all things being equal day to night, light to darkness temperatures cooling time to consider letting go as leaves fade and trees surrender to the wind change is coming, change is here darkness is looming night will consume the day for a season it will seem as though the light will never be as bright, but remember, seasons come and they go…it’s just a matter of time before the fragile balance shifts once again, and spring emerges from winter, let us stand in the balance all things being equal, together, our hearts warmed by hope, compassion and truth we are not alone let the harvest commence with blessings enough to keep us through the coming winter… blessings enough to grace us all

Today’s glimmer is the sounds of dusk on this beautiful, magical Autumnal Equinox.
finally time to heal crickets at dusk your silence is golden bent on destruction… Into stardust, beautiful in death gentle, though it may be

This week’s ReVerse is definitely an odd little collection of thoughts. It has been an odd time. I visited the D-Day Memorial in Bedford,VA with my sister today. It’s not far from where I live. In light of the state of our world it was a stark reminder of how far we have drifted from the ideals of unity against oppression. Everywhere we turned there were tributes to troops from other nations who fought side by side against fascism.
We are, I believe, watching history repeat. But I am afraid the US will not be on the right side of history when the story is told. What a sad day it is when patriots are considered those who fall in line behind our “dear leader”, and not the true patriots honored at this memorial site. I wonder what these heroes, who made the ultimate, selfless sacrifice might think about the self-serving ambitions of the leaders in charge today. I wonder if they would even recognize this current society as the country they loved.
sweet invitation “rub my belly human…” don’t be deceived my friends; don’t give in one touch gentle, though it may be will release a beast claws and teeth sweet cat? I think not!

Looks can be deceiving can’t they? And our perception, based on past experience, learned facts, wishes, aspirations, and hopes can skew our interpretation. Take my sweet (questionably so) kitty Frankie. At first glance one might think…oh! She’s so cute. She wants a belly rub. And you might actually be correct in your assumption, give it a go, and be met with purrs and submission under your gentle caress…OR YOU MIGHT BE TOTALLY MISREADING THE PRESENT SITUATION AND BE ACCOSTED BY A FURR BALL WITH TEETH AND CLAWS WRAPPED AROUND YOUR HAND!!!!
You never know. You see, Miss Frankie thinks she’s in charge…and it might seem as though she is in both cases. In fact I know she is. She has nothing better to do than to study my human behavior, my weaknesses and gullibilities, giving me just enough room to hang myself. The trap…she lures me in and acts happy to have me pet her. Then when I least expect it…she becomes a very different animal and I become her unsuspecting victim!
Funny thing about human nature. We are a gullible lot, most vulnerable to things that feed our emotions and hopes. But we would do well if we could be more like my little friend Frankie and study the behavior of those around us. What they say to try to appeal to us means nothing. It is what they do! And believe me, some unscrupulous people who set themselves in charge have studied us and our vulnerabilities. They know just how to entice us to comply so they can maintain control over us. But a dose of their own ploys might flip the switch.
Just as I no longer fall for my sweet kitty’s game, we can apply what we learn about those who seek to control us to avoid becoming victims. Today’s glimmer…a wee bit of advice. Stay woke my friends…pay attention…and watch what they do. Don’t be swayed by the promises that they never keep. All that glitters is just…glitter.
Much love, peace, and glimmers of wokeness to you!
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…
It’s been busy…and so much has transpired in the world these days. To my friends in the UK…thank you for saying out loud and proudly what we in the US are finding it increasingly dangerous to say during the recent visit by our president. So sorry you had to endure his ill-mannered behavior. But seeing the protests from across the pond did my heart good.
I have some lovely glimmers to share with you…and then a few poems to wrap things up as I catch up for yesterday and today.
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

Fog on Bramlett Mountain
day 259
silencing
watch the words you say they are listening from the shadows for whispers of protest free speech sacrificed to appease a thin-skinned bully a liar bent on destruction…
day 260
speaking up
say words that need said don’t let lying lies lie only truth will save us from this vile nightmare your silence is golden honesty is not policy to the powerful
