Timely words from this week's desk calendar

There comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground.
A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other.

Insights from How to Kill a Witch that still apply today

When the going gets tough in any society, it is the vulnerable that are accused of causing the damage, as an easy target to avoid dealing with the greater problems of inequality.

Rainbow in the sky over storm clouds with the tops of trees showing

After the rain comes the rainbow, a hopeful message from nature during challenge times.
The rainbows never photograph with all of their bright colors.

Poppies 😊

Nemophila menziesii or baby blue eyes, a blue five petal wildflower with white center California wildflowers

Ranunculus californicus, California buttercup yellow wildflower

California wildflower, Shooting Star, also called mosquito bills or broad-leaved shooting star. Possibly Primula jeffreyi

First wildflowers found on the first day of spring, but posted a little later. Definitely a mood boost.

Pink tulip with raindrops

A rainy Monday, so a bit blue, but one of the tulips🌷is popping up.
Signs of spring, hope, healing and rebirth.

Sun breaking through the storm clouds with patches of blue sky

Sun trying to break through the storm clouds. Patches of blue sky and sun today during an otherwise stormy day.
I always feel more optimistic on the days when I can see the sun and the blue sky, even just small patches.

Upside-down American flag, a universal sign of distress, in front of a window for the Yosemite National Park support our parks March.

From the Yosemite National Park support the park, the rest of the National Parks, and the fired employees March 1, 2025.
An upsidedown flag that I crafted two dozen to pass out to others.

Stunning 🌄

Grape hyacinth, ornamental pear blossoms, pink rose and fern fronds in a small bud vase

Sharing the bit of spring flowers that brought inside to brighten up the windowsill.
I'm needing more positive signs of spring and hope lately.

I'm following #bloomscrolling, several knitting and photography feeds so I can switch over when I've had enough of #doomscrolling (which is a much shorter time interval these days).
These feed my #hopequesting looking for "tiny pieces of joy" where people are sharing art, crafts and good news.

Some of the crowd at the Yosemite National Park March 1 protest. Sign saying "Support our parks not oligarchs." Also an upsidedown American flag, a universal sign of distress.

Some of the crowd including two parents pushing strollers at the Yosemite National Park March 1 protest with upper Yosemite falls in the background. "Support our parks not the oligarchs" and upsidedown American flag.

Some of the crowd at the Yosemite National Park March 1 protest. One of my favorite signs carried by a young teen, "I speak for the trees," a reminder from the Lorax. Another saying "Get the billionaire hands off our public lands "

Some of the crowd with their signs at the Yosemite National Park March 1 protest. Signs saying "Save our parks" "Resist" "I ❤️ NPS"

Highlights from the Yosemite National Park March 1 protest. A good turnout of peaceful protesters from babies to seniors. We attended for ourselves and our daughters who couldn't make it.
Democracy at work.
My favorite chant, "Elon Musk has got to go."
