Where are the Democrats?
The convicted felon needs to be arrested for Renee Good's execution by one of his illegal street gang members. And just why is it the sheriff can go after Timothy Busfield for child abuse while we have Donald Trump accused of child rape running America the beautiful like a gangster does?

Love these poems
Tara Shepersky has a great little business and way of seeing I hope you get a chance to visit Tara's site. She's an antidote to despair, and has a lot of creative flowering going on in process with other people and plants and animals. This is from Tara's Three Healing Friends story: About a month ago, I had one of those days where everything feels hard. Without belaboring the intensity — perhaps you already know what I mean — I will say that the feeling is like a long and

Justice is coming for Hoarders Beyond Borders
So Jeff Bezos flees his moral responsibility to pay taxes on income here in Washington State. Some people use this fear of all the rich fleeing as reason to stop small steps toward progressive taxation here in Washington State. The Hoarders Beyond Borders psychopaths are not free agents. They are the result of conditions our society has created that let the rich buy Congress, privatize government and reduce your democratic decision making to complaining on anti social media a

Happy Mary!
Tis the season for gift giving. I love Jeanine Benyus who founded The Biomimicry Institute asking: We've been given free land, fresh air, clean water and food. How do we return the favor? How do we return the favor? Ask the next tree or plant or animal you pass by on your daily walk. Pay close attention to our interconnectedness. The revolution under way is difficult, but it is a return to our roots. A return to seeing life as sacred, and that we are all interconnected

They were rare when I was a kid camping in the Adirondacks, but now I can even find them in
