666+112…in progress – Day XLIX

and a splint for my drawing-induced De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.

be the light


 

“Be the light in the darkness” is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27th, 2021

From the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust:

“Light a candle and safely put it in your window to remember those who were murdered for who they were; to stand against hatred and prejudice today.”

From Pope Francis:

“To remember is an expression of humanity. To remember is a sign of civility. To remember is a condition for a better future of peace and fraternity.”

Be the light in the darkness today.
 

“embraced, enriched, alive”


 

Thank you to whoever posted this beautiful poem in the Pacific Spirit Park today.
 
  
 

“the bending rays of occasional winter sun”

a celebration for the ages


 
Love shining through at the end of this day of days. The world is suddenly a safer place for our children and grandchildren and that’s something to truly celebrate.💕

God speed

On the occasion of the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris, with the inspiring and moving words of both the 46th President and the first youth poet laureate of America, Amanda Gorman, still resonating in my mind:
 

 

Congratulations America. Welcome back.
 

 

I hope you know how much you’ve been missed.
 

 

Happily all’s well with the world today.
 

 

Good luck and God speed.

MLK day


 
A beautiful morning in the Pacific Spirit Park on this most inspiring of days. Thinking of family and friends down south who are honoring the memory and legacy of Martin Luther King today. I hope his words of love and grace will lead towards justice and peace in the challenging days ahead.
 

home stretch


 
666+80…entering the home stretch, with the hope that home is coming soon for the children so cruelly separated from their parents at the US border by the criminal administration that in three days will be relegated to the dustbin of history.
 
How reassuring to learn from the interview between Jacob Soboroff and Alicia Menendez on MSNBC in which Ron Klain the Chief of Staff to President-elect Biden states that in the first 10 days he will…
 
“…fulfill his promises to restore dignity to our immigration system and our border policies, and start the difficult but critical work of reuniting families separated at the border.”
 
Watch the interview at @jacobsoboroff and make sure to read his book “Separated.”

#familiesbelongtogether

rays of hope


 
Two moments from the past week in the Pacific Spirit Park. In these dark days a little light peeking through lifts us all up and gives us hope, something I think you’ll agree we all need at the moment.
