Grateful

Grounds For Hope

You didn’t heal me because of my great faith
We both know - my faith is always shaky.
You touched my weakened soul when I stretched my hand 
Your always steady strength shored me to safety. 

You show me mercy time and time again
Just like my father, embraced me with kindness.
Protect me like the most fruitful grain 
Even at times of my spiritual blindness.

‘People don’t know the Yanomami’: Q&A with filmmakers Davi Kopenawa & Luiz Bolognesi

After a dream, Yanomami shaman and great leader Davi Kopenawa began to reflect: television, cinema and all the images created and transmitted are an important part of white people’s culture. He concluded that it would be a good idea to make a film. “People from the city don’t acknowledge my people. The whites hadn’t been there yet to make a film for the big screen, so they could watch it. They can’t just look at cars, ships, planes,” Kopenawa says in an interview with Mongabay.

BLACK ROSE

Fire of Moods

of the little I have seen and heard,

this thing of man to me seem queer,

how quick they act to be dear to you,

and quicker they turn with jeers and boos.

this I know, men would sing your praise,

while you’re up they’ll seek your face,

once you’re down and light goes dim,

worthless him, valueless him shall be their hymn.

for each man it seems would be best alone,

since many are clay on hearts of stone,

“Jesus wept” itself has thus disclose,

he saw in man the buds- black rose.

your ever loving midst
by Jeff Flesch
[author’s site]

eyes,
shining bright,
just like the stars
on the clearest night

when you
first
came into
view,
I began
to retreat,
and you
bid me adieu

for a moment…

holding
hands together
that first time, was
something
extraordinarily
sublime

reflection
can give way
to temptation
of the rarest kind,
so it’s our job
to stay
balanced in mind,
and allow
our hearts to shine

forth,

bearing gifts
that become staples
of a tryst,
we may call upon
in your ever loving midst

Good Morning Sunshine

2048.studio

This sunrise photograph was taken yesterday from a scenic overlook along the (new) Foothills Parkway, near Wears Valley, Tennessee. As a bonus, I saw an adolescent black bear roughly my weight (235 lbs.) scamper across the road and uphill into the forest.

If you’d be interested in a print of any variety, then visit my gallery at Pixels to have a look around. There are many print types to select. Other items can also be found in my shop at Redbubble. Thanks!

This probably makes me a total biotch…

“The now-ex staff were lamenting that they’d have to find new careers…Bloody too right! You can’t work around infectious people, without some sort of protection for them and YOURSELF!

Actually, I take it back…I’m not the bitch, they are. I got my flu shot for the first time last year, even though that’s not’s COVID related. You can see reports where the cold/flu was down last year. More than likely people were getting shots, and the hygiene was SO much better.

I just do not feel bad for these people, but I feel like I’m supposed too.”

I just don’t feel sorry or anything really bad, for the Health and Medical workers who have been let go, because they refuse to get a vaccine.

Now, if they’ve had legitimate reasons for not getting it like medical, and yes religious, fine. They’ve known for months though this was coming up. Quiet frankly…

Like, I don’t know what to say about the situation. Other than, I just don’t feel sorry for them.

How can you work with the actual most vulnerable and not get a vaccine? Like surely working with COVID patients, you can SEE the impact it has? I’m now working with data entry and I’m STILL getting the vaccine.

My grandfather had emphysema, one winter, he got pneumonia. He went into Hospital, and then contracted MRSA, and that’s what killed him. What if it was one of the staff that passed that onto him? If I ever…
