Looking at your beautiful pictures always relaxes my body Melanie, they bring a big sigh of release of tension I’m sometimes not even sure I’m holding, so thank you for that.

I don’t know what to think about the election result from across the pond. These are strange times indeed, but you’re right, there’s no need for anyone to be enemies, having being human in common we often share more values than we realise.

Hope you’re getting over your jet lag.

This line that you wrote made me think: ‘Fear can be debilitating or motivating’…I’m going to aim for motivating. Thanks Melanie ☺️

Nature is so giving… even looking at pictures of her can bring healing and peace. I’m always happy to share photos of her beauty, and even happier to learn that you connect with them, dear Rae.

Thanks for your insightful comments. I’ve been thinking a lot about where to find common ground in my divided nation.

I still have jet lag… It always takes me 2-3 weeks to fully recover. Are you over yours?

Today I’ve read and watched many reactions to the election results and ALL of them are calling us to not give up the fight for that more beautiful world our hearts know is possible, even in the face of fear. I really like what Chris Packham said: “ “I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good, the grip on my dreams just got tighter.”

We are all in this together. 🥰 🌳

I think I’m over the jet lag thanks Mel, just got that heavy tiredness that comes from lack of sunlight now…hoping for some crisp & bright autumnal days soon. 🤞 it’s good weather for hibernating & getting over your jet lag though ☺️ Hope you feel well rested soon xx

I'd rather we did not take the path on which we now, collectively, stand. It is known that Donald admires Hitler, that his speech resembles Hitler to the extent that he may well be qouting him. Donald knows that the voters know this about him, and that they decided to give him a mandate by way of their overwhelming support.

The two are so obviously aligned that a vote for Don, is like voting for Hitler. We were asked to weight that concern, and gave Hitler the nod. Thumbs up.

No, I don't lump all Trumpers in with Hitler, but it is sad that this is where we stand. It is not good for a good person to support someone like Donald Trump. It harms them.

Yes, I remain hopeful. I do not condemn those I disagree with. I will speak my mind and that is one way I keep hope alive and search for what might be best.

Thanks Tomás. A rallying call: Rise up fallen fighters

Rise and take your stance again.

Thanks Bob Marley. We need all the encouragement, all the dance, all the beautiful backup singers.
