Let the waters of light wash over and through you. Let fear dissolve and melt into the unending river of love. Water shapes and smooths even the most jagged stone. Become the flow. Live the light. Change the world.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it, and harmonious Earth Day on the 22nd!

“Every life you encounter—human, animal, plant, mineral—has consciousness and spirit. All are a part of the beautiful, blesséd creation known as planet Earth. Treat them tenderly. Offer compassion whenever possible. Recognize your kinship with all creatures. Bless each soul you pass along the highway of life.” —Archangel Book of Days: A Year of Inspiration and Blessings by Diana Henderson

‼️UPDATE: FOSTER FOUND! This precious dog will be rescued by Perfectly Imperfect Pups on Monday! She will have wonderful care, lots of love, and nourishing food. Thank you beyond words to her foster family, to PIPs, and to everyone who shared her, prayed for her, and helped to find her foster!

See ALT text of the photo (too long to post).

As we move through these times, we have a choice from moment to moment to lose ourselves and align with shadow or to stand in the light of truth, wisdom, love, and honor. We walk a fine line. We must stay informed and take appropriate action while maintaining our inner compass and choosing to remain true to the light of our spirits. As MLK Jr. said long ago, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." My darling and I try hard to remember that and keep ourselves aligned with love. Sometimes we fail entirely, but then we pick ourselves up and heed the call of the heart. We seek out moments of joy, usually with our animal companions and/or in nature, because it's all too easy to get burned out by the onslaught of what is happening. Without love and joy, the path becomes murky and too hard to navigate, so we look for those small moments when we can embrace the light of our true selves and expand into that essence. There's a lot going on in our lives, including my mother recovering from a stroke and then carotid stent surgery and his best friend of 50+ years going into hospice as of Thursday. Of course, we have our own physical and emotional challenges, so he makes sure to practice mindfulness and go to his Saturday morning online sangha every week, and I do my art and meditate as often as I can. Music reminds us of better days; it sparks hope and awakens inner truth. We find solace in the small miracles that might go unobserved if we stop paying attention. A carpenter bee buzzed me repeatedly this afternoon. A gorgeous dragonfly, the first I've seen this season, hovered near me at length. We both noticed a plump and happy songbird preening outside the kitchen window. We are grateful for the signs that serve to remind us to be who we are and live our light even in such times.

Can someone foster this precious girl so Perfectly Imperfect Pups can pull her from the shelter?! She was adopted, starved, and returned to the shelter! Fill out a foster form at pipsrescue.org/foster-a-pip/

FOSTER NEEDED!

In today’s “what is wrong with people” moment...
This sweet girl was adopted from the shelter in August — and just returned completely emaciated from neglect. Despite everything she’s been through, she is still incredibly loving, both with people and other dogs.

She urgently needs to get out of the shelter so she can start healing. She deserves a warm home, a full belly (preferably filled with about 5,000 cheeseburgers!), and a second chance at life.

She’s about 2.5 years old, dog-friendly, people-friendly, and simply needs someone to open their heart and home to her.

If you can foster, please apply at pipsrescue.org/foster.
Let's show her what true love feels like.

President Trump just fired almost the entire staff of the CFPB, who protect you from getting scammed by Wall Street.

This is another assault on consumers and our democracy by Trump's lawless Administration.

We will fight back with everything we've got.

Hi, Missy. Did you leave Facebook? I miss seeing you there. I notice you haven't posted here in 11 days either, so I hope you're okay. 🩵

When the shadow rises, we must stand more resolutely in the light of truth.

Deep within, silence falls. Spirit calls.
Time to rise and stand tall.

We shall not falter.
We will not fade.
Harvest sweetgrass and begin to braid.

We will not give in to circumstance.
Grandmother Earth beckons us to the dance.

Now the rainbow warriors begin to awake
In these days of shadow and heartache.

Deep within, silence falls as Spirit calls.
It's time to rise and stand tall.

We shall not falter. We will not fade.
Harvest sweetgrass and begin to braid.

We will not give in to circumstance.
Grandmother Earth beckons us to the dance.

The ancestors speak deep into the night.
Hold strong. Do not submit to fright.

Remember the way of truth and grace,
Grow your roots strong within this place.

In your heart lives the sacred space
Where love alone may leave its trace.

The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

I wrote this during the final year of 45's first term. May we shine so much love and truth into this world that nothing can stand against it.

When the clouds shine like a sea of gold,
I recall stories Grandmother told
Of a time to come when the world would shift,
And through great sorrow we would find our gifts.
And the rainbow warriors would awake
In those days of shadow and heartache.
They would discover the way to break
The illusion's spell of take, take, take.
They would lead us to a finer way;
From the noble road never to stray.
So beneath those golden clouds I pray
May that light dwell in me today.

I cut my teeth on mythology, reading Edith Hamilton in the fourth grade. As an English major, I walked with many characters as they descended into the Underworld. That's the part of the story we're living now, but that is never where it ends. Each of us will find the path out of the shadowlands.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
