Some cry
Some moan
Some bring forth the agonized ululation of ages
Songs of mourning
How shall we express our grief this day?
The heart still beats; life support lingers us on
No death, not yet
But the scent of death
Acrid, stale
A slow, unending vigil at
the deathbed of liberty

Roger Green asked how I am doing. This pretty much says it all. My first post since 45 was inaugurated. We have many names for him, but calling names only cheapens the chilling effect. There is nothing normal, nothing remotely funny about this travesty that is the Trump White House.
ABC Wednesday gave us the letter U. Other words that come to mind: United States and Ugly.
Peace, Amy

To think of death leads one to think of what needs to be done henceforth. It will make one review various options including changes for the better. Positive thinking will lead to good decision-making to enhance the immediate needs.
How have you been Amelita? Extremely great to have you back!

I had a feeling the reason why you were not posting anything was due to the unsettling political arena but I am happy to see you here. I have missed your cutting edge sarcasm my friend. I do hope you are well.

Su-sieee! Mac
I have to believe that we will get through this current state of ours. Darkness cannot reign. At least not in my life. Best wishes to you.
