A Walk After A Rain, October 19th, 2025

On the day after more than seven million people marched in No Kings Day protests,

And after a night and morning of pouring rain,

The sun is out, and all the sidewalk windows up to the sky are briefly opened.

I glance into each puddle as I pass to see what is temporarily on offer.

I see clouds, trees and leaves, telephone wires, and a lot of imagined possibility.

There is a glimmer of hope reflected, that so many showed up, peacefully danced with inflatable frogs, and no violence occurred.

I appreciate the glimmers today.
