Pumpkin Array

What a wonderful lineup of gourd-gutting creativity! Behold the 2020 Blue Moon Halloween Pumpkin Array.

I’d like to be chattier tonight but it’s not in the cards. Upon reflection, I have to laugh at that statement. Not only am I not feeling conversational, I’m not picking any cards for us, either.

But that’s at least partially because I feel we got a lot to chew on with last night’s cards. I did not get a chance to sit quietly and engage in any reflection today, so I’m hoping to find some time tomorrow. You know…we have that whole extra hour to indulge in.

Headlines

There are new stories and reports of clashes between supporters of the two presidential candidates, as well as some rather horrific descriptions of people marching in solidarity to the polls in North Carolina, only to be met by pepper spray and arrests.

Hang on, I have to check my calendar. What year is this?

The tension everywhere is palpable. I’ve actually had to remind myself several times today to just disengage from my thoughts, look up at the sky, the clouds, the sunset, the moon, and just breathe.

It helped. So I remind you, too. Look up. Breathe deep. Smile.
