Oysters!

Work is busy still, with a certain kind of stress. I got some work done in between meetings and managed to see some birds. It was a beautiful day with clouds and sun, with the wet earth and puddles from the rain yesterday and last night. The world is joyful with the emergence of spring here, even though every day there is outrage, distress, and anger. Take a moment to just notice the magic all around you.

Today was our fish CSA, so we got oysters. Royal Miyagi oysters from Stretch Island, WA. They were totally amazing, and their shells seem so healthy and strong. I always feel so much better after eating oysters. For me, it's like magic medicine for health and well-being. Benevolence.

The midterms are coming let's remove from office everyone waging war against democracy.

Here is someone making sense. I have many more things that are important to me but this is a basic way forward.

Clouds

6:46 am – 5:59 pm, which is 11 hours and 13 minutes of daylight! Note the sun sets at 6pm! So incredibly wonderful for the commuter here.

The bird of the day is a Bonin Petral.

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,

Tawnia
