re: word can poem... gave me a chuckle too. Will look for more of her poetry :)

"Just Once! Oh least Request!" - Emily Dickinson; Just Once! Oh least Request!... https://bloggingdickinson.blogspot.c...t-request.html

Good article. But I'm afraid that the next wave of destruction will affect a great quantity of humans too. And it seems to have started already. Speaking of it, winter has started already and there are Brazilian capitals with temperatures about 36 and 38 grades C. And the forecast is that the summer in the north half of the sphere may reach 50 grades. You probably will have to do something to protect family and pets.

Enjoyed the new riddle of E D. Interesting discussion in the comments: a gift is turned in an intense request for acceptance.

Restful night... rarely.

Thankfulness?... I practice as much as possible. "Dream of the beach."... it's all I can do; even when I was in Monterrey I never saw the ocean nor the beach... too hurried here and there and having to get home (sigh).
