A Sampling

 Thursday has noise, and much of it is Beautiful.

My son walks to commemorate his graduation from high school.

A milestone event in his life that he accomplished a year early!

Jack Be Nimble! Jack Be Quick!! 

Jack follows dreams- And the results- They stick!!!

I am blessed to no end with my glorious brood.

We have among our ranks - 4 Artists: who operate 

At Fine Artist levels........ Ode to Joy for me, as their Mother!

We have 2 future bilinguals in our midst; Japanese is their choice!

We have a singer/songwriter who plays guitar and piano....

And on evenings rare, I have been witness to the beauty of her

Spontaneous instrumental creations!

The scholar in our midst has a mind in overdrive

It is a wonder her head can contain all that transpires there.

Art, in so many forms, practiced; Spiritual practitioner

Stones; Tarot; Meditation; Writing; Digital; Tactile... 

It seems to name all, a mass conceit would exist

But No. This is simply a sampling of who we are.

Independent thinkers. The world needs them to exist, and,

They need them to be backed by Accountability; Responsibility;

Empathy; Understanding; Confidence; and Willingness to 

Stand Up For What is Right. 

If we have learned anything, it is that Freedom must be

Practiced and pursued and not practiced from a place

Of submission.
