Is there any Remover of Difficulty save God? Say: Praised be God! He is God!
All are his servants and abide by His bidding.

MY THOUGHTS

This two meter moment: Me ... You ... and too much space between Us.

WEATHER

9°. 1 p.m. in Missoula
18°. 3 a.m. in Tainan
9°. 9 p.m. in Prishtina, Kosovo
31°. 1 p.m. in Jaco, Costa Rica. Steamy on the beach.

IMAGES

Saw one person with a mask. None at Mobash the local skate park. Various dogs. Crows perched in snags. Snirt along the river. Reflections of clouds in the rippling canal. Bit of a breeze. Daffs in bloom. Runners.

POULTRY

Our Beloved Country

we suffer
the old the young
those who have hurt others
their wounded victims

when will we forgive
                                       their sins
                                       our sins

how soon will what drives us apart
bring us together in the end

         the father of the murdered son
         the father of the killer

                   meet in grief

if they can forgive ...

when will we ask for forgiveness
when will we embrace

Nope.

MY LIFE

I should suspend this scategory until I get one. Still asleep in my cave. However, I did speak with Jacob todays and he explained that in Irish one "wears" one's emotions and there's less need to hide them.

Ran into Robin patiently waiting for the ospreys by their nest. Saw Kat's mother running. Everyone's fine, including their cherry trees.

SENIOR CENTER and COFFEEHOUSE

Bought three day-old muffins at Bernice's. Reheated them at home with butter.

O PINIONS!

Oh ... yeah, time to rant? No just the sadness of losing young people wondering who I'll lose. If they smoke or vape? They are putting themselves in danger. Those with hyper-vigilant immune systems also seem at greater risk.

But here's my reaction to my friend Parris on spacebook re connection between 5G and this particular coronavirus: "Does 5G only affect old people with heart-issues, lung-issues or fried brains from too many drugs or young vapers who have compromised their lungs? I don't buy conspiracy theories until there is some rational proof. The thing with irrational reactions to conspiracies? They kill people."

WATT'S GNUS

The Queen has shown us how a true leader serves:



BLOGVILLE

I responded to SB Musing : "I do not have a Monday syndrome. Too many years not having a working schedule will do that. Also, it's an American thing. Not everywhere in the world shuts down on Sundays like much of the Americas do.

I don't watch movies with other people. Fortunately I'm not doing the challenge this month! This is the kind of prompt Family Movie Night! Pick two movies your family and close friends can come over and watch. that works for most of Mid America ... and leaves me gasping for air."
