The Rhetorical Situation

It’s scary that about 20% of eligible citizens are not registered to vote.

Let this patriotic pumpkin remind you: voting is our way to decide who runs our cities, counties, states…and also who leads as our figurehead on the world stage. Choosing your local sheriffs, judges, mayor and city  commissioner make a huge difference in your day-to-day life. Consider the power of your vote. ❤️

Be It

Dream of better lives, the kind that never hate.

You've seen the difference, and it's getting better all the time

2024 is going to be a big year for America. Consider voting…

What’s the last thing you taught yourself?

I bought a blue acoustic guitar with my first stimulus check. I’m not sure why, or why blue, but it seemed perfect to me. As I sat on the porch of my Bywater home, it struck me: my mother urged me for years to learn to play, to accompany myself while I sing…and being at home with no place to go seemed the right moment. Months in isolation. It should have been the right time.

I am still working to learn basic chords.

But: I tinkered around and can strum “Man in the Long Black Coat”. Mom was right: it’s great fun to play as I sing.

Giddy, I feel so clever having figured it out all by myself. There’s a glow of elation when one teaches herself something, figures it out without any help. A beaming that rivals the sun.

Walking in space

We find the purpose of peace

The beauty of life

Our eyes are open

Our eyes are open

Our eyes are open

Our eyes are open

Irony.
