Day comes to light as birds awaken the air inviting plants to respond to the coming of Spring.

Yesterday the neighbors below us celebrated their five year olds birthday with a pirate party.  In October, our grandson did the same.  I could hear parents discussing how we grew up to view pirates as evil, but today youngsters celebrate with  “Ho, Ho, Ho, I am a Pirate.”  Is it the character of Johnny Depp in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean that is so enchanting?

Anyway, there was lots of shrieking and running about and the sound of a pinata breaking.  

Music, like birds singing.

This morning I’m with the words of Lily Tomlin: The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.

I read that we shouldn’t mention this president by name, but hold the whole party accountable, so instead of saying his name, each time say the Republican party, and we’ll see what the midterms bring.

And live the words of Thich Nhat Hanh:

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
