I can’t stop thinking about those victims in Miami. Can we spell INFRASTRUCTURE?!?!? This is why a federal government was invented to put controls over profit maximizing building and safety code bypasses. What is DeSantis doing? Wouldn’t you be there digging through the rubble with your bare hands? Why does this not look like 9/11 rescue efforts? My heart breaks for these families.
I am so inspired by this photo and it’s glorious message that I just sent it to my husbands older bro who is dying. I know it will lift him up. He is ready to go now. Just a matter of days. Thank you for this. Fills my heart too!
As helpfully peaceful as this image is, we must realize that each trap weighs quite a lot (one source I found indicates 40-65 pounds), so there's a lot of physical labor involved in just stacking and securing them in the boat let alone whatever it takes to lower them into the water and retrieve the lobsters and then restack the traps at workday's end. Thanks, as always, to Buddy for taking time to show us the beauty of his work environment.
When I was very young my father took me out early one morning. I knew it was a special day, but at my young age I understood very little of why any day would be so important that we would leave our warm beds before dawn. He took me by my hand, sleep still on me and we walked out to the edge of the field and waited for some time. He held me up in his arms and as the sun broke the horizon he simply asked me, "Do you see that?' I squinted as the rays broke thru the clouds on the edge of the horizon. "Yes daddy" I said. "That's Easter, that's Easter!" he said quietly. My father is many years gone now and from time to time when I've seen the sunrise I've puzzled about what exactly he meant. Now that I'm getting older myself I believe that was the point.
And the collapse of a pedestrian bridge in Baltimore Wednesday, with no serious injuries, but still a reminder that bridges can collapse on cars, with people in them.

Nice!
We, in the other Portland, are having a heat wave. 😓
Thank you—my kind of church☮️❤️
Thank you, Professor Richardson – we could use a little Divine intervention.
Have a restful Sunday.
Have a beautiful Sunday. Lay your cares of the world down for at least a few minutes and allow your spirit to rejoice.

Peace, love, compassion, kindness and intelligence common sense to all!
Enjoy this day. Rejoice and be glad in it.

Thank you for this beautiful photo and for a sense of peace.
Just to keep the political ball rolling (sorry)

I suspect that those caught in the collapse never knew what hit them, for which we must be very grateful (on their behalf).
Looks like church to me! Transcendentalist Church, of course!! :-)
Beautiful. Thank you! Maine is a special place.
Thanks to you and to Buddy. Have a lovely weekend.
