* Our state governor extended the stay-at-home order through May 31 to continue the social distancing strategy against the new coronavirus pandemic.
I salute him and his dedication to science and medicine.
"Empathy is our lifeline here. It’s what will get us to the other side. Let’s use it to redirect our attention toward what matters most, reconsider our priorities, and find ways to better remake the world in the image of our hopes."
—Michelle Obama, interview recently about Covid19
I cannot complain about quarantine or my inept attempts at folding paper and following youtube video instructions. We're still well, haven't lost everything, and even though things won’t return to the way they were, we'll find our way with the rest of you.
I hope you're all well, too. Perhaps trying new things if at home, too.
Empathie...die Bereitschaft und Fähigkeit, sich in die Einstellungen anderer Menschen einzufühlen...

April is National Poetry Month, a celebration of poets and poetry that's been in place for 25 years.
Last month, as the U.S. grieved over attacks against Asian Americans, NPR's Morning Edition collected poems on how people grapple with the increased violence and discrimination.
Over 500 listeners shared powerful, poignant poems — in the form of a list beginning with the word "today." They showcased fear, anger, empathy and motivation to make the world a better place.
NPR's resident poet Kwame Alexander took lines from the submissions to create a community poem, "Today, I Am A Witness To Change."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To quote just a few:
Today I hesitate
for the first time, I wonder if I should stay home and not walk the neighborhood.
it's not the weather or the virus — the day is beautiful
Today
I'm frozen
Terrified.
I cannot hide
This skin
This hair
These eyes.
I see the punch, punch, punch of a community at war.
Today I am a witness.
I rush past the jeering white boys that say I brought corona to America.
My soul is wary.
Today, a video call full of empty boxes
Stares at me, apprehensively.
Students locked behind a screen
Their hearts and minds
Severed
From one another.
Today, the headlines say March Madness
Today, I don't watch basketball.
The madness is in the streets.
In broad daylight.
On the concrete sidewalks of New York.
In the silence of bystanders.
It's in the textbooks. The classrooms. The family dinners. The lies we tell.
Today the rain falls
and falls
and falls
and falls.
a silent tear from a weeping woman.
Today, I will say their names
I will cancel class and try again tomorrow.
That's a scary thought to commute to NYC nowadays for me, even I'm FULLY inoculated. :-(((
♥ You don't teach morals and ethics and empathy and kindness in the schools. You teach that at home, and children learn by example !
Benji knows something is very wrong in this world.
Everyone - please stay safe and healthy.
Thank you for viewing, following, faveing and commenting on my images.

The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.

The blue jay is a bird symbolizing fidelity and agreement. These magnificent birds are closely associated with the values of loyalty, solidarity, and empathy.
If there is one thing we humans seem to always need more of, it's empathy. Showing kindness and tenderness to all living creatures in this world keeps us connected and makes this a better world and a life worth living.
In recent years, we have continued a dangerous trend as humans, replacing generosity with greed and human interactions with screens. What we've stopped doing is being careful with each other and with all of the living things around us and have slowly stopped noticing the beauty and wonder, too. Let's try to get back to that.

