“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.” * John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent * These glorious summer sunsets remind me of Steinbeck’s words. * And I suddenly remembered how Steinbeck wrote about the abuses faced by people that came to America chasing a better life but without papers. And how yet again, our society is vilifying undocumented immigrants. When I read it in the mid 90s, I remember thinking how antiquated the idea seemed. I was blindly confident that we no longer lived in an America that turns its back on people. * If you read down this far, thank you. I know this departs from the usual IG topics. But it’s what came to mind when I watched last night’s sunset. Be good to each other. Remember that love unites us and hate divides us. * * #mommyblogger #fortbirthday #loveyourneighbor #momoftwins #twinboys #twinmom #sunsets #steinbeck #toddlermom #toddlertwins #nowisthewinterofourdiscontent #pinksky #junenights #tredavonriver #oaktrees #chesapeakebay #easternshore #mindfulliving (at Washington, District of Columbia)
