Happy New Year of the Dragon Patti! Thank you for tending to the garden of humanity's capacity for love; we live in a world capable of infinity, restrained by those who believe in control and possession.

It is warming to my heart to know that loving will always out-live and out-do hatred. I may not be there to see it, but I know in my mind that change and the opportunity to love are the only constants in this universe. 💙

Happy Losar Tashi Delek to you!

Thank you for sharing your time and good wishes with us.

What a powerful piece of theater and reminder of how war spares no one, not least of all the children.

I wish this lunar New Year for an end to war.

I very much appreciate you acknowledging the effects of war on the ground as you did in the video and for including the powerful short of "Mother Courage". War is so often framed in the context of politics but to strip down to most base of the reality torments us with the humanity, or lack thereof. It is brutal but so very important to not turn away. We all have to speak for the dead but there is surely no pain like a mother to lose a child. I believe we all absorb these souls and take on their struggles over and over til we can learn. This is a time of awakening and heightened consciousness that we are all a part of right now. White crow has blessed Anchorage with it's presence lately and is a powerful omen of just this. It may not be a dragon but absolutely is Puff in spirit; all white feathers and bright blue eyes, total embodiment of crow trickster too, scarfing Ben and Jerry's, dancing around, preening for the cameras. Quite a show of joy and new hopes for this present day history of change that is becoming. What a blessed time to bring about change!
