What a lovely almost stream-of-conscious wandering into the seasonal changes (which I would never trade in for year-round sunshine) and to-do lists that invite procrastination (which is always a factored-in part of my creative process, I realize at this juncture of my life) and leading up to listening, and empathy. I was and still can be a knee-jerk jerk, but I find now that for my own personal sanity (under our current regime here in the upside-down-world of the USA) I need to recognize that human nature courts both kindness and violence. But let's tame our egos and greed, and take a walk in the changing seasons, and maybe smile at someone who might not think as we do.

“But let's tame our egos and greed, and take a walk in the changing seasons, and maybe smile at someone who might not think as we do.”
How I wish I would have come up with that phrase for the post!
Thank you so much for the read and the comment, Sharon.
Empathic listen,
hear our brothers,’ sisters’ hearts,
their nightmares, dreams, hopes.
...
Call for compassion,
for our/others’ flaws, faults, falls.
Empathy, humble.
