What do you when it continues to be "Not Spring"?
Hang out with awesome people and repeat after me....
The frost on the trees is still pretty..the frost on the trees is still pretty... the frost on the trees is still pretty...repeat until the snow melts...
Yup, you guessed it, the final days of March and tonight, overnight, we will have a windchill of -30C.
It's really kinda sucky, but spring can't be too far off, right? Right?!
Moving on.......
The March for Our lives.....
The more information I gather from news sources here in Canada, the US, the UK and other parts of the world, the more impressed I am with the young people of this planet.
Maybe this will be the generation that will actually forge a path to some semblance of peace. Maybe this will be the generation that finds solutions. They are fearless, they are fierce, they are tireless, they are savvy, they are intelligent, they are articulate, they are still in their teens.
I'm not really surprised by these impressive young humans as I think kids tend to be underestimated all of the time.
What I do find surprising, however, is the visceral, venomous reactions from some full-fledged adults. Some adults seem to be making it their mission to villainize these kids. If they aren't villainizing, they are attempting to make them seem smaller, less important.They could give classes on classic bullying.
I just can't seem to wrap my head around how, as an adult, you can go after kids like.
Some have gone so far as to call the survivors of the school shooting in Florida, "actors."
These kids are pleading for the right to attend school safely, begging the adults that run things to find a way to make that happen. They are grieving the loss of their friends and schoolmates. They are standing up for past victims and survivors, trying desperately to do what they can to ensure they are the last. They already aren't the last.
Why are these "adults" so terrified of these kids? What are they saying or doing that is so sinister? They just want to go to school without fear. That doesn't seem so outrageous to me.
Your biggest worries in school should be about your grades, your friends, and who likes who. It doesn't sound like it should be that complicated, or that they are asking for all that much.

Well, that about does it for now,
May you win this battle that shouldn't be, for you should not have to fight to learn without threat.
May those that have somehow found an opposite side to this, CHILDREN are dead, don't allow yourself to forget.
May you, little one, once again wear your light up shoes, with no fear of being seen by the gunman's keen eye.
May you, those afraid to stand up, wipe this terror from the thoughts of those too young to understand the why.
May kids, once again just be allowed to go to school, growing up is already really rough.
May you see they shouldn't have to fight for the privilege, the time is now, Enough is Enough.
