"She looks like Eva Marie Saint
In 'On the Waterfront'
She says all she needs is therapy
All you need is love is all you need"

What's blooming and comestible
Didn't really care for the taste of nettles & rose in an infusion, but the plants liked it.
Rose could go very well with raspberry leaf and red clover...hint of mint too?

I was thinking about some people
Ah...the nuns...they do some things...the internal work. Living a certain type of life in a certain type of female body with lots of symptoms and hardly any steady path to follow from conventional medicine will drive you towards internal work. Do this or die. It feels like that sometimes.
There are people who have become masters at manifesting external stuff in this life. For some reason I sat next to one on a plane that was malfunctioning. It had to land and it did. And there was still chaos with communication. The whole experience was far more scary for me than it was for him and there probably are reasons for that.

A wrinkle...but...
(Going for a walk down the road in spite of the fact that it is where the "man who is racist against Mexicans" lives and then returning to the hostess waving and saying "Glad you came back!")

"Inequality, like many problems we face, is as vast as it is complex. But this article left me a little more hopeful:"

"Raj Chetty got his biggest break before his life began. His mother, Anbu, grew up in Tamil Nadu, a tropical state at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent. Anbu showed the greatest academic potential of her five siblings, but her future was constrained by custom. Although Anbu’s father encouraged her scholarly inclinations, there were no colleges in the area, and sending his daughter away for an education would have been unseemly.
But as Anbu approached the end of high school, a minor miracle redirected her life. A local tycoon, himself the father of a bright daughter, decided to open a women’s college, housed in his elegant residence. Anbu was admitted to the inaugural class of 30 young women, learning English in the spacious courtyard under a thatched roof and traveling in the early mornings by bus to a nearby college to run chemistry experiments or dissect frogs’ hearts before the men arrived. Anbu excelled, and so began a rapid upward trajectory."

Have to pack! (with music)
The Dixie Cups - Iko Iko - 1965
Personally, I would like to ignore the weight loss ad (100% targeted at women) if it pops up again.
The Belle Stars ~ Iko Iko
Society spends entirely too much time telling women to lose weight and not enough time talking about awesome grandmothers.
Go grandma(s)!
Buried under everything else!
Texas this month.

Earth entertainment ideas
What if you had a lot of fans and descendants who were greatly impressed by your enthusiasm for hummingbirds, flowers, bees....all of that stuff. What if that will be more important in the future because....

HAVE U CONSIDERED THAT
Also don't think that you can just escape by dying. People come back.
