observations from a novelist who sometimes wants to say something small and see it published immediately

Also a Sandhill Crane

silhouettesandhillcranenew-sky_189_origMy yoga teacher moved to Florida. Every few days she posts a photograph on Facebook. While most of my friends post updates on Gaza or Ferguson, on labor efforts, climate change, police brutality, Monsanto, or economics, she posts the image of a bird, flying over the ocean; the sunset; a tree. It’s messy, being alive. It’s never all one way or another. It’s Gaza and Ferguson, and it’s also a sandhill crane, silhouetted against a pink sky.

  1. This beautiful photograph comes from Isobel Wayrick’s website.

  2. Bravo to you! It is, indeed, important to continue the on-going fight against injustice and battling some of the wrongs of the world, but to also recognize the beauty and harmony that is around us is equally important for the human spirit.
