I realize that pub crawls are all the rage, but I truly feel as though there could be an immense market for library crawls, bakery crawls, museum crawls, bookstore crawls, and greenhouse crawls.

Sunset ducks, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. August 12, 2021, 8:01 PM. #sunset #hiking #nature #lake

We are looking over leafy green shrubs along the shore of a large lake. There are around 30 ducks in the lake, swimming, diving for food, one standing on the tiny tip of a mostly submerged rock. The far shore is mostly wooded except for a small cluster of houses. The post sunset sky has turned vivid soft pink and violet. This is mirrored on the lake surface below, rippled gently by soft breezes and the wakes of swimming waterfowl.

Virologist/molecular biologist Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal altered the trajectory of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. First to clone HIV-1 & complete its genetic mapping, directly leading to life-saving antiviral drug cocktails. Most-cited female scientist of the 1980s. Born #OTD in 1946. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white portrait of Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal (1946–2020), the pioneering Chinese-American virologist who first cloned HIV-1 and mapped its genome. Sitting in her research laboratory, she faces forward with a composed, direct, and confident expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she wears long, slender dangling earrings. Over a dark, patterned blouse, she wears a crisp white laboratory coat. She rests her left forearm on a lab counter beside her, while her right hand holds a dark binder resting on her lap. The background shows a busy lab setting filled with shelves of scientific glassware, chemical bottles, and equipment, all slightly out of focus to draw attention to her. The composition places her slightly off-center, capturing an professional and scholarly mood that underscores her historical significance as a leading figure in molecular biology during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Titled "Lake with Cypress" and was created by French artist Camille Bombois (1883-1970).

This oil-on-canvas painting captures a serene, sun-drenched river or lake flanked by towering cypress and deciduous trees, rendered with rich textures and delicate brushwork characteristic of French artist Camille Bombois. The composition draws the eye down a shimmering water channel where the soft afternoon light reflects across the ripples and lily pads, creating a tranquil, luminous atmosphere. In the distant background, hazy blue hills and hints of a small hillside structure evoke the peaceful, idyllic countryside of a classic European landscape.

We Have Enough Dead Friends
by Lena Oleanderson

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat’s a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don’t have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living’s been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn’t have to be that bad,
it doesn’t have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don’t have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I’m on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating’s been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.

David Wagoner, from more than a half century of Julys ago

Poem by David Wagoner: “Lost”

The text reads:

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

Rain Light
by W.S. Merwin

All day the stars watch from long ago
my mother said I am going now
when you are alone you will be all right
whether or not you know you will know
look at the old house in the dawn rain
all the flowers are forms of water
the sun reminds them through a white cloud
touches the patchwork spread on the hill
the washed colors of the afterlife
that lived there long before you were born
see how they wake without a question
even though the whole world is burning
.
.
.

This poem appeared in The Shadow of Sirius by W.S. Merwin, published by Copper Canyon Press, 2008. Shared here with profound gratitude.

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. - Albert Camus #Poetry 💙📚👀

Within Me

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.

In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that...

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me,

within me, there's something stronger something better, pushing right back. -
