Light a candle this quiet evening to read by
Watch the shadows cling to the wall
as people have done evenings in ages past
Lean against the bookcase, imagine each volume as a person
Take one from the shelf tonight to leaf through
captured thoughts of lives refusing to end

Nicely characterized!
the death of the lie
is scent, taste, color, texture

Strange reflecting on the stated ceasefire.
Sometimes I read or write in bed when this happens, believing the body does need the rest, and it's the mind that's overly active. Other times I just get up at 2 or 3, which the family find strange.
Today when elected leaders of a nation express eliminating a civilization, I wonder what would have happened if those of us inside - praying for peace or wishing we were on the flight to the moon - came outside to demand this madness stop immediately. A future suspends in the balance. #ForPeace
Sharing beautiful Easter greetings from the place Jesus lived IRL and arose to give hope... Praying for peace here.
Sweet, my 2 rescued house buns are digging away in the pillows just now, happily.

Magnolia tree blooms in spring in NYC.
"April is the cruelest month," I'm reminded, from poet T. S. Eliot's verses that continue, "...That corpse you planted last year in your garden, ‘Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?" Still, magnolia flowers open today in NYC. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47311/... #poems #poetsky

Still, no.
No, I still cite, but refute within text, if possible, showing any flaws therein that seem glaring.
Well, yes, I've seen plenty of us scared for a while here. Relabeling moral and just people as criminals is a strange slight of hand that can turn tragic.
Thank you, so beautiful! Having worked as a shelter adoptions counselor in NYC, I know how wonderful this is for the pup to find a forever bestie and a new home.
Heartbreaking.
Prime sad example of why I don't go for AI at all, it is Artificial Ignorance and often simply wrong. Tragic.
Yes. Barbara McClintock also advised me, "Stay away from the men," while I was in training, but unfortunately I wasn't too good at that. Or not good enough at it.

Neither intelligence nor creativity is necessarily linked to kindness. My Dad used to say when I was an overachieving kid, it's not enough to be smart, and more important to be good.
Yes, just watched it last week. So much similarity!
I remember those days, I think it is the "so that's gravity!" phase. I used it as a science teaching opportunity for my first toddler, convincing her we have to really try, in order to win over gravity. Then she wanted to win.
