the basin – day 449

baby bumps – young mergansers on a family outing – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 407

above the darkness a light still shines – stay strong, be kind, breath deep, breath slowly, stay safe, be well

life, since the world was young, has been hard. today is no different yet everything has changed. we change with new eyes awaking from new dreams, always different, always the same. since the world was young we have beholden to others for our very survival, always different, always the same. may our strength be found in kindness, in love, always fragile, always strong.

take care and kindness with you always.
