"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Broken....But

Today was a difficult day for many Americans.....things just feel so broken and hopeless. It almost seems wrong to celebrate anything on days like this.

But the sun came up.

The birds sang all day long.

And there is still beauty all around me. 

"What I want in my life is to be dazzled. To cast aside  the weight of facts and maybe even float a little above this difficult world."  Mary Oliver


I had a Zoom call this afternoon with Roseanne, who I've been corresponding with for several months now.  We met through the blog and have found so much common ground that we can finish each other's sentences.  We acknowledged the tough news of the day....but floated above it for a few hours....and shared our stories.  

"Imagine a world where we all listen to each other's stories and learn we are all not as different as we are the same."  Story People
