I just thought I'd try the "record video comment" link. Hadn't tried it in awhile, and it used to not work. It works!
It was actually very easy to video blog and publish it.

Very nice. Now I know how to pronounce your name too. I thought it was "cowboy-knee-oc"!

It actually stands for "cowboy - northeastern - oklahoma"
Not necessarily because I'm always wearing western clothes, but my family does have a horse / cattle / sheep ranch.

I know! Its very cool. I don't know why I tried the link this morning. Maybe it was a G-d thing because we are all going to be marching today, and I SO want our community to use the tenets of Martin Luther King and Ghandi to non-violently resist these hateful amendments. YES WE CAN!

Yes we can!! The protest in NYC Wednesday was angry yet 100% non-violent. I'm expecting the same today, but on a larger scale. Seems like there have only been a few isolated events associated with all of the protests the last 10 days, which makes me proud.

This is definitely a movement that benefits from those important lessons we learned from Martin Luther King and Ghandi. Thank G-d they paved our way for us.

The LA fires sound frightening...the Santa Anas are described as "hurricane force" and it will be 92 degrees there, 20 degrees over normal. Fire officials are worried about saving lives, since this is a very fast moving fire--get out before you even see it, might be too late by that time.

Love Should Grow Up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields
Love should grow up like a wild iris in the fields, unexpected, after a terrible storm, opening a purple mouth to the rain, with not a thought to the future, ignorant of the grass and the graveyard of leaves around, forgetting its own beginning. Love should grow like a wild iris but does not.
Love more often is to be found in kitchens at the dinner hour, tired out and hungry, lingers over tables in houses where the walls record movements, while the cook is probably angry, and the ingredients of the meal are budgeted, while a child cries feed me now and her mother not quite hysterical says over and over, wait just a bit, just a bit, love should grow up in the fields like a wild iris but never does really startle anyone, was to be expected, was to be predicted, is almost absurd, goes on from day to day, not quite blindly, gets taken to the cleaners every fall, sings old songs over and over, and falls on the same piece of rug that never gets tacked down, gives up, wants to hide, is not brave, knows too much, is not like an iris growing wild but more like staring into space in the street not quite sure which door it was, annoyed about the sidewalk being slippery, trying all the doors, thinking if love wished the world to be well, it would be well.
Love should grow up like a wild iris, but doesn't, it comes from the midst of everything else, sees like the iris of an eye, when the light is right, feels in blindness and when there is nothing else is tender, blinks, and opens face up to the skies. ~ Susan Griffin ~
our love is springing up in the ordinary work we do today.......

My spouse and I have moved to a Quaker retirement center in Santa Rosa, CA, and now we are unpacking and unpacking and unpacking and ,,,
This branch of Quakers doesn't care who you are and all we have met have congratulated us on our recent marriage. The hospitality committee brought us a loaf of nut bread and our nearest neighbor brought us flowers. Others have stopped by to say hi. It is a real community, full of loving people who spend their days doing good for county and Santa Rosa residents and having fun. For instance, they have an active committee who raise funds for the homeless. They also have a Peace and Justice group, and the local politicians make stops here where they can speak to 100 voters in the library. All here are leftists---not a Republican in the group.
We're too exhausted by the move to join in the protest marches and gatherings, but we are sending loving thoughts and cheering on our younger friends who are raising peaceful hell.
I don't have my speakers hooked up to my computer yet, so I have seen but not heard Cowboy's video this morning, but I am looking forward to it.

Love Should Grow Up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields
Love should grow up like a wild iris in the fields,
unexpected, after a terrible storm, opening a purple
mouth to the rain, with not a thought to the future,
ignorant of the grass and the graveyard of leaves
around, forgetting its own beginning.
Love should grow like a wild iris
but does not.
Love more often is to be found in kitchens at the dinner hour,
tired out and hungry, lingers over tables in houses where
the walls record movements, while the cook is probably angry,
and the ingredients of the meal are budgeted, while
a child cries feed me now and her mother not quite
hysterical says over and over, wait just a bit, just a bit,
love should grow up in the fields like a wild iris
but never does
really startle anyone, was to be expected, was to be
predicted, is almost absurd, goes on from day to day, not quite
blindly, gets taken to the cleaners every fall, sings old
songs over and over, and falls on the same piece of rug that
never gets tacked down, gives up, wants to hide, is not
brave, knows too much, is not like an
iris growing wild but more like
staring into space
in the street
not quite sure
which door it was, annoyed about the sidewalk being
slippery, trying all the doors, thinking
if love wished the world to be well, it would be well.
Love should
grow up like a wild iris, but doesn't, it comes from
the midst of everything else, sees like the iris
of an eye, when the light is right,
feels in blindness and when there is nothing else is
tender, blinks, and opens
