As a sensitive person, you’re a canary. Trust yourself. Just because you see things other people don’t, that doesn’t mean what you see isn’t real. Canaries were taken into coal mines because people can’t detect deadly CO.

050: Fare thee well

postcard front
Yehuda Ludwig Schwerin, “Oranges” (1972)

The windows shuttered at long last,
Laughter replaced by dust bunnies.
 
A few pure souls still soldier on:
Trolling lanky northern ginger,
Thoughtful blue-haired mountain angel,
And you, kindness made manifest;
Always telling the truth, with love.

Máire Ó Laoghaire, “Fare thee well”

How being kind is more loving than being nice

Rudy and Peter Skitterians, “Temple Bar” (2017)

I had the pleasure of visiting Dublin many times; everyone was always kind and inclusive. Thank you all for being wonderful hosts when I visited, from including me in outings to offering recommendations for food and drinks. I am going to miss you wonderful and talented folks and hope our paths cross again in the future.

Learn about social inclusion and how volunteering can be a powerful way to support a diverse community.

046: True love

postcard front
Mabel Amber, “Woman with pink hair” (2019)

We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love.

Robert Fulghum, “True Love”

Your marriage inspires me.