It was an absolute honor to see Jim Jarmusch this past Saturday…kind of a real pinch me is this real wait please stop pinching me it actually hurts kind of a feeling! I’ve been a fan of Jim Jarmusch since I could walk….no, perhaps that is an exaggeration but it’s at least been awhile. I am trying to think of the first film I actually saw by him and I think it was Coffee and Cigarettes. That was a film seen at just the right age where I had discovered coffee and longed for more philosophical conversations fueled by caffeine and thoughts. I thought the film clever but not too clever. More like the type of clever fitting for a film I’d actually want to be in myself-not to become famous but just to have a few good conversations. Dead Man was another film that made me realize the vital place of poetry, like that of William Blake, in this world. Years later, I would fall in love with Paterson and William Carlos Williams…the way the twins and switching of careers were made whimsical along with metaphorical plums. This is just to say that I have admired this human for a while. I have watched Mystery Train and loved the way every shot was framed with perfection. Night on Earth was a way to appreciate the moments that people never seem to account for and Ghost Dog was compelling in a way that nodded to pop culture but creating something all of its own. Even the spookier The Dead Don’t Die and Only Lovers Left Alive were genius films.
Jarmusch talked about his empathy for actors and how he didn’t want to put actors through the strenuous hardships that other directors do. He talked about being careful and particular about scenes but also imagining a human in a way that they might evolve into a character. He talked about meeting Jean-Luc Godard and talking about the difference between ice cream in Paris and in Italy. He talked about how Neil Young and he had agreed that the best day was a day without a plan. He mentioned that he enjoyed poetry but he thought the best advice about writing it was along the NY school line of thinking that you should write for a person in mind vs. the whole world. He talked about how he didn’t care for musicals outside of Busby Berkeley films and how the director of Nosferatu, F. W. Murnau, had written an essay for Colliers in the 1920s before talking films about how someday he envisioned that films would feature real people doing real things instead of just beautiful glamorous people. Jarmusch talked about how Robert Mitchum had a really vivid sense of humor. Jarmusch said he was an outlier in Hollywood because he had to have the final cut. He revealed his next to be released film will make Paterson feel like an action film. He said he wasn’t interested in owning a big house with a pool in Beverly Hills. When he was talking about Only Lovers Left Alive and Paterson, he said it was great when you found someone where even those boring moments were great.
Simply put, there is just no one this Earth quite like Jim Jarmusch….

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
Mother Teresa
It seemed appropriate to celebrate the Autumn season by collecting nature's treasures for a display. The centerpiece was originally intended to be a small bear, but was changed into a squirrel by the comments of a teacher.
My husband, the artist, was a child and said teacher told him he had not created a bear, but a squirrel. One must be aware of the power of words when assuming things, no matter the person's age.
“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.” —William James

Congratulations to Jacinda Ardern and the New Zealand Labour Party that was a very decisive win. Nice to think some countries can elect leaders with intelligence honesty and empathy. Makes a refreshing change from lazy narcissistic clowns who believe honesty is a sign of weakness
If you like Mute Swans get yourself to Abbotsbury they have rather a lot
Abbotsbury Swannery is the only managed colony of nesting mute swans in the world. It is situated near the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset, England, around the Fleet Lagoon. The Fleet, besides which the swannery sits, is the largest lagoon in Europe, and runs for about 8 miles along the Dorset coast. It is brackish and tidal, but sheltered by Chesil Beach, and is a RAMSAR site of international importance and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and has been a nature reserve since as early as 1393. The swannery is at its westerly extremity.
The colony can number over 600 swans with around 150 pairs. Written records of the swannery's existence go back to 1393 but it probably existed well before that, and is believed to have been set up by Benedictine monks in the eleventh century.
Today, there are around 600 swans. They are free-flying birds and could choose to nest anywhere, but are obviously attracted by the Fleet Lagoon. Visitors can wander on small paths among the various nests, sometimes experiencing the birds' territorial displays. The swannery is open to the public between March and the end of October,
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
In my fear of condemnation
I became silent in my pain
Perhaps this was why it was easier
To talk to the dead in the rain
No barrier to climb
No reason for judgement
Nothing left to gain
But sharing sorrows
And resentments
Revisiting old haunts and lost loves
Understanding yet again
It was safer in the darkness
Hiding away instead
Sharing this empathy
Quietly
With the dead
This piece of work starts off another series of images and poems that I have been working on based around a visit to Alfriston Church in Sussex, UK, and will be the start of another Album on Flickr, and no doubt some of these works will find their way onto my website.
If you have been following my work you will know that I often strike a melancholy note in my writing, however with this series of works from Alfriston they are of a much darker tone. When I visited this place with my camera I found it had a very unsettling atmosphere and if I am truthful I have to admit that I did not enjoy it very much. But out of this has come an opportunity to explore a different pathway that involved some interesting self-analysis.
