A winter garden

A thing of quiet and rest

Dry leaves brittle now.

Reach across the porch

Velvet red blooms for fall nights

Contrast with gold trees.

Finn is cocoa brown

Against yellow and orange

Pasture is painting.

Short drive out of town

Pick your own pumpkin from field

We got a blue doll.

Young man lost his life

To violence….once again

In America.

No matter your political views I’m horrified that a young man of 31 was shot and killed today in Utah, America. I’m NOT proud to be an American! I’m so sad that our political views have led us so far away from peace and safety. American values? Gun control?

Come on people now get together and love one another.

I’m so important

Look! letters behind my name

And the crowd goes wild.

“Think of the word ‘depressed’ as ‘deep rest.’ Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character you’ve been trying to play.”

Jim Carrey
