MAKING YOUR OWN HEAVEN

is it possible to stop being scared about what might happen
and just know your own heaven is something
here on earth that you have made with your own
hands
your own
heart

Thank you for your service. And, so true.
As a regular Manna Foodbank volunteer, I thank you. You put new meaning into Oh, SNAP.
ahhh fresh green new leaves
shedding off a maudlin funk
bare trees can but dream

Nice. Often darkness seems just over there ...
Purple shoes and whipped-cream dreams. Sounds like the best witch ever!
Hmmm. Maybe you need weekly targets.
there comes a time
when you're no longer needed
embrace it and yourself

Why you should be a sustaining rather than a once-a-year donor. Goes for Wikipedia, American Public Media, your local food pantry or regional food bank. Non-profits need to be able to plan ahead.
I used to make yearly donations to Wikimedia Foundation, but after talking to several friends in the nonprofit space, I've switched to recurring monthly donations instead. The predictable income stream helps them plan for the future. Throwing it out there for ppl looking for the best way to support
Very swoonworthy. 🍁
It's arrived!!
Thanks for the recommendation, Tom Cox. Looking forward to it. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social

The Villager is on track to be the 31st book I read this year. Wish I had started keeping track this closely years ago ... a list and mini reviews as a reminder.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
I'm sure everyone in your neighborhood now gets the Waterman Allure fountain pen ads. That's how the web works. And what a sweet daughter. ✒️
If you see each petal as a flute
you can hear the orchestra
the slight old man groaned
nothing really hurt no pain
just forgot his first colt's name

Kai turned mid-hike to ask if I would please stop taking photos.
chasing his tail
until you walk in the door

My pup knows the sound of both of our cars before any of us can see them coming down the road.
Pals.
Two pots in a pot.
soft breeze smell of salt 
tonight goes on forever
we be cool like that
