Some squirrels find all sorts of things to eat in New York.
This one has not – at least not at the time of this photo.
Although it seemed like the squirrel expected to receive something.
See you along the Trail

Two purple sentries,
in different stages of development,
stand and watch at the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum.
For the record –
and should you ever visit Greeley –
the museum has much, much more
to see and do
than merely purple flowers
to photograph and view.

You can find it anywhere, but something about honesty in New York resonates with me. I don’t always agree, but I do respect it.

See you along the Trail.
Honestly.
Another flower
another shade
but still enjoying the incredible diversity
of the gardens at the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum.

A different type of purple flowers,
although still in the gardens of the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum
and I still don’t know their name.
I appreciate their color and their beauty.

Food. New York has it in diversity. You can find almost any kind of food you desire in New York. Heck, animals can do that too:
Now where did I put the lox?
Please pass the cream cheese.

Purple flowers ordinarily post on Mondays. But this has been no ordinary week in New York and too many places around the world. As have our brothers and sisters along the coast and in other parts of the United States, including Puerto Rico, as have our sisters and brothers in Haiti, Cuba, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Canada, and Jamaica, we have come through Sandy. Cyclone Nilam has impacted brothers and sisters living on the Indian Ocean. Storms real and storms metaphorical have touched lives around the world.
In all those places, in different ways, storms have battered, bruised, and tested people. There are new saints to remember on this All Saints’ Day. Scars remain and continue to emerge. Tests and challenges continue.
These are no ordinary purple flowers. During yesterday’s long walk, I came across them on 51st Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. They survived the storm.
I post them today
in memory of all killed by Sandy, Nilam, and other storms
in support for all who grieve
in honor of all who have endured
in profound respect for first responders
as a modest sign of hope for those who continue to struggle with the aftermath of the storm
as a prayer that our nation, our people and all the nations and peoples
may ponder the storm and how it calls us to change and
may find the courage to make those changes.
