Winter is on its way and the snow has brought down the last of the leaves. The green is gone for another year, and we must be patient for spring. I am finished with the garden for another year. Possibilities are still forthcoming in my brain for the next season.        

Avoidance has left me a little somber. I have come full circle and am back at the desk, coming back to writing. Possibility lingers in the air and creating availability to write is a priority. Avoidance never gets you anywhere. My vintage lofty goals and expectations of actions that matter may make me obsolete in the eyes of some. Many of the people I meet have not been exposed to the underbelly of the big cities and rural America’s prejudice like I have. Strange how we think we know everything and yet when fear rears its ugly head the reactions change to thoughts and ideas that do not fit expectations. Our polite society has always been ambiguous at best and yet if we do not continue strive for it, society as we know it will go away. We must reach further every day to break down the barriers and create a society where it fulfills the hopes and dreams for everyone.

I implore you to have your own lofty goals and expectations. Create your own possibilities and act on them. Act with kindness, give care, speak your truth, be one less negative person in the world.
