I relished reading this post and seeing the photos you shared. I haven't gotten to read very much these past few months, but "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snydef was one of them. Passed ot on to my 20-year-old son, who's working toward a double major in journalism & land conservation. He & his girlfriend may move to Berkeley, CA when she is ready to start law school. He may take classes there, as well as look into conservation efforts underway in the Bay Area.
I am currently reading "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott for Evelyn Skye's book club over at "Creatice, Inspired, Happy" on Substack. This week, though, I'm enjoying my son's company while he spends his vacation week with me, attending Resistance meetings with my co-housing neighbors, nurturing my connection with good friends, and practicing my deep listening skills.
Not sure if all this somehow offers a response to your prompts for deeper thought. I very much appreciate those. Nurturing my journey often takes flexibility, for each day asks different things of me. My morning walks on the forest trail & labyrinth path are life-giving. Processing grief on the labyrinth path by just quietly being with myself and the world around me does my heart & soul good.
Karen, i appreciate everything you shared✨. your way of staying curious and engaged. connecting to family, neighbors and friends. being with nature and the labyrinth, of course 🌀😉.
and Anne Lamont’s Bird by Bird. a gem I read years ago. she is a gem.
thank you so much for sharing how you are coping, hoping, grieving and being in these unsettled times. 🧡🧡🧡

Thank you, Anne! I also loved watching the 1st series of All Creatures Great & Small, and read at least the first book in the series. ✨️🦉😊
