autumn leaves
.
streams
of morning light
cast
a tawny hue through
my window, full autumn’s spectacle
in view
orange, gold, burgundy
too soon winds will come
winter trees
naked in the snow

More glimmers from this weekend…Autumn in her fullness!
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

What’s something you believe everyone should know.
open minds
never stop learning
we don’t know what we don’t know
fools insist they do

I attended a social event recently. The table conversation was quite enlightening and disturbing. (I didn’t say much…just listened). People declared such outrageous things with such confidence and assurance of validity of their truth! It was shocking. Their remarks were right out of a certain propaganda playbook. I used to think that intelligent people surely saw right through the lies and what’s happening in our country and the world. But I was mistaken in that assumption. My wife corrected me when we spoke about it after I got back home.
“Educated does not always mean intelligent,” she remarked. Wow! That perfectly explained it. There’s a reason I limit my time in public and prefer the company of deer, squirrels, crows, and trees.
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

Today’s glimmer is the view out my window as I work. I love autumn! 🍂🍁✨💚✨🍁
the circus
the elephant is sitting
in the middle of the room
having left its corner though
no one seemed to notice…
an elephant is no small thing
but we were distracted
by flying monkeys and rats,
so many rats, termites gnawing
through the walls, ants and roaches
reducing the foundation to dust
it was the elephant
in the middle of the room…
an elephant is no small thing,
perched on a pedestal,
a blue ball balanced
vicariously on his snout
that held our attention
as the walls came tumbling down

I need a glimmer. When this happens I head to the hills…(out my back door) and dear Mother Nature draws me in. She’s fading these days into gold, orange and crimson, as if to say, kat, what you really need is a good long nap. I’m not entirely convinced that is a good idea with winter’s blight closing in. But she shushes me with a lullaby as soft as new fallen snow, and whispers as I drift to sleep…spring is coming.
and just like that…in my dreams the circus disappeared, as circuses do, leaving only sawdust in its wake…
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you. ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨
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!

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!
