I've been invited to a book swap on Friday and am supposed to bring a book for a "strong woman"; I've been thinking about Mary Oliver's poetry, because she does just this: grounds us in the moment, in the connections, in the observations of the now. Thank you for this.Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-63637877415946427232016-11-22T18:45:36.251-08:002016-11-22T18:45:36.251-08:00I love this.

My FIL and StepMIL went to Michigan for a weekend to visit family, and they said that they did not overhear ONE conversation about the election when they were out and about. Total silence on the topic. I don't know if that's good or not...But I did find it interesting and unexpected! we tend to always hear about the people who are losing their !@#$ and saying/doing things they will probably regret, but never the ones practicing restraint and decency.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-92136881906995944442016-11-22T14:10:27.906-08:002016-11-22T14:10:27.906-08:00Oh, the dog sounds amazing, and the kind people of...Oh, the dog sounds amazing, and the kind people offering seats and turkey lessons.
