Could this be a Christmas tree this man is walking away from? It has a shape to it and as in a 'Charlie Brown Christmas' all it needs is a little love. All you need is some pinecones with peanut butter and birdseed and string to hang on the branches. Maybe some popcorn chains with cranberries. That is what the man is thinking as he walks back to his house and thinks what a nice present to give to the Winter birds who stay around in the cold and snowy and yes blustery North. Now the birds can have Christmas.

The Rose
There was this old rose bush in a neighbor's yard years ago that seemed to only bloom peach-colored roses. The neighbor said, "His wife planted that bush before she died and every time it blooms, I think of her. Her favorite color was peach and when I see those blooms she is speaking to me and sharing what she is doing now in heaven. Now, I do not talk back, but one day I will share with her again all the memories that she missed physically for I know she will know emotionally for she is watching over me now.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”
