QUITTING and NOT

 Blogging and Posting
This morning I wondered why.  The screen's an empty canvas, a lump of clay, a bolt of cloth, a blank page--a creative outlet.  And though I'm thinking about possible readers or viewers, I'm doing it for myself essentially, doing it because something wants to manifest.  It's the same with photography - Sometimes the picture leads, sometimes the thought leads to a picture, and one thing leads to another so I'm not quitting yet. I'm still entertaining myself.

International, National and Local News
A trio guaranteed to bring you down even when the sun shines, so I'm retiring from the 'need-to-know' syndrome and quitting my daily plunge into the abyss.

"Way Down We Go"
by Kaleo
(5 Minutes)

However, I don't believe "we get what we deserve" - we get what we get for reasons we can only speculate about...blame the roads taken and chance. As to the current political moment; no one deserves it,
not even 'Godzilla'

(2 minutes forty seconds that felt like twenty minutes)

I was in a mood

GOING ON
"Exercise is good for people, as everyone knows. But scientists have surprisingly little understanding of its cellular impacts and how those might vary by activity and the age of the exerciser."

Just to say, I pay attention almost daily to 'my' blogs. It's
some good news that another human is going on even when it gets
hard for them. I do hope you continue to inspire me, but if not
please know it's been helpful for me.
