peace statement #39

Erik and Laura-Marie are strongly against the war, the other war, and war generally. Killing people is not correct behavior and is a bad example to all. Children suffer--adults suffer. Animals and the environment are harmed. Money is wasted that could be used to help people and feed the poor. Mental health is compromised, art is destroyed, resources are wasted. War is ugly and wrong. Peace is how we all want to live.

Death valley in winter #39

Death Valley in winter, with ravens--sitting at the campfire and hearing coyotes walk by, their nails clicking on the asphalt. Looking at the full moon through binoculars. Walking in a crater, screwbean mesquite trees, seeing Saturn through a telescope.
