Sunlit daffodils,
living lanterns cradling light,
setting hills aglow.

Violets love rain
But lamplight is a poor sun
Blue skies forgotten.

would that we had more
violets than violence
handle life with care

@leebennett A beautiful family! The behavior of the Obamas in the White House was a master class in maintaining dignity and class under pressure.

Nada nuevo bajo el sol. Sir. Ian Mc. Kellen la rompe con un texto de William Shakespeare, que hace 400 años vio lo que vivimos hoy. Impresionante!

@rlcw 😊 😊

@TishaPaints 🤗

Revered actor Sir Ian McKellan telling us what the Bard thought about xenophobia - so beautifully recited I burst into tears. An important message to us, from the 1600s...

@TishaPaints I have purchased it. It's lovely, and I love the idea of tiny, accessible art. People with small wallets in small spaces need and deserve art as much as billionaires with vacant faces in cavernous places. 💙

[Update: Just sold! Thank you!]

Something tiny for your Friday 💙

thawing toes chilled by cold winds
winter walk reward

does anyone know 🧑🏼‍🌾
oats, peas, beans, and barley grow 🌱
seeds of song spring forth 🎶

alighting to drink
finding only hard surface
ice on the bird bath

unprotected pipes
presage a gorgeous ice storm
of one's own making

take signs to the streets
join with your neighbors and see
a glimmer of hope
