#Mystical goddess, triumphant
But true victory only comes
When there are no more wars

Wellington Arch monument in London, which features the winged goddess Nike riding atop a chariot pulled by four horses. A huge fluffy cloud surrounded by bright blue sky forms the backdrop. The sculpture is meant to convey peace after wartime victory.

The sun lights up green tree leaves and leaves sparkles on a stretch of water below.

The trees are watching us and they're not impressed. #trees #treeoftheday #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #treehugger

A tree with scaly bark and a quizzical face as if trying to figure out humans.

Dawn makes shiny vows
But I prefer twilight's whispers—
And the dark #promise of night

I hope so too! That's a great quote. By pointing out so much that's so wrong, he's also been fighting for our democracy. Maybe he'll run for president now. 😃

In times of uncertainty and fear, #StephenColbert pulls off the impossible: He makes us laugh at the news. My mom is on oxygen with high risk for covid and he helped us laugh through the pandemic. This isn't America without #FreedomofSpeech & #Colbert

I think I tried to read The Gold Coast but couldn't get through it. I've felt that looming sense of disaster too - don't let it overtake you. It can be tempting to stop writing, but you won't be as happy as while you're writing.
