The recent storm was the end for this blue crab, its bright colors contrasting with the long shadows of the last day of autumn.

The milkweed beetles are gone now. I did not find any carcasses, just the empty milkweed husks.
Except this one--we still has its seeds. And maybe, just maybe, a few critters hiding inside behind them.

White people could shut this down immediately if they wanted to.
Every media house should be condemning this; every corporation, every university, every CEO, every religious leader, everyone with a smidge of power should be speaking up.
Why aren't you speaking up loudly, White America?

Say the word aloud and it comes to life as, well, fun. Poetic.
Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

And now I hear my Granddad's voice singing silent night, a man born in 1898.
The voice is still alive, and will be as long as I breathe.
