Good morning, friends. When life feels overwhelming, joy can seem like a distant luxuryβ€”but it’s often closer than we think. Even in the midst of chaos, small moments of peace and connection can quietly illuminate the path forward. #Jaye’sMorningLight

I was wondering whether you'd published a journal?

I would love to hear about some of your encounters

I can picture this ... feel the morning chill, hear the russle of the leaves ...

β€œThe truth is that there are moments in history, moments like the one we are living through, where everything that keeps man from despairing, everything that allows him to believe and to go on living, needs a hiding place, a refuge like a song, apoem, some music, or a book.

And he wants to go to heaven too ...

I had hoped that awareness of his own mortality may curb his baser instincts, but it would appear that wasn't the case ...

somewhere
in the body
something stirs
tongue of silence
before thought

valleys
abysses

roses amid strife

discord gathering
toward #harmony

the past stays with us
the future
takes its time

so close to grasp
so far from arrival

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

Definitely envious.

You must have met a lot of interesting people along the way ...

Your description made me smile

I've just been trying to get my dog to stop opening kitchen drawers despite the bungy cords and poles I've used

He's very smart and thinks that I set up these puzzles for him to solve

He's calmer than he was so there's a good chance that we'll both survive! 🀞

Which totally explains why Australia has received requests to help defend Gulf States who are being directly impacted by the war!

That's understandable. Have you taken photos of the same place over the years? And in different seasons?

You often use the word beautiful to describe the scenery I must admit that I think that it is beautiful too I love the colours

Do you mainly take photos of scenery?

I appreciate the comment, but my dog Frankie was really unsettled last night. As a result though, I should sleep soundly tonight!

Two English Oak trees on a village green with yellow Daffodil flowers at their feet. In between, a circle of the flowers has been planted around the pole carrying a village sign, which is hidden by growth from a bush standing by a bus shelter. The tree in the foreground, left, has a thick trunk and sturdy branches that reach out horizontally to the right across the frame while the one on the right is only partly seen.
 The sky is grey, seen through the still bare branches of the trees.

There ought to be poetry with this but I’m just a prosaic yokel.

Thanks Greg, I was just thinking about posting that I'd seen some clouds today ... including some with a grey tinge to them!

It must sound weird to you, but the lady at the bakery said that she'd been watching the clouds too

I hope that you slept well last night?

How governments are responding as the Middle East conflict shakes markets Governments around the world are assessing options for minimising the economic impact the War in the Middle East may have on their respective economies.

I question the way that democracies work when Donald Trump can cause such pain, suffering & chaos internationally because politicians in his own country refuse to take a stance

Shame on them!

For comparison purposes note that one USA Gallon is 3.785 litres

Also the fuel cost is in AUD. Currently 1 AUD is 0.71 USD
