hope is the thing with feathers...

No matter Emily Dickenson's subject, there is always a calming force in all that she writes...a slowing down...a reflection...

neighbours and night life...

My neighbour enjoys the nightlife at home over this Christmas-New Year period...
Friends invited...it seems on a rotation basis...
One family leaves another arrives...
And they dine and play games and talk till the wee hours on the outdoor covered but open large balcony... pic.twitter.com/zlMWyF9jYe

covid news chain...

PASSING THOUGHT: The covid news chain continues to uncover and link new outbreaks. More and more, home is once again the place to be...I've done this before... I know what to do...
Find new challenges in my sanctuary, new candles to light... pic.twitter.com/JfqmSUnfLl

in tune with summer greens...

Here is a place I could happily sit for awhile...
and feel poetic...

in tune with
softly rolling
summer greens
I feel the heartbeat
of blue waters #tanka https://t.co/Fs3x8B75DK

youth today...

Wondering...
Why have young ones (esp teenagers) changed esp in Western societies?
Or is there another perspective?
Could this be the real truth?
We indulge our children as parents (helicopter parenting) + so children feel 'entitled'?
Do private schools perpetuate this scenario? pic.twitter.com/Y1XSvJALcD

my Sunday's grey rain
