Honoring the more than 500 Kids in the Last Decade (through 2016) Who Have Lost their Lives to Domestic Violence...and the Thousand Moms who Also Perish Each Year (for Decades, Sadly)

"Coast to Coast in America" sounds good, yet when a warning is issued, it means "Time to Heed It!" October happens to be Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so coming on the heels of Gun Violence events at the start of the month and the coast to coast concerts against gun violence in September 2017, let's keep the learning happening. Someone near or dear to you may have already suffered (and I  recently met people from Toronto and Colorado coming to show support for the cause of preventing Gun Violence via The Carey Gabay Foundation which will do outreach in the NYC area.

Aerial Dancer

Alighting on Majestic Flower

On the Golden Red Tower

Applauds With Its Bright Wings

All of Creation Silently 

Displaying Its Mosaic Painted Wings

Then Disappearing The Mystery by 

Clapping Its Wings Shut

Whether This Creature Is Male

Or Female, Parent Or Child

This Monarch Butterfly 

Resting on The Iridescent 

Purple Cone Flower 

Is Part of Creaton 

As Are We All

As Is The Flower

The Soil and The Sky

To Which the

Delicate Yet Magical Butterfly

And Each of Us In Turn 

Will Return

 

This poem was inspired by a real life butterfly landing in my Turtle Garden

All of this got me thinking about September 11th, 2001..and how We Were All Convinced What We Were Seeing on National TV (and hearing for days and months afterward) was The Truth. We left our common sense on the couch before turning up the volume and all we saw and heard was taken as gospel truth.

I had video clips of our meal since the people were new to me. Turns out The Mystery Plate was served to me along with my coffee.

It came with a set of silverware wrapped in a black cloth napkin across it as well so did not look like a simple empty plate which is what my new friend noted had
