Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

🤍 Rain. My photos are part of my mindfulness practice. Getting out of the head and into the moment, is a humbling challenge. Yet, mindfulness helps us accept life as it is in that moment and even embrace the beauty in it. Hope my photos help you, too.
