The Shutter and the Sentence

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring a ling, hear them ring Soon it'll be Christmas day

- “Silver Bells”

Dear People of America, 

Let’s respect other people’s humanity.

Let’s respect other people’s work and livelihoods.

Let’s respect other people’s beliefs.

Let’s stop letting race, gender, ethnicity, etc. divide us.

Let’s care about other people’s families just like we care about our own and do our best to keep them safe. 

Let’s create and not destroy.

Let’s find the beauty around us and let it sustain us instead of getting consumed by ugliness and despair.

Let’s spread love and kindness, not viruses.

Let’s see God’s amazing love and creativity in each person, even if you don’t believe in God.

Let’s spend more time in nature and less time attacking each other on social media.

Freedom is a gift. Use it wisely. 

Everything we do is a choice. Make good decisions, even when it is hard.

Let’s do better. 

<3 Me
