While the wars and manipulations of men
Fill the air with restless, convulsing fear and anger
Our quiet daily lives
(BIG GRASSHOPPER)
Keep steadily onward
The earth sends out old familiar energy
Even bringing forth flowers in the late Summer usually seen only in Spring
The Sun, the Rain, and the clouds sing overhead
The air is rich with the scents of earth, trees, flowers, and green weeds
All these things herded together soothe our souls.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

I guess I do. I didn’t know it. I am glad. And it is white—I didn’t have a white one.
