Rise And Shine....

...on a beautiful and sunny (for now) Monday morning.  Difficult today....because no matter how much I wanted to be an ostrich and hide from the horrible news over the weekend, I still heard about the senseless shooting in Texas....gosh....what more can I say about guns and the useless deaths that they cause?  And these crazy people who get their hands on guns and kill and kill and kill with assault rifles, those weapons of mass destruction?  The problem now is that it's becoming so common...are we becoming immune to the horror?  This must end...we the people need to end the gun violence.  Now.  What are we waiting for?  Another crazy gunman to kill masses of people?  Enough is enough.

I can't believe I'm starting my week blogging about yet another mass killing.  I leave you with a sad heart and a fervent hope that we'll wake up out of this NRA chokehold and take back our country out of the hands of madmen with weapons and lobbyists with more money than god who have a chokehold on the people who are supposed to keep us safe.  Stop arming our country.  Stop giving license to killing sprees.  Stop it.  Protect our people from this mad sadness, this sad madness.  

I can't end on that note.  Here, the trees have finally begun to turn.  Enjoy the beauty and purity of that which is nature in all its glory.  May peace and love be in your hearts and souls today.
