I know this feeling won't last forever
but, boy, does it feel good
for right now!
The much needed reminder that you're not alone;
that you're not the only one that thinks our country is seriously out of whack;
that the cruelty which is SO the point of the current administrations policies
do NOT represent who the majority of the citizens in this country are;
the possibility, no matter how slight, that there will be an end,
a reckoning,
of this terrible period in our history.
And, after much debate - and an ongoing argument with my brother,
I painted over the NO Dic tator sign and replaced it with
No Mad King.
There were several protests planned in our area and I went to the closest one.
I had every intention of joining the larger event downtown several hours later,
but between my health, the heat and symptoms of dehydration,
I opted for AC and home instead.
Luckily, there were thousands of people to cover for me.
St Louis turned out in glorious style.
It was heartwarming to see.
reminders that there are like minded people out there IN DROVES
who object to what's being done in our names,
to our country
in the coming 3 years -
oh god, that's a long time!!
Soaking up every glimmer of joy I can to get through.
Art Boy had an exhibit in Kansas City last weekend
and, on opening night, sold 7 of his paintings.
I was SO pleased for him.
Had a quick visit with him before he headed west again.
Stay cool out there!
