So there I was, arm hooked up to the machine, watching my plasma swirl away into a bag while the morning news dribbled across the screen like a bad fever dream. And what were they showing? A "riot" in Melbourne, allegedly. The sort of riot where the real thugs wear body armour, carry pepper spray and look like they just walked off the set of RoboCop. The people they were beating? A ragtag crew of teenagers and old hippies—probably fresh out of a drum circle, still smelling of patchouli. But sure, let's call it a riot. Now, here's where it really gets good. I mentioned this spectacle to a few people later, thinking maybe they'd share my outrage or, at the very least, give a damn. But no. What did I get instead? A smirk, a chuckle, and—oh, the pièce de résistance—"You should really just let it go." Let it go? Yeah, let me uncork a nice, overpriced cup of coffee, sit back with my legs crossed, and soak in the latest reality TV trash. Why bother caring when ...

It has not been a grind to photoblog on a daily basis--it has helped open my heart, get over my deep blue funk, and see that where I live is lovely enough, perhaps lovely enough for a lifetime, as is every place on this beautiful planet, our home.
But, you did leave off one greeting:
Namaste....The light in me salutes the light in you.
P.S. How DARE you comment without adding me to your list of favorite blogs!?!?!?
MERRY, MERRY!!!

Merry Christmas Kris & Jen and Henry & Ezra!
It's a chilly 75-degrees temperature in sunny Florida so NO snow in this part of the US.
Enjoy your holidays!!
