I hope for our country’s sake that you are wrong. I believe having Nuremberg-style trials would help remove the tarnished stain from our history and set us on a path of unity.

Hear, hear!! And I would add “I will vote for any Democrat that promises to rebuild our institutions at super sonic speed and establish Nuremberg trials for every person supporting, participating or promoting fascism.

When I feel my perfectionism creeping in, I like to post a reminder to myself and others that life is not perfect, nature is not perfect and that’s what makes it all the better.

Do more of what makes you happy is the saying amidst a painting of brightly colorful flowers and leaves.

Art Attack: the overwhelming feeling of having so many creative ideas at once and not enough time to do them.

A famous Van Gogh painting of the yellow café in Southern France with a saying in Spanish that says “El color es a la pintura como el entusiasmo es a la vida” which translated means “Color is to painting as enthusiasm is to life”

Modern, funky, geometric writing image that artistically says “Blessed are the weird and misfits, the artists, writers and musicmakers, the dreamers and imaginers, for they let us see the world differently.” Great advice!

Gratitude transforms your mindset by shifting focus from what is missing to what is present, creating space for peace, joy, and a deeper connection🧡

This is what Stochastic violence looks like: He says something inflammatory and sics his base on the people he targets.

This is not what democracy looks like. Anyone who cares at all about the Constitution has to take a stand against this and against MAGA.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

I love owls and this poem was too cute not to share.

...Ok, so I paraphrased a bit.🦉

An illustration of a barn owl perched on a weird stick with a couple flowers and leaves at the tip.

Poem: A Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard;
Why can't we all be like that bird?

Photos of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, one of the only Muslim castles outside of the Muslim world. Built when the Moors invaded Spain in the 8th century, it remained part of the Moorish world until 1492 when Spain regained their territory. Details below

In the foreground, a nighttime photo of the illuminated Alhambra castle perched on a hill overlooking Granada, Spain. Trees softly frame the castle on the hill while the mountain behind it is dusted with snow. There is a sliver of the moon in the deep blue sky above the mountain.

A double frame photo. In the top photo, the intricate fountain supported by 12 lions stands in the middle of an open patio surround on all sides by beautiful moorish columns etched with Arabic. The fountain is still functioning since it was built in the 9th century when the Moors invaded Spain.

In the lower photo, a triple moorish arch in the castle shows the detailed opulent artistry. In the Muslim faith, you could not use images of people so they used Arabic writing, which is artistic in itself, to showcase their faith as well as geometric tile work, which is timeless and still used today.

Another view of the old ivory-colored Alhambra walls and arches intricate carvings cover every inch of each column, arch and wall. The image of columns behind columns next to columns is a way to depict their faith’s idea of eternity.
