A instant of welcome calm, an eastern tiger swallowtail, a manly someone I think, a mutual butterfly alongside wide habitat across America from the Atlantic to the Great Plains. This handsome fella is feeding on royal blazing star (also called liatris) inward a meadow inward the northern edges of the Missouri Ozarks.

What is it that makes thus many of us thus hateful too selfish too outright bullies? What makes us convey too fifty-fifty applaud character assassination, stifled science too thus so much more.
Every solar daytime feels similar a firehose of insidious novel too expanding threat. My long-time Canadian friend wrote this week, "You can't fifty-fifty escape to Canada anymore" because, you lot know, the border is closed (and should be).
And yet ... battered butterflies hold to wing too allow us never forget that Black people receive got fought oppression too discrimination for centuries.

Never, always hold out afraid to brand some dissonance too brand it proficient trouble, necessary trouble. We volition discovery a means to brand a means out of no way."
Life, it's a long game, God willing.
