Is there anything,
more satisfying than to
help others achieve?
--------------------------
Willows in the wind,
gently swaying back and forth,
like sleepy dancers.
--------------------------
As the years went by,
he could not forget her eyes;
so filled with kindness.
-------------------------
A remote sand dune,
hides a young couple in love,
from all ... but one dog.
-----------------------------
With a gleeful squeal,
the little girl in the park,
discovered the slide.
-----------------------------
Saw a sign today,
That said 'Stand Up MRIs' ...
"Take my x-rays ... please."
--------------------------
Walking through the woods,
I find a weathered birdhouse,
nailed onto a tree.
--------------------------
The sun was shining
as he stumbled to his bed,
the first draft finished.
-------------------------
He flipped through pages
of sad poetry before
finding his haiku.
--------------------------
He meditates, then
'dissolves into his being.'
(Don't wake him from naps!)
----------------------------
The confused tourist:
"Don't they speak French in Paris?"
Tour Guide: "We're in Minsk."
-----------------------------
We're on a spaceship
traveling through time. Can we
stop to buy ice cream?

Here's an animation video I made promoting the Feb. 23rd fundraiser that I am working on, which is called, 'The Best Medicine' ... Check it out, the 'actors' are masters of deadpan delivery.
It's amazing what you can find on the internet, these days. I stumbled upon this website called xtranorml, and it lets you create your own animated videos with computerized voices, and everything. The only trouble is, the vocal inflections are sometimes a bit weird and getting the voices to pronounce certain words correctly. For example, they had a heck of time pronouncing 'Spondylitis' until I figured out that I had to spell it for them as 'Spon dee light us'... It is the 21st century, we've sent men to the moon, now even idiots like me can make animated videos. LOL
The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2
Events: Heavy gunfire is occuring around the area of the U.S. Embassy and residential compounds adjacent to the Trutier area of Tabarre. All Embassy personnel have been instructed to remain indoors and shelter-in-place until further notice. All others should avoid the area.
Actions to take:
Avoid the area;
Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO
BREAKING: Three loss prevention employees in Macy’s across the street from Philadelphia City Hall stabbed, one of them has died from stab wounds, @PhillyPolice sources tell me. Police converged on the store as the three workers were rushed to Jefferson Hospital. pic.twitter.com/4U1eKycL4W
You don’t get it.
It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.
It’s all about how for 75 years you have destroyed the future of generations of Palestinians, including my family.
My cousins in Arab countries are still not citizens - not even the… https://t.co/nv6anubGhc
It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.
The lack of a cohesive delegation has allowed attention-seeking lawmakers to act on their own.
McCarthy: “You have [Rep. Matt] Gaetz, who belongs in jail…”
Gaetz: “Tough words from a guy who sucker punches people in the back. The only assault I committed was against Kevin’s fragile ego.”https://t.co/LctPuz6Pcf
"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

I love your haikus but damn.
I am really impressed with this cartoon and its message and your charitable works.
I cannot believe you put this together in an hour; you spent time on this!
Again, well done.
