebody has to stick their neck out;
Somebody who
Cares enough to think through
And work through
Hard ground,
Because they believe
And they have something personal
And emphatic to say about it.
Me — Crocus-minded?
Could it be that there are
Things that need to be said,
And I need to say them?
I pray for courage. Amen.
Northwind...'doctor's appointment' and 'all was good' are great things to hear in the same post!
