Percibo, en las hojas que el viento otoñal de la tarde arranca de los árboles, los pasos y el aliento de Dios, quien las pinta de matices amarillentos, cafés, dorados, naranjas y rojizos, y las convierte en alfombras que adornan y tapizan los bosques, los remansos y los jardines. Escucho sus rumores y sus silencios con la lluvia, en cada gota que se desprende de las nubes, en un delirio de hablarle al alma, a los sentidos, y dejarles lapsos de sigilos, pausas, simplemente, creo, para que se reconcilien y convivan en armonía, con equilibrio y plenamente. Veo el milagro de la creación y de la vida en cada flor que me regala sus perfumes, sus texturas, sus encantos y sus colores. Me siento inmerso en la fuente infinita, en el universo, al despojarme de las sandalias, caminar descalzo…

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says Del Rio, Texas, migrant encampment has been cleared – UPI.com

Of the roughly 15,000 people removed from the makeshift camp in south Texas, 2,000 have been deported to Haiti, 8,000 voluntarily traveled to Mexico and 5,000 were placed in immigration removal proceedings.

“Today, we have no migrants remaining in the camp under the International Bridge,” Mayorkas told reporters during a White House press briefing. “Migrants continue to be expelled under the [Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s] Title 42 authority.

“Title 42 is a public health authority and not an immigration policy, and it is important to note that Title 42 is applicable, and has been applicable, to all irregular migration.”

Snoqualmie Falls Brewery, a detailed look

Roadtirement

Yesterday we gave you a sneak peek at the Snoqualmie Falls Brewery. What you did not find out about was how nice a pub this is.  The main seating was outside in the open with tables that were sun protected by umbrellas. The small indoor eating area had tables spread very far apart, with mask required. All staff wore masks all the time.

We had just come from seeing the actual Falls and were both hungry and thirsty. This brewery certainly took care of immediate needs. Of course we had to get a flight, so our server Kelly picked out four to sample. Sher and I liked each and every one of the flight.

We’re having a ball in Snoqualmie

The “bar food” was absolutely delicious. We love good bar food and good beer. Thus it is easy for us to say “We love Snoqualmie Falls Brewery!” The cheese bread…
