Handsome in Pink


Pictured above is one of the millions of men who stood in solidarity today with women in the Women's March movement – a movement that saw hundreds of marches take place on all seven continents, including Antarctica. These marches were aimed at both protesting U.S. President Donald Trump’s positions and statements on women’s rights, immigration, the environment, and climate change and offering hope and alternatives to Trump's political agenda and to what has been described as his "sordid immorality" – his bigotry, ignorance, misogyny, and vulgarity.

This handsome young man in a pink scarf was one of an estimated 100,000 people who gathered today on the grounds of the Minnesota State Capitol for the Minnesota Women's March. His girlfriend was also present . . . as was the Leveret – "fierce feminists" all!

Unexpected Snow


Writes Max Angus: "As an artist, I try to capture 'that' moment in time that makes your heart jump. The light in the trees. The weather. The pleasure of timeless British holidays by the sea. North Norfolk and its nature reserves. The way home. The wild birds and everything around me that pleases."

The Privileged Lovers


The moon has become a dancer
at this festival of love.
The dance of light,
this sacred blessing,
this divine love
beckons us
to a world beyond
only lovers can see
with their eyes of fiery passion.

They are the chosen ones
who have surrendered.
Once they were particles of light
now they are the radiant sun.
They have left behind
the world of deceitful games.
They are the privileged lovers
who create a new world
with their eyes of fiery passion.

Jalal al-Din Rumi
(translated by Deepak Chopra and Fereydoun Kia)
