Hi, Bsky friends! Like so many other federal workers, my family is impacted by the ongoing Furlough. Please keep us in your prayers. If you you're financially capable and would like to help, each book purchase or KU read of my novels make a difference. My Amazon store: www.amazon.com/stores/Jessi...

A hazy view of the Red Rock Mountains from the Brins Mesa Trail, Coconino National Park, Sedona Az. A blue sky and long horizontal clouds top the purplish-red Red Rock Mountains that span the background of the photo. The mid ground is lush, green foliage of Oak Creek Canyon, and A spire jutting up on the far right side. The foreground is green foliage and the sienna colored, iron-rich dirt of Sedona.

I was walking in a nearby park that is covered with the autumn leaves and a jagged stone that´s a visible part of the gray bedrock has collected some in its hollow.🧡

why?

the ones who don’t care
seem to have the most impact
on the ones who do

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”
― Terry Pratchett

Water with trees and a few buildings on the other side. It is foggy and blurred because it was taken from a fast moving car.

nieuwe schaal in mijn buurt gezet 😃🩵
helaas moet ik wel door stengels heen fotograferen, dat zijn de tegengestelde belangen, zij winnen altijd 😒

er was een hele hoop gepiep vandaag, ja hoor de Sperwer had beet! k weet niet wat, een meesje of een ander zangvogeltje, in ieder geval onder luid en lang protest😔k had niks in de gaten, k was bij t vijvertje bezig. Eerder hadden de gaaien al achter de Sperwer aangezeten "we" waren gewaarschuwd 🥺 k hoop dat ik dit schattige koolmeesje nog zal zien..

er heeft een Roodborstje uit m'n uitgestoken hand gegeten vanmorgen, of t deze is, dát weet ik dan weer niet, ze doen raarrr, vooral tegen elkaar 🤓

kon het niet zo snel thuisbrengen, clubje vloog snel over van noordoost naar zuidwest... t zouden Veldleeuwerikken kunnen zijn!🤎🎼🍃

Beneath fallen rain,
roots remember every storm—
and still choose to bloom.

Letters never sent
drift like autumn leaves—
messages to the wind,
each one a confession
the trees already know.

I watch them scatter,
little ghosts of what was felt,
words unspoken but alive
in the hush between branches,
where even silence listens kindly.

I wrote this poem for my class today. It’s called The Magic of Love. They enjoyed it. I believe that love is magic! #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

Los antepasados, the #ancestors, had migrated from Aztlan. La gente habían estado caminando in the #business of survival. Home was where they made it. Home travelled with La Raza. They had many names across time—Mexica, Mexican, Hispanic, Latine. Siempre habían sido indios.

Now to the #business of winter
Birds scrabble despite thick rain
As earth sops the sky
Saving against drought
A few strong gusts
Will bare the trees
Revealing last year's nests
A promise and an aim
Make it through

Mango joins me in adoration of this new anthology. I'm simply gobsmacked to be included in such a sea of talent.
