 Yellow daffodils Waving in the morning sun Say welcome to Spring. Rainbow over Bay Shows all the colors of light Hope for a new year. Fiery skyscape Red clouds, golden flattening ball Diverts mind from now. Eagerly watching For the osprey to return Hope is flying in. Silence, once so sweet Presses upon lonely soul Music brings solace. |  During these hard times, watch for the hearts and crystals that bring a smile, comfort, hope. Doctor, medic, nurse Toil selflessly for us May we care for them. Friends call, say hello Send me a birthday present Showing that they care. Warm body snuggled Against my sleeping body Brings heat and comfort. A welcome phone call How are you? Are you okay? Just thinking of you. Scientists garb up Work tirelessly day and night Bring us a vaccine. |
 Rosie's Arrival Feb. 19, 2021 cap from video of GGAS nest cam Welcome back, Rosie! | May those of us fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads and relatively good health remember those who have lost their livelihoods or their health in these hard times. May we practice compassion and show good will to all and help those in need as we are able. Together, we can emerge from these hard times into a renewed society and hope for a better future. Let us help the rainbow shine through the clouds.  |
Thoughts from JM regarding divisive politics, viruses and life's struggles:
History does not judge, it records.
Empathy is a friendly bridge, antipathy is a hostile ridge.
Moderation can ameliorate, extreme will agitate.
Struggle and strife are the stuff of life.
Good health is real wealth.
Not knowing is not a virtue.
To become more informed, more reflective and more humane is to become more human.
