Thank you for your wonderful Ideas, it was difficult to choose!
THE WINNING IDEA
I chose Bill’s idea-the life cycle of a butterfly- because it mirrors where we are right now. We are in a cocoon phase, transforming our lives in preparation for a new life, a new world, that awaits us when things are safe. The wonder and magic of the transformation is coupled with fear and challenges, but the possibilities for a better life, a better world, are endless!
The Ideas
The imagery of a storm from the beginning raindrops to the fierceness of the storm followed by calm or if corny a rainbow
Regrets–what one feels/experiences when reading a book – the ideas, the imagery or an actual book e.g all the light we cannot see – rather fierce though
The country now, Fractured
The poem In Just by E.E.Cummings
What about two sides the yeas & the nays who are fighting? And an old wise woman (witch?) comes between them & sets them on a task that weaves them together into a common thread!
What about the life cycle of a butterfly? Egg turns into worm eating leaves , goes up stick a spins cocoon. Hangs there with a “metamorphosis “ into butterfly that comes out. Blows up wings & ready to fly to flowers
Making pots–taking the clay from raw state to the end and in between—shaping them by hand ,glazing them. They are like children each with different personalities—especially my birdhouses kids call fairy houses—all in the eye of the beholder.
Our service dog has just been diagnosed with Cancer and is now receiving chemo….. She is a marvelous sensitive animal and we are doing our best to give her a joyful happy life for as long as we can.
The avarice and cowardice of the part of the republicans in the senate who do not honor their oath and sell out the country in the process… led by McConnell. Having said this maybe they will come thru and dump trump this time around?
The importance of relationships and how one hand must wash the other—-you must reach out and give in this world. We have done this in the condo but community people seem to think it very out of the norm and unusual….that we are super friendly and extend ourselves beyond. To me it is normal. Diff btwn midwest and New England? Not too long ago a friend of ours was in the hospital. She is single and older and has no family in the area. We took her in after she left the hospital for a week to recover. Our service dog was her nurse for the week. She stayed by her side the entire time.

In just Spring
When the world is mud
Luscious the little Lame balloon man
Whistles far and wee and
Eddie and Bill come
Running from marbles and piracies
It’s Spring When the world is puddle Wonderful and queer
Old balloon man whistles
Far and wee and Betty and Disbel come dancing
From hopscotch and jump rope it’s Spring and the goat footed balloon man whistles Far and wee
