Laura🇨🇦

My plans for the next couple of days in a nutshell. Arrivederci amici miei👋

What a nutbar🤪

You have a way with words, Laura. Such outpourings! I will definitely look up Oliver’s “Devotions”. Thanks.

🩷😊

Indigenous wisdom has much to teach us. I’m glad you clarified that she experienced joy equally fully. Now I feel better🥹🙂🕊️

Right country, wrong province. This is south eastern Ontario.🙂

Condensed, indeed. Less is often more.
Thanks for the other recommendations. I’ll check them out. I like the idea of sensitivity to nature. Thoreau and Emmerson are two writers who had a gift in describing our connection to nature. It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but good feelings remain.

Thank you! Actually I have read Richard Rohr. A former coworker gave me his book Falling Upward when I retired. We are definitely on the same wavelength mon amie!

Oh, to feel the pain of Mother Earth is unimaginable. Our earth has a mother’s heart and it must be both infinitely strong and entirely obliterated at the same time. Too much to fathom. 💚🌎

Geese on the floodplain across the road from my house. Quite the cacophony!

That’s the burden we sensitive ones carry…💔 Sending you a pick-me-up hug🤗

Nicely said, Laura😊 Though I read a lot, I don’t read a lot of poetry. It was especially refreshing to read your post of Mary Oliver’s poem. There’s so much more nuance to poetry than mere prose. You may have just converted me! Who do you recommend for a newby to read?

Thanks for posting this. Profoundly moving🥹🕊️🧡

A photo of David Suzuki, Canadian zoologist and climate activist, with a quote from him: "We have become the impatient species, too busy to let nature replenish itself and too puffed up with our own sense of importance to acknowledge our utter dependence on its generosity."

The Trump regime is taking the maxim «divide and conquer» literally and to a deadly, self destructive extreme.

So sad😢 Trump’s erratic wrecking ball is not only hurting the US - it has global targets and impact. The damage of this war escalation will have immeasurable consequences.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to know what goes on in Trump’s head, but I’m glad I listened. Thanks. It helps to put the madness in context.

And a good day to you too Raymond.✌️

Powerful image and words🤍

A hefty but worthwhile read.

That’s a hefty article, but a good overview. I believe another reason for Trump’s war is so he can avoid an election. The reasons are many and complex, and the affects are global and long lasting. It’s a truly sad state of affairs😢 What shall we do about it, is the question to ask. What can we do?

Follow the money.

And on that note, I heard about the Obama Presidential Centre Museum opening in Chicago in June. It looks positively amazing. A beacon of hope✌️

The story is always what must PP do to be more likeable, to be taken seriously on the world stage, to attract women voters, etc… The fact is that he is seriously lacking in genuine leadership qualities. He’s a poser. He’s fake. His ruse is see through. Canadians are smarter than he thinks. #NeverPP

Thank you, Laura. I believe Carney’s words will go down in history as some of the wisest during these tumultuous times. And we both know whose words will go down as the most deranged😢

We all need some good news these days. Happy to share ours with you, mon amie 🤗

OMG Evil begets evil👿

We may be called upon to support our NATO allies who are being attacked in Trump’s war escalation fiasco. This could be armaments or financial aid to those countries. Maybe sanctions? This is very different from directly attacking Iran. Canada is not providing military aid to the US.

Nope, will never forget the evil unleashed by Trumpstein. Power to survivors✊
