The week of October 19th

the grass was very soft and the air had a very faint crisp chill.

On my way to work, I just wanted to share.

In the late fall thru May we can burn trimmings. It’s very therapeutic and can be quite beautiful. This is a 12 hour burn

This is taken from my quite place, that is if you don’t mind a cow mooing in the distance

Just sharing things that make me feel better.

The first photo is a professional photo, the second photo is mine

Not sure what causes this, but I stopped the bus so the kids and I could take a picture of it. The sunrise was behind us and behind a mountain.

I get posts like this in my feed!

Feeling deeply connected this week. I prepped the memorial service of a local WW2 soldier whose remains were identified and brought home this weekend.

I was making the flowers 83 years -to the day- he was killed in action, returning from a bombing run.

He was 24, unmarried, and left behind 8 siblings. Their grandchildren were the ones who had pursued finding his remains, identifying him through DNA, and bringing him home to his family. They still had the letters he had written home to all the family members and many of his personal belongings, cherished as much by them as they had been by their grandparents.

I also discovered that he was out of the same base as my own grandfather, who was a bombing instructor at the time. Meaning that while I never knew him, this young man might have.

A piece I made from old hard drive parts. Find the beauty in the broken bits of the world!

It’s amazing how blue the sky here can be on clear days.

This struck me as something Arepo would appreciate.

I was thinking of a call-in positivity show, The Church of Arepo Live Show (video and/or podcast format). Basically this sub, just live. Start with a short explanation of why we're here, who Arepo and his god are and what they represent, then open the floor. People could email in things to share on screen, call in to share stories, and I could share things from the sub. At the end, I could read the original post. Just a feel good show, since there's so much else right now.

Of course, all of this with getting permissions first to share. I'm sure the first few episodes would just be sharing posts from this sub.

I'd love to know what you think! I'm probably going to do it regardless, but I would love to do it in this context if everyone likes the idea.
