Monday Musings

He who shall not be named says, "There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame...

It occurs to me, and just about every sane person in the world, that the great anger is caused by he, himself, the great stoker of fake stories, lies and conspiracy theories; the bully who denigrates reporters, political opponents and anyone who does not lick his boots.

 

 

 

And the Fox News idiots who help him spread misinformation.  Funny, right?  The only news he doesn't say is fake is actually, in fact, fake.

 

It doesn't get much more surreal than that.

In other news, may I just report that this morning I am feeling better than I have in weeks?  Perhaps the new meds are responsible for that.  In any case, it feels grand to feel grand.   I'm going to be spending some time today assembling photo cards that I hope I can sell.  Some of my favorite images, and some very new, as in a week ago.

 

My photographs have been well received at the exhibit we are having at URC, with many people asking about purchasing as well as wanting to buy note cards with the images.  So, I thought I'd throw some together.  Steve's photos have also been well-received, and his theme for the four images, "A Celebration of Two" has caught peoples' imagination as well.  Seems a very good time to highlight the interconnection of human beings, as his work does.  

 

We had a fun group dinner after the reception, and some of us are going to solicit interest in starting a photography club.  It may interest some, so we'll see.  I'm a little on the fence because of the way I work.  I go through very active periods when I'm inspired, but I also take long breaks from making pictures.  I get visually burned out.  While I'm excited at the prospect of a group project, I know I may need to duck in and out.  

 

May you find some light and love this week, dear ones, while this madness burns around us.  Remember to look for the heroes, the helpers, the good ones among us.  They/we are here.
