Two cats in front of a fire,

sunshine before more snow,

multi grain pancakes on the griddle

and a mug of steaming tea.

I hesitate to even mention this,

but today is 

International Holocaust Remembrance Day,

on the 74th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

It reminds me that it's still important to speak up and challenge

hate speech, misogyny and bold aggression.

In fact it's even more important these days.

It's a tricky balance...
stepping away from the real world for personal sanctuary and sanity
and
stepping into the world to do what we feel called to do
in the service of our human family.

I am here for you, friends,
we can do this good work together.
