Too true.  Well put in scary times.

BTW did you read my post entry about Lonesome Dove ?  I'd appreciate your opinion. I read it on your recommendation and loved it.  I deliberated whether to go back and read the prequels, but I decided to read the sequel first as my head is at that point of time now.

I find it amazing to think that I personally knew people who were alive in the 1880's (my great grandparents).  And All the Pretty Horses was set in the 1950's when I was born.  So these western novels don't seem so far away to me.

we're running on hate. 

Always been a fan of short poems - especially Tanks, Haiku and Cinquains. 

Love this one for it's impact - also it's brevity which magnifies it's power. 

I've also be a fan of yours HarryC for a long time now - great to read more.  

Hope you're keeping well. 

Best

Frances.

In a tumultuous week in an extended period of global turbulence that is unsettling for so many of us, sometimes it only takes a few words to capture the essence of what’s going on.

This is today's Facebook, X/Twitter and BlueSky Pick of the Day.

Congratulations. 

Congratulations, HarryC!
