you’ve made it this far

Day 297~ Daily Prompt
How much would you pay to go to the moon?
Mar-A-Luna
You ask me this, as if you assume
I had the slightest desire…the moon?
To leave this beautiful, life-sustaining
place that I have known…i love my home
i think I’ll pass…but glad you asked
the price I’d pay to send away
a certain orange man with tiny hands,
his team of loyal hacks…now that
is worth considering, the lunar scape
suits this lot, cold as ice, core of rot
barren land paved with debris
two-faced, a dark side no one sees…
what wouldn’t I pay…it makes me giddy
to think of it, oh my! Would be a pity
to let this opportunity pass…you asked,
What would I pay? Let’s just say
anything and all to my last penny!

It’s been a rough week for democracy y’all. Well, let’s just say DT struck the final blow when he demolished the East Wing of the people’s house. We are not a democracy. There are no longer three separate branches of government. Congress has abdicated its responsibility, the Supreme Court majority is in lockstep with crowning the executive branch a dictatorship. The rule of law is dead. And the fourth estate has been silenced, cowed underground. SMH
So when I saw today’s daily prompt on WordPress I had to smile. It broke through the angst I had been feeling and gave me liberty to imagine an alternative reality to the current nightmare. I may have spent more time than is healthy crafting my poem and artwork for this one…but you know…desperate times do call for desperate measures to make sense of the obsurd.
So I started with my response to the prompt question…and then, once I allowed myself to muse at the possibility of freedom and liberty from our current state, i couldn’t help myself…I came up with my blueprint for Mar-a-Luna. Hey…a girl can dream.
It may not count as a proper glimmer but I do hope it relieves some of the tension of this current time, and makes you smile. I’ll try to share a proper glimmer once I head out into this beautiful world. But for now…
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

vindictive
.
fuck
around and find
out
there is no limit
to vengeance meted by immature
people
who feel entitled to
retribution for
perceived wrongs
raising hell on earth

Just when you feel totally over and done with the daily, sometimes hourly assault by powerful, cruel, deplorable people, more shit hits the fan. It’s by design you know. They want us to feel overwhelmed, to give up, to comply.
Never before in the course of this year, have I needed glimmers more….
We had a basket of more peaches that we would ever eat. My partner volunteers at a wildlife rescue center and I suggested she take them all to the shelter as a treat for the animals who reside there.
You guessed it! Today’s glimmer features an opposum named The Boss! This young fellow will never be released back into the wild. He is blind, you see, but that doesn’t mean that his little life has no value. He’s being trained to become an ambassador who, when he is older, will help teach children and event attendees about opossums…up close and personal. Today the Boss discovered that he loves peaches. And so, without further delay, I present to you the Boss, Ambassador Marsupial extraordinaire enjoying fresh peaches for the first time in his short little life…I hope his smile makes you smile!
Much love, peace and glimmers to you!

What’s your favorite word?
Serendipity
Shooting Stars…
Each
Radiant stream
Ebbs
Disintegrating
Into stardust, beautiful in death
Passing
Into oblivion
Temporarily
Dazzling
Yielding

You need to be in the right place at the precise right time to catch a glimpse of the final moments of distant ancient stars. Seeing a shooting star is serendipitous…my favorite word in response to this WordPress prompt. I love the sound of the word almost as much as I love its meaning.
Serendipity is the phenomenon of making fortunate and unexpected discoveries by chance, rather than by planning or searching for them.It’s the experience of finding something pleasant or valuable when you weren’t even looking for it, like a happy accident or a lucky coincidence. (AI definition)
Much love, peace, and serendipitous glimmers to you…

Here are a few of those serendipitous moments from today…
