" -interest in a single bluebird 

is worth more than a 

complete but dry list 

of the fauna and 

flora of a town."

              Henry David Thoreau

"The more I think about it, 

the more I realize that 

there is nothing more 

artistic than to 

love others."

       Vincent van Gogh

"Even in a time of 

elephantine vanity and greed, 

one never has to look far 

to see the campfires 

of gentle people."

listen to almost anything 

without losing your temper 

or your self confidence."

imagination, and the 

ability to face facts, 

even unpleasant ones."

At eventide

go inside and rest.

Restore your soul

as you repair

The World.

"The evil of the Day

is sufficient thereto."

But that day should contain

Clear Thought,

Action,

Kindness Above All.

Even to Yourself.

Call your elected servants.

Tell them what concerns you.

Visit, smile, bring donuts;

Be yourself. Calm down.

Make friends with the staff.

Be friendly and relaxed,

and have a sentence ready

that expresses your concern.

Don't linger too long.

But come back 

in 3 weeks.

Leave a brief,

clear action letter

for their boss.

[Here is my concern and

proposed actions I'd like 

to see happen.]

Don't be surprised

if you find yourself

sitting with your

Mayor, Congressman,

Representative,

and they ask for 

your view!

Email testimony about a 

statewide or local concern.

Share your opinion,

your values.

Find like-minded

citizen-friends.

Seek organizations

doing work you

believe in and 

get on their email.

Why not run

for the school board

or Town Council?

We retired folks have 

seen much come and  go.

Though we remain involved

it is everyone's duty now

to come to the aid

of What Is Right.

There is urgency, 

but no

Hurry & Worry.

We will pull through

Together.

We are happy warriors

making friends as we go!

So as evening rolls in,

even Winter's early eve,

rest, restore, and revel

in this moment!

I love each of You

who visit.

Thank You,

Your Friend,
