🌼Peace2Day🌼 @peace2day.bsky.social · Nov 11

we put our hearts to the sky like butterflies soaring hope
we are still those same butterflies
perhaps needing cocoons for a moment
until we find our flight again

grateful for every beautiful soul and friend finding here

may peace be within, with and find you, always

Justice department folks undermining justice. GOP women setting back women. "Christians" corrupting christianity. FBI ruining intelligence/public safety. Defense officials being offensive. Health department destroying our health. Education officials ruining education. This is Trump & the GOP.

Good morning -
books, books, books! 💛

"A hope of something beyond our place and time.

This is what books - the best books - give us:

a lifeline,
a reason to believe,
a way to breathe more freely."

Thank you for inspiring - always!
Have a good day ahead to you & all!

"At times of crisis or distress, it's poems that people turn to. (Poetry) still has a power to speak to people's feelings, maybe in a way that fiction, because it works in a longer way, can't. There's a little bit of your brain that mourns and grieves..."

happy bday English writer Blake Morrison, b.1950.

Wherever I go, I meet Virginians who tell me they’re concerned about costs — from healthcare, to housing, to energy.

They want their next Governor to focus on affordability. That’s why lowering costs is my #1 priority.

When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves.

All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others."

happy bday civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, b.1917, Montgomery county, MS.
