Long-Tail Ducks!

These ducks used to be called Old Squaws, due to the "tut-tut" sound they make.  

However that became deemed derogatory and changed to the visually descriptive name instead.

MARCH FORTH!

I may join this march, though probably not in Washington. Anyone else?

If you're on Facebook, there's a secret March for Science group you can join.  The stories they relate are poignant and uplifting.  I am grateful for so many bright and creative people in our nation!

Suddenly....It's MARCH!

I know today is Ash Wednesday, and for some the start of Lent.  

Forgive this flower photo, therefore, as I am choosing Joy for Lent.

Valarie Kaur: Raising a Brown Boy in America

Click, scroll down and listen to her amazing, uplifting speech!!!

http://www.commondreams.org/further/2017/01/27/we-must-breathe-and-then-push

"In her speech, Kaur movingly told stories from her life - her grandfather imprisoned for his faith and other-ness, her fears about 'raising a brown boy in America,' her fervent imagining of the story of America as 'one long labor,' with a finer country 'waiting to be born.'  Let it be so."

Well, dear friends, this comes straight from jc's designs page!  

She first posted it the day after Thankful's brother, Rene, died so young.  

He died 10 years ago today, so please keep Thankful in your hearts today.

True Colors

Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes

don't be discouraged

oh I realize

it's hard to take courage

in a world full of people

you can lose sight of it all

and the darkness inside you

can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

shining through

I see your true colors

and that's why I love you

so don't be afraid to let them show

your true colors

true colors are beautiful

like a rainbow

Show me a smile then

don't be unhappy, can't remember

when I last saw you laughing

if this world makes you crazy

and you've taken all you can bear

you call me up

because you know I'll be there

I can't remember when I last saw you laugh.

And I'll see your true colors

shining through

I see your true colors

and that's why I love you

so don't be afraid to let them show

your true colors,

true colors are beautiful

like a rainbow

Still standing with Standing Rock

We are seeing our nation being destroyed by those in power, even as our people are coming together in solidarity and truth. We all now know a little more of what the Native Peoples of this land have long endured. May we continue to speak truth to power. My heart is still standing with Standing Rock.

Must be because they were Canadian. 😉

Meet me on the Dark Side of the Moon...

The moon passed between NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory and the Earth, 

allowing the satellite to capture this rare image of the Moon's far side in full sunlight. 

We normally don't see this side of the Moon, 

since the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth and doesn't rotate.

Excellent article about how and why Impeachment got into the Constitution

As talk turns toward impeachment over the next few months--and it will--this is the article to read to be informed.
