Northwest Valley Indivisible says the proposed ICE detention facility in Surprise is paused but not stopped, and that the Mayor and Council met privately with Sen. Gallego about it before recess without telling residents what was said.

The Council meets again August 4. The group wants calls before then asking for a public hearing.

Mayor Kevin Sartor: 623-222-1313. Council: 623-222-1321 to 1326

Stumbling Block

It seems I have always been stumbling, tripping over the unintended in a fog of wandering wonder.

The mist has been ever around me, my cloud by day. I am enveloped by mystery.

You do indeed love to surprise me, O God;

two girls find shiny stones in a fountain and their joy chases away the despair at not finding a loved one,

the hospitality of friends lightens the weight upon a heavy chest from a returning to what was and the traveler can breathe again into what will be,

a mother’s words and the night breeze dries a daughter’s tears and she can smile at the deep thrum of a bullfrog,

lovers lie for a moment in the morning and the frustrations of yesterday fade into the quiet beginnings of another day.

It is time then.

I rise up into the bone crackling morning, my body protesting, my spirit already stretching out along the places I will see.

Inside, I find I am ready for more stumbling.

⬅️Hintenrum: Dieses Mal schauen wir wieder auf die Schlusslichter.

👉Während das beliebteste Juni-Suchwort "Yoga" mit 214 Einträgen ganz vorne mitfährt, rangieren diese Begriffe – mit nur jeweils fünf Einträgen – ganz am Ende der Liste.

😏"Fotografieren" hätten wir gedacht, würde viel öfter gesucht und auf "Baby" wären wir gar nicht gekommen ... "Fahrrad" finden wir richtig gut.

Guys, I literally forgot that I published a story in the anthology "What Lurks in the Dark" just last year.
I, in fact, forgot the story even existed until today.

I added it to my "publish again" list, and will make it a nifty little cover soon. (:

Je ne sais pas comment c’est arrivé là, mais c’est certainement pas le persil que j’avais planté.

Mais c’est joli, donc je garde 😊.

(La reconnaissance automatique des images d’’Apple me dit que c’est une plante comestible. Je sais pas si je vais m’y risquer à goûter )
