Happy Friday (try)… a photographer opened a whole new world for me by exposing me (pun) to importance and power of light, ever since my perspective is richer, more interesting, endless. Natural light and its dynamic effect on anything and everything is life’s art, puts us in a painting. Earlier I had thoughts of shadows, and I scratched this little ditty (what surprises me, these little prose journeys, typically underlying is love, a longing, a mystery),

In the Shadows

A poem: Light, relatively, sets atmosphere, enhanced by contrast.

Searching or Seeking?

Whether real or not, you may find you.

Recently I’ve known multiple people passed away too young. Life is temporary. Live it!

By my maker’s grace
I have another day
With my own free will
With something to say.

Get loud!

Totally random, while at a ranch last week helping recover from storm damage was inspired power of wind gusts and still windy observing noisy roar drowning out voices as if wind blew away spoken words, laughingly so (while safe); scratched this little ditty about this situational phenomenon and missed connection, or taken deeply, can be perceived metaphorically with wind representing life’s chaos and whirl and missing moment(s)…

How Much?
Expected to take; do we break?

So much so
So much fear
So how low?
It’s not clear

Why is it so?
Hate rules
Love to sow
Angry fools

Can’t escape
Face head on
Societal fate
Humanity torn

Show up now
Stand up all
Rights vowed
Time to howl!

America’s past fight against Nazis and sacrifice.

Visited WW2 American cemetery in Luxembourg, 5,000+ buried from Battle of Bulge (10,000+ Americans died), last major WW2 battle, to defeat Nazis.

Excuse sniffling in video, couldn’t prepare myself, still shaking… compounding my emotions, standing there in upmost humbleness, thanks, and we have a fascist Nazi sympathizer and apparent holocaust denier in our WH.

We the People; these past of us gave ultimate sacrifice to defeat evil fascism.

“The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools who applaud them.”

Hey, #BrokenPost editorial board, the timing wasn't Smith's, it was the Supreme Court's and Trump's and you know it.
Jack Smith has dubious timing — but a good case https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/04/jack-smith-trump-jan-6-filing/

A filing on the Jan. 6 prosecution against Donald Trump includes valuable new details.
