Act Like It
~~~~~ Walking along tree-shaded paths I have never walked upon before. Not unknown, except to me, now. Smell of redwoods, carried to me On a fresh breeze, the warm sun.

All Life Matters
~~~~~ The spiderwebs clinging to the outside mirrors On both sides of my car, expresses tenacity, A right to life no less important than my own . When I wash the webs away, the spiders stay. It makes me think we must reframe our vision. We need to realize that all human lives matter. Red, […]

Beneath the Skin
~~~~~ Worker bees now stuck home, busy buzzing Around in circles, until loud alarm sounded. Stream out from all hives, about being alive, Defend those attacked due to evil unreason.

Merging Emerging
