Optimism, in a Counterview



awynart2018
The ship is sinking.
                               "LOOK!!!! There's a squirrel!"

~ ~ ~

Enough of the strategic 'Throw-everyone-off-balance' tactics
and squirrely re-directs for the unthinkful.
Read some poetry instead.
It provides insights,
suggests interesting alternative
Possibilities;
 shows us beauty, and
reminds us that life is
Life.

a corrupt world
in its latter days . . .
                                  but cherry blossoms!
