"Paradoxically, however, Trump’s reckless venality is a reason for hope. Trump has the soul of a fascist but the mind of a disordered child. He will likely be surrounded by terrible but incompetent people. All of them can be beaten: in court, in Congress, in statehouses around the nation, and in the public arena. America is a federal republic, and the states—at least those in the union that will still care about democracy—have ways to protect their citizens from a rogue president. Nothing is inevitable, and democracy will not fall overnight," writes Tom Nichols.

I grew up in New Jersey USA. We experienced all four seasons there and had relatively spectacular autumn foliage. I experienced that until my late 50s. Then we moved to Florida USA and there are three seasons, Hot as Hell, Hot, and Snowbird. So for 11 years we didn't see autumn foliage. This year we are watching the trees turn all their autumn glory. It is like being a kid again. My wife and I were out yesterday and kept pointing out colorful trees.

Any Way the Wind Blows

A child like figure in water / mist apparently unconcerned and removed from the world. As the lyrics say : "Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me"

From the beginning of his novitiate, he applied himself to the exercises of religious life with great fervor. He had singular affection for the Blessed Virgin Mary and was especially devoted to her. He had a filial trust in her protection. She was his refuge in all the problems of his life, in the troubles and anxieties that disturbed his soul, and therefore he would call her “his good mother.”

Just a quick look at these & my inner child is handing out Valentine's to my classmates. I'm in the joy of this special day when everyone smiles more, shares chocolate, & gives kisses. Memories of love, simple & sweet, childlike, innocent, pure. May all the love coming your way be filled with all of that & your heart be whole & happy.

Funny how we try to pretend the inevitable won't be happening. The child in us is fearless. The adult seems to be the one forgetting how change can also be magical.

The world is full of magic if you have the right eyes

------------

This is one of my favorites pictures I've made, if not my favourite. The idea of exploring the world on your own pace, when you find something unusual, something that appears magical, out of this world, but it is subtle and still... special and mesmerizing... I need to thank https://twitter.com/CrinkleRed for commissioning this piece, I really really liked working on it.

her regal bearing
yet with each step intention

Doesn't have to be men's sizes, there are big women as well.

Moreover, I sometimes look at a size chart on #amazon and think, WTH why are these clothes all so small?! I'm no #Asian woman with a #childlike size - I have a lot of female molecules on me! That volume has to be wrapped accordingly.

Halloween reminds us all of the joy & possibility that abounds every day when we are little before we are told it can't be so. Every lit porch has the potential of chocolate!

Watching Tanked on TV about a company that makes crazy high end aquariums for people

Absolutely amazing to watch the richest men, the toughest rappers, melt into excited little kids when meeting their fish, wanting to know all about them, reveling in new knowledge

Gives me such hope in humankind

I am a bit child like in some ways of thinking. In my day to day travels I choose to believe that most people are ok, are kind and courtious mostly.
Boy, do I hate to be reminded of my thinking errors.
