Do you feel comfortable walking in your neighbourhood at night? No and no one should.
When you shop for day to day things, do you pay by cash or card? I don’t carry cash so bank card always.
When was the last time you dressed up for a special occasion? A city band concert last week.
Have you ever lied about your age? No.

Gratitude: As always I appreciate my family, especially this week because time is short and every hug or smile is wonderful.

The Sunday Whirl

May 7, 2023 by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Nothing mattered more at this moment, than wanting to hear the hummed whisper. It came to Jane at night when she was alone, in bed, trying not to listen to the rattle of wooden shutters bumping against the window glass. The whoosh of hard pounding water from the spring rain seemed to be beating on them, wanting to come inside and cover her. It was a familiar story, told by her grandmother back when she was a child. Whenever Jane visited the farm, her grandmother told stories as she continued cooking. She would check on the lamb roast often, knowing her capability to feed her family. It was only afterwards, when Jane stayed the night, when she would tell other stories to Jane, that Jane was frightened. One story her grandmother told was when she was a child on the farm and the area was flooded by a spring storm. It broke glass in the windows so fiercely that the family had to take refuge in the attic. After reciting the scary stories, she would begin humming to soothe Jane to sleep. Jane never forgot the frightening stories and as an adult, bad storms at night haunted her, and she longed for the soft humming sounds.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

May 6, 2023May 6, 2023 by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

How to eradicate the indelible words on children’s minds as they are constantly bombarded by untruths and hate is a problem for every parent. Whether some people choose to follow in possibly their parents’ outdated philosophies’ footsteps—never questioning or pausing to think for themselves—or read, research, and explore new ideas is a choice; a daily choice to make.

I just watched a movie on Netflix named “Mudbound”. It was powerful and depressing and you know what? I’m tired. I’m just tired of all of the violence put upon people that don’t match up in skin color. Just plain tired and sad. It’s been going on forever and nothing changes.

The song was inspired by various events in Cooke’s life, most prominently when he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana. Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his struggle and of those around him, and that pertained to the Civil Rights Movement and African Americans.
