grape hyacinths

when today's news of hubris,
power, money, lies and racism
started to eat at my innards...
i took a glass of wine and my camera outside
to see if i could calm myself down a bit.
it worked.
no prescription required.

how do you shake off the crazies?

  1. I blog it out. Or meditate.

    But I'm glad you take pictures of pretty flowers.

  2. I try to find something beautiful, someone amazing or something inspiring to renew my faith in humanity.
    Beautiful flowers!

  3. I head into nature - just as you did. In worst case scenarios I visit a graveyard - a great place to ask "does it matter in the grand scheme?"

  4. I turn off the news and get outside, which works every time!

  5. I read the "Quaker notes" (short affirmations) the girls have written me, or I watch an episode of The Office to remind myself that my job is pretty awesome.
