She saved the world. A lot.

My alarm clock is about to sound, but I've been awake for some time.  I slept a few hours, after watching the final scene of Buffy season 5.  "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it," Buffy tells Dawn.  "Be brave.  Live."  Then she gives her gift.  Sisters give a special kind of love, and I'm so thankful for it.  I'm thankful for the music I am listening to, the trees in Trexler Park, the old gardener who lead the tigers away, and the divine mother who has always been with me.  That is more than enough for this sleepless soul.

We Cannot Escape Fear

"We cannot escape fear.  We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures..."  ~Susan Jeffers

I'm learning so much about fear this year!  (It ain't so scary.)

2 Jokes & a Sketch

Here are two jokes I've been working on:

Q: What did the river say when a wayfarer tried to stop its flow?
A: "I'll be damned!"

(That one's better spoken aloud than written.)

And:

Q: What is the destiny of a silent frog?
A: Someday he'll croak.

Ha!

Finally, a sketch I doodled today while waiting in the carpool line:
