My poem

This poem shuffles out
onto the train
self-conscious,
looking both ways.

Its sunburn scalding
the starched pink dress
scratching the swollen skin-
tender pink and sore.

It makes me swoon,
and softly fall
to the filthy floor
below

crumpled by the faint
I melt: a pillow of pink
my eyes close
the door opens.

the crowd steps over me
eager to get on their way…
the car empties
leaving a pink burnt plop:

the fourteen year old
victim of the sun
on NYC subway’s floor
is left to ride alone.

Pandemic

What if you thought of it
as the Jews consider the Sabbath—
the most sacred of times?
Cease from travel.
Cease from buying and selling.
Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down.
And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives
are in one another’s hands.
(Surely that has become clear.)
Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch.
Promise the world your love—
for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health,
as long as you shall live.

…a full belly laugh

April 1

April brings its fool
to trick us
tickle us.

Then curtain falls on humor
crowns the king
in gold.

Rain pelts down
turns the gray earth green:
verdant scene.

Spring makes us giggle
right in the middle
a full belly laugh.

Vincent Van Gogh

I always loved Van Gogh as a soul mate. Hope you also value his message
even if you never paint. Just ponder the wonder of the sky and stars!

Vincent Van Gogh

March 30 is the birthday of the artist who wrote, “To do good work, one must eat well, be well housed, have one’s fling from time to time, smoke one’s pipe, and drink one’s coffee in peace”: Vincent van Gogh, born in Groot-Zundert, Holland, in 1853. Not much is known about his childhood, except that he was one of six children, a quiet boy, not especially drawn to artistic pursuits. He worked for a time in an art gallery in The Hague as a young man, then left to follow in his clergyman father’s footsteps as a sort of missionary to the poor. His behavior was erratic, but his family supported him as best they could. And while he didn’t last too long as an evangelist, he felt a kinship with the working classes — an affinity demonstrated again and again in…

Luke wrote 2 books of the Bible

He was also a healer

Loved the broken

Served the lepers

healed mental and emotional breaks

was in awe of the Christ miracles

and died a martyr.

Open palm asks patiently

the falling blossoms

the heavenly gifts

eternal life in Christ

the swaying of the palms

Lover Acclaims:

There’s a person inside me
deeply in love with you
A person who’d sail any sea
to be with you; you with me
unafraid of everything, for you
he conquers roaring fears,
threats and dangers -evil made
devouring dragons; venomous snakes.

Look at the beauty in your eyes
The glowing sunrise shines
Your smile moves clouds; opens skies
Your laughter delights butterflies.

Ocean greets you as you pass
Gorgeous toes leave their mark,,,
Breezes blow through your hair
elegantly…while astonished eyes
all stare…Who is this mermaid fair?

Quotes for Palm Sunday:

“When I let faith and trust lead the way I know I’m being divinely guided, I can trust my body and let it move how it feels prompted.”
Archangel Haniel

“As I look back on my life, I accept the things I cannot change and focus on letting go of any negativity.”

Archangel Haniel

“Good literature continually read for pleasure must, let us hope, do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions.”

A.E. Housman

On this day in 1920, a 23-year-old unknown author named F. Scott Fitzgerald (books by this author) published his debut novel, This Side of Paradise, to wide acclaim.
This Side of Paradise is a love story inspired by Fitzgerald’s romance with Zelda Sayre (books by this author). The summer before the book’s publication, Zelda had broken up with him. Fitzgerald returned to his hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota, hoping that writing a successful novel would win her back. He transformed an older unpublished book from his desk, The Romantic Egotist, into This Side of Paradise.
The book’s protagonist, Amory Blaine, enrolls in Princeton as a Midwest native, engages in a failed relationship with a wealthy young woman, joins the Army, and then returns to begin a relationship with a different debutante, much like Scott Fitzgerald himself. The novel was extraordinarily successful, selling out within three days of its first print.
Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald were married in New York a week after the book’s publication.

It’s the birthday of the feminist writer and activist who is widely (and erroneously) credited with coining the phrase, “A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” That’s Gloria Steinem (books by this author), born in Toledo, Ohio (1934). The cofounder of MS magazine, she has been the subject of many biographies and documentaries, including HBO’s Gloria: In Her Own Words. In The Glorias, a 2020 film based on her book My Life on the Road, Steinem is represented by four actresses, who portray her life at different ages. The Glorias had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020.

