That's me from WAY back in 1982, playing with a band called ETV. This is from the Lost Horizon in Syracuse, NY. Aside from myself, there were two other singer/songwriters in the group, all vying for space. It produced some solid power-pop with a lot of energy and good harmonies.

An image of the abandoned Erie Canal in Warners, NY. I snapped this shot in early June 2026. In "On The Air", Brownie walked by this on his journey westward along the towpath. The difference was that the sky was a flat cloudless gray, and not sunny. What did he hear?

The Pt. Reyes Muted I love this particular subject. The boat has been slowly deteriorating for as long as I can remember. I first shot this boat years ago and tend to stop every time I go out to Point Reyes. pixels.com/featured/the... #ThePtReyesMuted #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt

The Pt Reyes Muted

The old Point Reyes fishing boat rests on a quiet sandbar like a forgotten relic, its weathered hull bleached to soft grays that feel almost ghostly against the muted sky. Around it, the landscape still holds its natural color—subtle greens, warm earth tones, and the cool shimmer of water—creating a gentle contrast that draws your eye back to the boat’s cracked wood, peeling paint, and the slow, dignified decay that tells the story of years spent surrendering to tide, wind, and time.

Let Me Keep My Distance oil on paper 13.5 x 19 Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers.- MARY OLIVER Get the art: www.lolajovan.com/store/p846/a... #art #painting #landscapeart #abstractart #impressionist #seascape Story-ALTtext⬇️

An impressionist landscape painting

The quote continues:

“Let me keep company always with those who say
"Look!" and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.”

It is becoming a habit to mindfully curate whose voices (actual voices, words, images, songs) I allow into my little world.

Somehow it feels extra critical right now to keep tabs on what gets in, then sniff out and banish what isn't helpful.
I like to think there is an ejector seat button right here at my fingertips - and I use it liberally. Mute? Yep. Block? No problem. Delete? Yes please. Invite? Carefully. Accept? With caution. The rain barrel of my psyche is close to full with all the things it can handle with grace. And I know all too well what happens when that barrel overflows - it ain't pretty.

I've noticed many of us asking "how do I?" with respect to the world situation (and how that situation trickles or pours or floods into our towns and neighborhoods). Perhaps it is different for each of us, what works and what does not. Here is one article I found helpful: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260312-nine-tips-to-help-you-cope-during-turbulent-times .

I'd love to know what is working (and what isn't) in your world - maybe our combined compassion and kindness can come up with a plan?
