Your poem fills me with hopium for days and days and days like the one you described - unreasonable optimism, or p'raps unoptional reason. ♥

Smiling. I was going to publish our piece on bees, but then HOPIUM ran away with the show. It's coming, I promise. And so glad you feel better! HUGS!

He is great, isn't he? I don't know why I never noticed the name of his Stack before. At any rate he really inspired me with his post on the convention. Thank you for the kind words, Diane. HUGS!

That feeling you get when hope courses through your veins, as restorative as oxygenated blood, messaging your brain and body that...yes...change is coming, kindness is poised to return to our cores, love for this good earth is ready to soar and heal every species, trees will grow and thrive once more, and the oceans will be restored.
