Night Flower
Yesterday was incredible! It felt like Spring. It was almost 60ยบ and sunny! It looked like it might rain in the morning, there were some dark and low clouds over the Black Hills. But as the day went on, it just got sunnier and warmer, and more calm. It was beautiful.

Please Do Not Attack Iran
The only reasonable justification for violent conflict is in the presence of an imminent threat to life and limb. War can only be justified as a means for self-defense. Violent aggressive attacks are not legally permissible - nor are violent aggressive attacks morally acceptable.
Let us look forward to many tomorrow's without the threat of violence. Let us envision a world without political-military-economic aggression. A better world is possible. A better world awaits...

Purple Flower Close-up
Hello, I hope that you're doing well. This is a flower I found in the Capitol Campus Conservatory, at the Washington State Capitol Campus in Olympia. It's a good place to visit if you have the time when you're in the area.
Truth and Justice Will Prevail
I've been thinking about all of the horrible things happening in the world recently. The Bush Administration's trampling of civil liberties and human rights. The demonization of certain ethnic populations, the name-calling - labeling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as 'terroristic.' It's down-right scary and disturbing.
And on top of all the oppressive political violence you can add the environmental problems we face. And the American Media just doesn't want to give it the time of day. Predictions are for a significant rise in sea-level over the next 100 years. Many species are suffering declines in population. More and more species go extinct every day. Humanity is tossing the natural environment out of balance. And the consequences could be quite severe. One bright side to this phenomenon is that our own actions will likely result in the limitation of future success - as the natural environment, upon which humanity depends, systematically becomes less and less able to accommodate humanity's wants and needs...
But, I think that ultimately, truth and justice and peace, and what is good will prevail.
Let's go forward into tomorrow and all tomorrow's with inspiration in our hearts, as well as inspiration to share with others, to keep fighting the good fight - to keep the goal of a better world, of better selves, better families, better neighborhoods, better relationships...alive and high in our hearts.

Orange Orchid
I had a good time taking pictures at the Capitol Campus Conservatory, here in Olympia Washington. It's a greenhouse, and it has some amazing and beautiful plants. I posted a few of the pictures that I took on my flickr account.
May You Have True Peace
In a world that is increasingly filled with chaos and violence, the prospects of true peace become all the more appealing. May you find and have true and genuine peace.
