There was harmony in the park this morning. No swooping seagulls. No squirrel on the run with snarky birds in hot pursuit. There was no huge butterfly skewered in the beak of a tiny bird. Everyone was getting along!
Imagine that!!
aspirations
collide with reality –

I’m grateful for life and breath
as I greet each new day
I know it wasn’t promised

Justice for George Floyd whose life was snuffed out by the Minneapolis police by kneeling on his neck, for over 8 minutes, until he was dead, in plain sight!!
this cloud, generations old
cavalier cruelty has me bawling again
in search of air I walk to the park
no sign of the sun
yet, a toddler chases butterflies
