In response to the Mosque shooting in Christchurch NZ today, someone wrote this on a Wellington street. I had to go down after work and take a pic because I found it comforting that the immediate response from even a not so law abiding or eloquent member of our society was to reject hate and declare love.

Took sunflowers from the garden to the local mosque today. It's not much but we grew them, laughed when the seeds came up, talked to them, watched them grow & bloom. There's love in them. Sunflowers always find the sun. Maybe that's a tiny piece of what's needed right now.

So as a human, we all need to say F––k Islamophobia and all bigotry

The idea of creating the Whispering Forest almost entirely out of its dialogue and compliments seemed like an interesting and fitting route to take when making this. However, I did have to keep the tree template because without it, you'd be hard pressed to realize those are trees.

Are they cooler than us? Yes. Will they always be cooler? Oh, for sure! 👯🏻‍♀️🤪💞 Zoey also insisted on taking a picture of us so we'd feel included. 😆 #goodtimeswithgoodpeople #girlmom #sheiseverything #thatfacetho #theyareus #bestoftimes #movietime #mondaymood #motherhood #movienight #coolerthanme #adventuretime #violet2wyatt #friends #bossbaby https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfCXNINxNFDr9QSWy_vU0z3YSC9wXkbw4t7N00/?utm_medium=tumblr

“I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade, When Spring comes back with rustling shade And apple-blossoms fill the air — I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair. It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath — It may be I shall pass him still. I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battered hill, When Spring comes round again this year And the first meadow-flowers appear. God knows ’twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, Where hushed awakenings are dear... But I’ve a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.“ I Have a Rendezvous with Death Alan Seeger, 1888-1916 #TheyAreUs #christchurchshooting A Phoenix rises over the tomb of the Mughal Princess Khair-un-Nisa, on a ridge next to the Ghan river valley, outside Rohtas Fort. #pakistan #heritage #pakistanigeritage #architecture #historicalsite #RohtasFort #Dina #Jehlum #tomb #shrine #landscape #evening #phoenixrising (at Qila Rohtas, Dina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvC0n4aAW-J/?igshid=jfpkk0qkek6f
