one day...

peace

will break out

all around

the

world

mercury...

mittens for everyone

scarves for everyone

toques for everyone

wool socks for everyone 

safe and warm spaces and places

for

every

one

Malvaceae

 

taking flight

Flaco the owl

is on the lam

having escaped from an enclosure

at the NYC zoo...

now hanging in Central Park

and apparently tapping into

hunting instincts

...

some green space

in the middle 

of Manhattan

where 

the wild things

are

   

 

be mine...

 

Cyanocitta cristata

and then a jay

flits by

with its distinct call

and beautiful markings

vibrant blue splashes

on an otherwise

grey

day

today's hope...

for

healing wings

wrapping all around

embracing

everyone

everywhere

the 1st of the 2nd

and everything is

white

white

white

~

gently falling

on 

boughs

fences

plant pots

bird houses

~

white

white
