Spring pansies, in luscious shades of sherbet pink, tangerine, marmalade, butterscotch (sounds like a dessert party recipe!)

Breaking: Ultra-processed food is unhealthy. The FDA is shocked. The food industry that funds their revolving door is not. You paid for this protection. You did not receive it. #PayingAttention

Markwayne Mullin advocates settling disputes with his fists. No vetting. No qualifications. Just Donny’s blessing. We keep handing the keys to people who’d fail a basic civics test. This isn’t an appointment. It’s a heist. #PayingAttention

Rep. Clay Higgins called federal authorities “the enemy” and invoked civil war over border disputes. This isn’t the left being dramatic. This is a sitting Republican congressman. #PayingAttention

The bar for “knowing more than the President” has never been lower. Critical thinking will get you there. So will a second-grade reading level, apparently. #criticalthinking #payingattention #unfit

Someone Should’ve Told Me the Stove Was Hot Do I create a safe barrier with a "potholder" and touch it anyway? Soak my hand in cold water for a few minutes and then try and touch the stove again—at least then I won’t feel the burn.

If you don’t know what hot means, why would you forego touching the stove? Yes, it's a metaphor ... for those moments when everything stops and you're slapped with a new, profound understanding.

Soft morning light still life… three terra-cotta pots with amaryllis bulbs in bloom. The tall, green stems have white and salmon-pink blossoms…also an iron pot planted with a sage-green succulent. On the right, the white column of a mantle and a glass vase holding willow stems.

‘Sometimes, the most profound awakenings come wrapped in the quietest of moments.’
-Stephen Crane

Layered leaves of a succulent. The fleshy leaves are edged in creamy-white, with a blush of pink alongthe edges. The center band is soft, celadon sea-green.

Rosettess of ornamental cabbage leaves. The layered petals are ivory-white with finely ruffled edges. The center leaves are pale celadon-green.

Senecio foliage..silvery gray leaves, with hues of celadon. In the lower left is a coleus plant with burgundy-purple and pink leaves.

cool misty morning… thinking of one of my favorite shades of color, celadon..

Paying Attention in Unsettled Times Fruit, a healing back — and the world on edge

Fruit. Coffee. A back that finally works again.
And a Trumpian world that feels dangerously unmoored.

A painting of flowers and fruit, c.1880, by Paul Cezanne. On a brown tabletop sits a bright orange, a golden-yellow lemon and a green lime. On the right, abstracted green foliage and a warm-pink flower stem from a black vase. The background is shades of cream, pewter gray with tinges of pearly pink. Wish my description was better!

A moment of still life…

Author Kurt Vonnegut, wearing cream colored trousers and white shoes, sits in front of a turquoise painted door. Mounted on the door is a garden gnome atop a red heart. On either side of him are hydrangea shrubs with large globular shaped flowers in shades of sky blue and violet. Emerald green grass frames the bottom of the photo, and a quote reads…”Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wondering, where we go matters less than what we notice.”
