Following the #Marchforourlives coverage from around the world on CNN… so many moments one right after another are blowing me away – 

  • the Parkland students poignantly remembering their classmates, 
  • an 11 year old little girl speaking on the main stage in DC voicing the names of black students lost in her school, 
  • Audra Day singing “Rise Up,” 
  • small children in Australia with “Graduation not graves” signs… 
  • thousands and thousands and thousands of people marching, chanting, carrying signs… simple, elegant and I hope, transforming our country.

I took another quiz.  I don’t know much about tarot cards but this sounds about right:

Everyone Has A Tarot Card That Matches Their Personality — Here’s Yours

You got: The Sun
You have a natural vibrance that draws people in. How could you not? You’re positive and optimistic, enthusiastic and warm, energetic and fun. You can be a bit arrogant and have a hard time dealing with more serious situations, but there’s no denying you can make people happy.

Be careful… this is one of those rabbit holes where I went to listen to one song and ended up listening to six! Each one worth a listen. Wow.  And a current version by the band who did the original!
