I capped the day with a prayer for Joe Biden, whether I like him or not, whether I vote for him or not. He is my President, and I respect that, and it pains me to see him or anyone suffer this way. I wish him peace and strength over the next few days. The prophets have been stirring. It had to happen.
Hating and ridiculing our political opponents or people who disagree with us has become almost a reflex. It turns my stomach, and it is poison. I want the people around our president who love him to gather quickly, give him dignity, and gently spare him more suffering in full view of the world.
I won’t join the hate and rage parade.
I hate to see people pecked to death rather than quietly and privately face the reality of life. I wish for grace. I am enough said. I’ve joined the Compassion Revolution; we do good and vote for humanity, not cruelty. We seek to do good for fellow humans and improve their lives in small ways. I am signing off tonight in sorrow.
I look forward to seeing you in the morning.

The reason Biden is being pecked to death is because he will not face reality, is digging in his heels to stay when it is impossible for him to serve another four years. To even run for reelection was absurd. was lucky to get thru one term. Another stubborn old man who refuses to face the truth! a lot of that going around! they want him to come to the decision to step down on his own and not embarrass him with the 25th amendment, but looks like that will never happen.
I can never get enough of these photos. Although I garden , today I feel like I’ve never seen these plants before. It’s a totally new and beautiful look into their kingdom.
Regarding the President, last night it seemed to me , when he was repeatedly asked about his current and future abilities, that he spoke not so much from ego but almost a desperation as he sees the chance to finish his plans slipping away. Without getting into my own leanings through all this, I felt so sad for him. No elder should have to be as brow beaten as he is, although it can be argued he put himself in that position. If ghosts persist in locations where they have unfinished business, this is what it looks like in the flesh. I pray he can find some peace in leaving, and that there’s a solution we can have confidence in. My heart goes out to him regardless.
I think the thing that works for me here, Diane, is that I’m not a gardener, I’m a photographer so I look at them differently I think than gardeners..
Thank you for reminding us that the lovely, wise, mature response when we witness suffering is simply compassion. Horrible things will happen, people will behave badly and I can remember to join the Compassion Revolution. I can opt out of the hate and rage parade. What a relief. My actions in the world will reflect the orientation of my spirit.
What a weighty message in hysterical times.
You are very welcome, Annie..
