I will not be silent. I will not be complacent. I will speak out. I will protest. I will amplify voices. I will work to learn, grow, repair and do better. I will support organizations like Chicago Freedom School chicagofreedomschool.org , Chicago Community Bond Fund chicagobond.org and Black Lives Matter Chicago blacklivesmatterchicago.org
A starry night and the milky way at Carvers Gap, North Carolina / Tennessee border looking toward North Carolina.
We spoke out. We marched at a time when we didn’t know if it would kill us and it was all because we couldn’t imagine that we could continue to live in a world so cruel as to not see the value in Black joy, talent, ideas, sorrow, stories, traditions, and identities. And, in most cities across America, budgets have not significantly changed to put more money into communities instead of policing. The only tool a cop has is a gun and the badge is his/her/their get out of jail free card. Why do we expect anything different to happen in America if we pour more money into police budgets and reforms that clearly don’t work instead of putting money into public education, job opportunities, the elimination of food deserts, equitable housing and health care, and mental health clinics? Do we really want to be a country where only rich white people survive?
Black Lives Still Matter…they still matter to me every day.
In my own city, our mayor lied about not being aware of a wrongful raid of a social worker in which her home was violated and she was naked. (Anjanette Young). Apparently, this is a pretty regular occurrence:

Here’s a list of men who are Black recently murdered by police in America:

Here’s how Wall Street profits from police brutality and America’s violent yet lucrative (for some) tradition of white supremacy:

Every day we don’t demand change is a day wasted when we were not our best selves. Humans are still dying out there and we need to vote out those who only protect some of the population and leave the rest to be murdered. So, Trump will soon be gone…will Biden be any better? We must insist that it is so! Humans who are Black are not suddenly white and they still need kindness, protection, love, and policies that look out for them.

A single exposure reflection which is best seen large.
I recently took this image in the centre of an English city and it is a scene which touched my heart and made me wonder what is their story.
Thank you for your faves and taking your time to comment .
We were driving by this fenced construction area when I saw the sign and grabbed the shot!
Happy Fence Friday!
My niece Keerti, pumping out the tunes on an electric guitar.
Update: Keerti has taken to the guitar like a duck to water. So we have given it to her.
It is so painful to see in news protesters clashing with police and causing some sorts of the troubles. This is not what I have seen when I joined them yesterday at the USA Embassy in London. It was most well organised I possible even seen, so peaceful and friendly. Several times I have been offered face mask and water. There were only good vibes of a united community. Not sure why someone decided to go to Whitehall and clash with police. From the other hand – no rights were won without breaking the law – this is the world we all live, unfortunately.

With just a word; even a glance or simple touch...the stresses of the day just melt away and all that matters anymore...is him.

Yesterday was my birthday, some might say a milestone one but to me, age is just a number and what really matters is how young you feel, how many memories you fit into each day and how much good you can put into the world.
Thank you all for helping make this last year one of the best ever.
I walk through this door often... great service, selection and prices; three generations of management with 50+ years experience of doing things right.

Take me somewhere that matters. Part of the Flickr Collaboration group for 'Who I am'
I had already took a photo with the same title Here , so it took me a while to come up with something fresh for the group.
I feel that seeking life experiences with friends and opening your eyes to the rest of the world will help make clear who I really am.

My picture above is showing that tears are coming from an eye and spreading in space, crying from being alone.
Space, containing matters, didn’t start and will not end at all, existing always and endless. Space has our universe which has a lot of galaxies. Space might have a lot of universes. Our universe is expanding for now, but it would contract and die in a big crunch, like the Big Bang played in reverse.
If universes begin and die over and over again, like inflating and deflating balloons over and over again, space will have matters ( stars, galaxies and universes) just in certain areas of space. What escapes from a universe is light. Light can advance in to the rest of the space and can live billions of years. Light is made of particles called photons, bundles of the electromagnetic field that carry a specific amount of energy. Photons have no rest mass and they do not occupy any volume.
Speculation:
Light is pure energy, not matter, but matter could be created out of photons. Light might start a new universe in different part of space.
Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation states that energy and matter (or mass) are interchangeable. Photons from different universes might collide with each other and create matters.
