I want to see fox faes dancing (but I click on the news) I want to smell carnations and roses (but the garbage truck rolls by my window) I want to wake to the sounds of birds chirping (and I do, thanks to my pair a keets) I want to smell the smell of Peace (but my nostrils flare with despair) I want to know there is Hope (may she return from a long vacation) I want to see the fox faes dancing, even if only in my mind. So I put a whimsical picture on my desktop, then write myself a giant sticky note: "Stay away from the news" |

I love your poem, Kacy. However, the news today was full - well, nearly full - of Madiba's (Nelson Mandela's love-name) 88th birthday! So I didn't stay away from that part of the news today. - Owl |

Kacy I wonder why more of the positive and lovely things going on cannot be on the first page and second...and on...an ad for the good in people...free. Yep, that would be the kind of news for me! |

wow, Madiba is 88! that is great! may he cruise to 100 and then some Martie, wouldn't that be a wonderful way to start the news day, with a page filled with the good stuff that is happening? |

"I want to smell the smell of Peace" Doesn't seem too much to ask, does it Kacy? Sigh... listen to your pair a keets. They chirp in spite of it all. |