The 9 Aura Colors and Their Meanings (+ What They Say About a …
During an aura reading, an aura reader will typically ask the client to sit against a backdrop and then take a photo. The camera will produce a Polaroid with different colors across the picture. The colors to the right represent the person’s emotional state during the prior week. The colors over the head and torso represent their current emotional state. And the colors to the left represent their weeks to come.
To put it simply, aura photography shows the auric field of a person. Christina Lonsdale, a Portland-based artist, explains it like this: “The camera uses hand sensors that pick up this energy field and a proprietary algorithm matches this energy to a color.”
To determine what those colors in the photograph actually mean, here is a breakdown of all the aura color meanings:
A red aura means someone has an energetic, passionate, and fiery personality. They don’t like to follow instructions and will put their thoughts into action without hesitation. Red is associated with the root chakra, so having a red aura means a person’s root chakra is healthy and unblocked.
A yellow aura, or a gold aura, means someone is sunny, cheery, and charismatic. Anyone with a yellow aura is confident, strong, and empowered. They make friends everywhere they go because they are social and have a personality that attracts others. This color is associated with the solar plexus chakra, so anyone with a yellow aura has their solar plexus unblocked.
A purple aura, or a violet aura, represents sensitivity, intuition, and intelligence. It is associated with the third-eye chakra. Anyone with a purple aura or a violet aura may have psychic ability.
An orange aura represents creativity and sexual energy. These people learn from experience rather than reading theories or essays. They prefer having hands-on experience in a subject. Orange is associated with the sacral chakra, so anyone with an orange aura has their sacral unblocked.
A green aura means someone is kind, compassionate, and forgiving. They have an open heart and are easily influenced by others since they choose to see the good in people. They also love music and nature. This color is associated with the heart chakra, which means anyone with a green chakra has their heart chakra unblocked. However, the green aura color meaning can also be negative.  Muddier shades of green can represent possessiveness and fear of not being loved.

A pink aura means someone is kind, compassionate, caring, and loving. They must be careful when it comes to setting boundaries because their sweet nature makes it easy for others to take advantage of them. Like a green aura, this color is associated with the heart chakra.
A blue aura, or an indigo aura, represents a powerful mind. They are insightful and wise. However, they need to be careful to ground themselves since they are daydreamers. This color is associated with the throat chakra.
A white aura means someone has a quick mind and a strong sense of connection to a higher power. However, they are perfectionists who are always nervous and worried. This aura is associated with the crown chakra.
A brown aura, or a tan aura, means a person is hard-working, grounded, and prefers working with their hands. However, this color can also represent greed and selfishness. It suggests a person is self-involved and highly opinionated.
A grey aura is uncommon. It represents negative emotions and negative energy. The color can indicate a lack of direction or confusion about where a person is headed in their life.
A turquoise aura means someone has strong communication skills. They are multi-taskers who are incredibly organized and are great at handling tough situations. Because they are so magnetic, they have a strong influence on others.
A black aura is a sign someone is exhausted or stressed. Although most people’s auras can have both positive and negative associations, this aura color meaning is entirely negative. This emotional imbalance is incredibly unhealthy. However, grounding or energy healing can help brighten the aura back up.
A rainbow aura is rare to see. These auras typically belong to someone who is spiritually evolved, who meditates regularly, or who considers themselves an energy healer. There is also a belief that first-time incarnations to the Earth have rainbow auras because they are still spiritually connected to the realm of creation.
The 7 Aura Layers:
Auras are actually layered. Each layer represents a different part of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual conditions of a human being. It’s important to know the aura layer meaning in addition to the color meaning, so here is what each one represents:
The first aura layer is the Etheric Layer, which outlines the body. This layer is only located one to two inches from a person, which is why it is able to reveal the conditions and health of the physical body.
The second layer is the Emotional Layer, which is in the shape of an oval. This layer is two to four inches away from the body. It is constantly changing and reflects a person’s current mood.
The third layer is the Mental Layer. It is located four to eight inches from the body. Mental health issues commonly present themselves in this layer.
The fourth layer is the Astral Bridge Layer. It is eight to twelve inches away from the body. It is the window to a person’s spiritual nature and represents love, well-being, and life-balance.
The fifth layer is the Etheric Template Layer. It is two feet away from the body. It represents the level of communication and creativity a person contains.
The sixth layer is the Celestial Layer. It is two to three feet away from the body. It represents the subconscious mind.
The seventh layer is the Ketheric Template Layer. This is the final layer, which protects all the other auras and holds them together.
