day 295

vespers

here in the mountains all is well, the sun is setting
it’s hard to tell, to imagine the peril we're in
as I lay me down to sleep, I pray this alt-reality to keep

Some days, imagined glimmers are all that my heart can muster….we drift toward the light when our hearts are troubled.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you

Daily Prompt 10.22.25

What major historical events do you remember?

I remember

The day John F Kennedy died…Martin and Bobby too

I remember

The night the Beatles came to America on the Ed Sullivan show

I remember

the first measles and polio vaccines

I remember

the moonwalk…and years later watching the Challenger burst into flames

I remember

Vietnam…the draft, and the day my best friend’s brother died

I remember 9/11, January 6th, and the night of the 2024 election

I will never forget

The hell on earth that Donald Trump has inflicted…the pain, the cruelty, the hate…

I will never forget the day he took a wrecking ball to the people’s house…that was the day my heart broke

day 294

asking for a friend

dear god,
I get it
I do…but
I was so hoping
the rapture was
a thing … … I waited
all day, but they are
STILL HERE!

This makes me so sad…so I wrote about it…

a reckoning…we were warned

he’s planning to stay in the white house, you know
paving rose gardens, wrecking east walls
in horror, the world sees our once great nation fall
while powerful cowards sell off their own souls
paving rose gardens, wrecking east walls
he’s planning to stay in the white house, you know

It’s a rollercoaster isn’t it? I had an appointment today. One of the rare times I head into town, leaving my house in the foothills. When I returned to my car this was on the front hood…

It’s a little acorn cap, right there for me to see. Of course, to me this was no ordinary acorn cap. In that moment, I imagined that a faerie just might have left it there for me to find…to show me that my beloved patch of land in the woods is never far away, even when I find myself in the city. I carry the woods with me in my heart and soul wherever I go. Actually I carry nature’s glimmers with me wherever I go…because, dare I say it…I am nature and nature is me…I am a glimmer!

That sounds a bit arrogant I’m thinking, but I feel that spark in me. Even on a day when the news is sad. Even amidst concrete and blacktop and bricks and mortar. Even in the midst of busy blank faces.

Much love, light, and glimmers to you.

day 292

by a thread

roots of grass,
seeds of change
where hope dwells

Still thinking about the past weekend’s grassroots peaceful nationwide events and feeling hopeful.

I’m late in posting today’s glimmers. My schedule has kept me busy! you may remember I had gotten a beautiful African Violet plant over the summer. It was three plants in one pot actually, and once the blooms had faded I knew it was time to separate the plants giving them their own bed of fresh soil to settle into. So, I did that over the weekend. On Monday, several days after the transplant each plant is thriving! The hue you see in the photos above is from a grow lamp. I am spoiling them a bit. Well not really. Giving them luscious soil and plenty of UV light is not spoiling. Plants, like people need the most basic things to thrive. Over 7 million people came out on Saturday to remind those who may have forgotten or who just don’t care, of that very fact!

Bonus glimmer! You may also notice my rescued sago pine plant featured above. I had to be very brave in my intervention, clipping away the wilted fronds as was suggested in my research on recovery for sago palms. To my delight nubs of new life erupted from the base. And now a month or more later, just look at those leaf limbs! She is coming back! Such a beautiful soul.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you!
