It's another rainy day on this holiday weekend, devastating local beaches and holiday plans; yet, perhaps this is a chance to reflect?
Dismal skies, soggy sands, somber moods,
Encompass East Coast environs, essential
Precipitation pushes people, parties to
Suspend celebrations, postpone plans,
Reflect on lives lost to wars, prejudice, as well as,
Illness, disease, limited resources, decisions,
Racism, intolerance, radicalism, isolation,
Ignorance, radicalization, self-serving decisions,
Bias, preconceptions, addiction, power plays,
Reminders, perhaps? that our beliefs and actions
Impact others, we are in control of our actions,
Not only our response.

What a way to capture the spirit of the times, with the rain and all the uncertainty that gets in the way and clouds our thinking. I like that you included a map to waymark the weather on this Memorial Day Weekend. It's creative and sends a strong message. We were in the group who shifted gears from existing plans to new plans. On the schedule today: Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix. I've read the book, and my book club is reading it this month. But I haven't seen the movie, and I'm ready to use the rain to feel less guilty about down time of watching a movie.
