“I said to myself, ‘I have thoughts in my mind that are unlike anything anyone has taught me—shapes and ideas close to me—so intrinsic to my way of being and thinking that it hasn’t occurred to me to express them.’ I decided to start fresh and strip away what I had been taught.”
— Georgia O’Keeffe.
This flower show is dedicated to those too anxious or confused to skip watching or listening to the news. I didn’t watch or listen to the news today; the flowers were much better for me.
This is my news, and I recommend it to those who want to wash themselves free of anger and cruelty.
I don’t want to choke to death on someone else’s bullshit. The news I did see was heartbreaking
The flowers are free, easy, quiet, and far from politics, judgment, bombast, or anger. They are perfect for my news, and I hope they will be good for you.
Thank you for the flowers today, Jon, they are soothing and uplifting.
Thanks, Laura, they do have that effect…hang in there…:)
thank you for the lovely photos of your day……and your flowers as always- lift my spirits. I was neither anxious nor confused today…….but chose to spend my day not watching or listening to news and everyone else’s sorrows and laments…….but to reflect and embrace my own life challenges…..and to fill my day with things most positive that I could.

Thank you for the beautiful flowers. They bring peace and light.
I didn’t watch the news or talk about it.👏
Flowers are so calming Good way to end the night for such a day as this.
Thank you Jon. I chose to stay away from any news today, as I mostly have since the election. I agree these flower photos are so soothing and are helping me through the tears Blessings to you and Maria
Those flowers and quote from Georgia O’keefe are all the news I needed.
Thank you so much, Jon. I did not watch today’s news either. I thought I would instead get some exercise and read. It felt great.
All good thoughts and the whitest light to you.
