This is awesome PS from start to finish. I see you mentioned Connie here, who recently left the earth for more peaceful altitudes. Hugs to you for acknowledging another poet, instead of patting yourself on the back as a deep philosopher.. You, PS, are great of heart and kind. A lesson in being human for us all. Pangie xx

I am glad you liked this one—and reminded me of Connie’s inspiration. She was just such a good soul and of course the world and this site are poorer for the loss of her. But oh, how perfectly put, she has “left the earth for more peaceful altitudes.” <3 ps

Yes, it is true that mountain sized clouds are hovering over America and the whole world. The stage is being set for some great event. Sara

I don't remember where, but Connie posted a link to a video of people round the world demonstrating over lockdowns and mandates. It is a very powerful thing to see. That inspired this poem. :)
