It is indeed heart rending and shocking, I can’t imagine enjoying the peace and joy of music and suddenly have it all turn to terror like that.
I am so glad you are feeling better. That sounds excruciating, what an ordeal. I hope you don’t have any more episodes any time soon. Have a good day, Deb. I always enjoy your positivity in the face of it all.
I can't imagine it at all. and thank you Jenn. It comes on like a faucet and then it stops. I have to learn to give into it a bit better, but it's hard to miss out. I don't help it if I keep going through the very bad episodes - they are more flattening. I can keep going through the everyday lighter pain so my body keeps moving as that's key and really important.
Hope you're having a good teaching week with the kiddos! I always look forward to the glimpse into your life with them :) Sending you a big hug. oxox
Yikes, that’s crazy. Can you tell if it’s going to be a bad one early on? Living with the constant pain must be brutal; I can imagine that letting it rob you of things and experiences you love pushes you to ignore it. :(
We are having a crazy busy week! It’s good, though, just trying to focus and wrap things up!
Get ourselves back to the garden, I love that. This a beautiful and poignant tribute, well done. Yes, I do remember attending music festivals in my youth, the elation of being surrounded by and swept up in music; the shared feeling of euphoria. I can’t imagine that turning into such horror and terror. Thank you for this beautiful article with your gorgeous photographs (how fun to shoot music festivals!). I hope you are feeling better soon.
Thank you Jenn for reading and sharing. My heart sinks at the thought of how this happened. Brutal beyond words. Intentional, unprovoked and sinister :(
I was very blessed to shoot a bit of music in my years working. Probably my favorite!
The arthritis episode is over! Thank you for asking :). It was three solid days of bone pain and ended, while babysitting Friday, with a rare ocular migraine! then that turned into a rare bad migraine (also rare when the ocular gives you severe headache). I felt pretty beaten up and canceled plans on Saturday to recover. Finally felt normal by Sunday! Yay! Getting old with these bones is challenging! Hope you're all doing great! love, deb. ox
Oh Dear Deb… thank you for remember these souls, for dedicating your writing to them. You bring me closer to God than most sermons…you faith is contagious and I’m in tears and in awe of your writing and caring, loving, beautiful heart! Bravo, my friend! This piece really hits loving Joni and her work as I do! 😊🩷🥰😘
Thank you so much. There was a time where all we wanted as a society was to bring hostages home or ban together in love and care. We must choose goodness. Too many people are picking and choosing what type of people they hate and I thought racism was a recent protest? It's very frightening. We need to care about the collective pain of the whole world and people everywhere under persecution. God doesn't pick who to love and who to hate. We do. Frighteningly, we need to answer to Him at the end of our lives.
Sending you my love (and I've loved Joni forever! She was definitely curious about the Creator). oxox
I hear yiy, I get you… right now I’m scared of trump winning… he and other dictators bring suffering and hate and racism to our precious world! I’m frightened for my grandkids, my own two kids who only know kindness and caring. Thankfully they still attend church, say their prayers… am I wrong to say I want God to intervene????
So much. so so much. I, like you, have to check myself with allowing too much thought over what is happening in the world. I literally ache for it at times and it flattens me, as much as I give it to God - it's just our hearts for humanity grab us hard. I love this piece of poetry Elliot. Carry it forth into a piece. Please. Sending you so much love. ox
Susan, It's pretty cool to know the stories behind these soulful artists. I hated to see her lose her way but age and a brain aneurysm in 2015 made her go on the complete opposite side of her rebellious nature with the vaccine rollout. She pulled her music from Spotify with Neil Young because of misinformed politics. She would never have succumbed to pressure for that liquid. She spent her life fighting that stuff. Crazy how the tide of hippie children turned up-side-down during 2020 and beyond.
I forgive her. She's a legacy and she's back. I'm so glad it moved you. ox
Ive always been moved to tear tears listening to Joni’s lyrics 😢💧 I’m dripping on my keyboard. Thank you @Deborah T. Hewitt I have a friend who is a successful sculptor and she told me she uses software designed for doctors to look inside and outside the body in 3-D design which helps her artistically create. This software was designed from information gained by corrupt doctors and scientists during the Nazi regime.
Your words are a reminder that through grief and pain wonderful goodness can emerge. Again thank you so much for your beautiful post this afternoon! ✨💜✨
Thank you so much for this comment. What a fascinating story of the software your friend uses? I was looking back at some heavy history of the Nazi regime today. Horrific.
I am amazed that the Jewish people rise and rise. Their persecution throughout history is volumes and volumes. I pray goodness prevails. oxox

How much more horror must humanity endure? And why should we tolerate the terror that our elected leaders, by our blood and tears, procure?

I’d not heard this performance before. It moved me.
