In response to "Objects Prompt"

I love the imagery, Joy. I only have one thought on the last line.

bathed in your warm hue, my world keeps its silence.

bathed in your warm hue, my world embraces its silence.

I think embraces stays with the intimacy more than keeps it.

Yes, I agree, Joy. I think we need to be vigilant all the time and not just with one group, but all. Well said.

In response to "On Negativity"

Negativity sometimes is a helpful learning tool as well as positivity. Until people feel the results they won't change for the better, unfortunately. I've seen how destructive negativity can be but I've also seen people who have never experienced bad things and in their well meaning positivity are oblivious and make no effort to help the changes needed.

and StephBee

Thank you both for responding.

Yes, I can certainly understand the difficulty of patience. Patience, however, doesn't mean sitting down and taking just about anything with a smile. Surely, we all need to be on the alert, not just with some groups or people but with all of them.

As to the Nazi thing, I don't know as much as you do, Steph, and especially through experience, but I've been to Germany and one of my cousins was married to a German who seriously hated the Nazis. I cannot even look at the photos of the camps and whatever else rotten the Nazis did. I'm chicken that way. The problem was, in the beginning, the German people liked the party only because, of the other existing parties, it was in the middle. Then, after they became popular, the Nazis showed their colors. That's why I think we need to be vigilant all the time, not with one group but with all of them.

In response to "Patience"

Joy, I don't know if my comment is a side note or related, but I do like your message of patience. Being a Gemini, patience can be extremely challenging to me. Sigh...

Being stationed in Germany in the late 80's early 90's was a semi-sobering experience. Heck, the kaserne where the hubby was stationed on in Bad Hersfeld, had semi-scrubbed off nazi markings on it. The major building was called McPheeters Barracks and if you research on the web a bit, you'll find photos of it during the Nazi days. I got to know several German nationals, all of them sweet, but the majority of them, grandchildren of nazis, still sporting hurts and embarrassment about the war. We learned about the build up of the Nazi party starting in the late 1920's through the 30's etc and there's a process to it. From name calling, to vandalism, to dehumanization to violence. Years later when I would have to visit the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles for training for my job, I was reminded of all that.

What am I trying to say? When you call someone a Nazi you dehumanize them. I'm not into that. I try to exercise patience and compassion and empathy. It's not easy because you have to find a balance between that patience/compassion, and sticking up for yourself and your beliefs, too. I hope I made sense.

In response to "Patience"

I'd like to strangle Patience. Me? I've made the decision to travel for 2-3 months. By February the political situation in the USA should be clearer. I leave because my nerves can't take drama and the bullseye on my back. We shall see.

Oh, thank you for the emotional video clip. I’d forgotten what a beautiful movie, Forrest Gump was .

In response to " "Is he... smart?""

I didn't recognize the movie from what you wrote but as soon as I looked at the clip, I remembered how heart wrenching that scene was. Tom Hanks did such an amazing job as Forrest.
