This is a beautiful collection of poems inspired and influenced by Maya Angelou's faith and love for humanity, and listening to her read them is a joy. Amazing Peace is such a gorgeous, moving poem to listen to at Christmas. (and I have to say, I wasn't expecting eulogies to Luther Vandross and Barry White.)

This book of poems gathered in protest over Bush‘s war took me a long time to finish. It wasn‘t an easy read given how much worse things are now and how I could see how what he did lead us to where we are. But an excellent collection nonetheless.

Today is another wonderful day for a celebration and our Litten of the Day is… @mabell !

Happy Birthday!!

Pictures from my last beach trip, for @ImperfectCJ .

It could very well be my final trip of the season — or, at least, the last one where I can go barefoot for a while. I didn‘t stick around for the sunset but I had plenty of peace and beauty without it. I‘m trying to save these moments up to get me through the dark winter.

#Falling Day 22: This #CountrySong by Bob Dylan was illuminated by Caldecott medalist Jon J Muth of the Zen shorts (panda series) fame. The result is exquisite. My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dh6

There‘s a lot of talk these days about getting 3.5% of the population involved in a protest. But why? And how?
I‘m trying to learn more about how nonviolent resistant world and (why) 😉
