Sometimes,
between the wall that divides us,
grows a single rose.

Still the Waters Calm
Wishing You Barrels, Not Teaspoons
In whatever ways you celebrate this time of year, I hope it includes a safe place to rest, a warm hearth surrounded by people you love, and extra measures of great joy and peace.
Your friend,

Get Rid and Live
Once you get rid of the riffraff, the world is calm and beautiful.

Tomorrow, August 19th, freedom of speech will be tested again
Dear Boston,
Tomorrow, you have a choice. The far-right has scheduled another rally. Some may be your citizens, some may come from other places.
Some of you will oppose the rally.
Yes, the far-right has a right to speak. Perhaps, if you are like me, you will continue to “fight” for justice and equality for all people. But please “fight” with words.
Regardless of your “side”, I know how tense passions are – how they can escalate to the rise in blood pressure, to teeth grinding, to clenched fists. But please, put down your shields, your torches, your tear gas. In fact, don’t bring them at all.
And to my NON Alt-right friends: As difficult as it may be, perhaps you can stand back and listen. Then, maybe we will discover why the alt-right is so afraid of differences and what led them to that fear.
Sincerely,
Carolyn D-W
Interwoven
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold.
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold.
“Tapestry” by Carol King (excerpt)
No, not impossible. Together we are interwoven threads of beauty. Leaving out unique textures and threads would be an injustice.
Feeling cold? Embrace the warmth of human kind’s tapestry.

Nothing like a campfire out in the country to pull you back to reality. Turn up your volume to hear the music!!!
Hoppy Day to you!
Whatever you are celebrating today, I wish you a wonderful day of peace, love and Hoppy-ness.
And, don’t let any take it away from you!
