Found Exhortation

thoughts on how we fit into the web of community, family and society
Caught in the act, and I just admired and took a picture. I will kill invasive insects (usually by squishing them, never with toxic pesticides).

I hear a lot that there’s always a rainbow after the storm. That platitude is looking for and being open to joy and not toxic positivity unless we recognize some people do not survive the storm and some people are not situated to see the rainbow through no fault of their own.

A member of a text group of hyper local neighbors sent a text with a “rainbow alert,” as a fierce thunderstorm was coming to an end.
I was already watching and photographing. Another neighbor sent a photo of an enormous tree limb that had just fallen to the sidewalk due to the storm. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Also—found exhortation and be here now variation. I consider this a reminder that loving your neighbor is a practice. As is how, when, and where to use commas.
