Who knew all this would happen afterwards! I used to write several blogs, but thought just concentrating on one would be easier for me and my readers. Sorry, it ends up having several topics in each post!

Happy Valentine's Day

 It's all about Love!


In Black Mountian, Wednesdays at 5 pm, this group of people stands on our biggest corner with signs to remind us of Love. Many of them are members of my little church also.

I always honk if I happen to see these smiling people! Isn't this the greatest message?

Today's quote:

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

        A joy, a depression, a meanness,
 
        some momentary awareness comes

 as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

        empty of its furniture,


        still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

    1. Thanks, Tom. Maybe, pink hats still stand for something in my book...resist those who want an autocracy rather than a democracy!

  3. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. This is the kind of demo I'm in favour of.

  6. Barbara, Great message for sure! Given our society today, I'm surprised that they haven't attracted counter demonstrators! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. I do think at times there have been some other demonstrators. I'll have to ask my friends what that was about. Glad to happen upon them when I do, I don't schedule going by ahead of time.

  8. A good shot.

    At the moment, honking horns has a very negative effect on me.
