Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 10/10/22 “Atlanta Pride Parade”

Posted on by Neal Saye

Marveling as about 100,000 of our friends joined HR and me at the 2022 Atlanta Pride Parade yesterday.

Sen. Raphael Warnock showed up, accompanied by his fellow Georgia senator and friend Jon Ossoff …

As did gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams …

Side-note: There were about a dozen other candidates present, all Democrats, for various state and local offices. But there wasn’t a Republican candidate to be found. Not one. No Gov. Brian Kemp. No Herschel Walker. I wonder why.

May we all drive on toward full equality.

Walking to beautiful Forsyth Park here in Savannah, HR and I came upon this old Spanish Moss-covered tree we had passed many a time before.

But this time, the tree beckoned us over.

“What,” I asked, still not sure what was going on.

“Why do you all walk past me, ignoring me, disrespecting me? I have been here long before any of you arrived.”

And for the first time in, well, forever, I saw the tree as a living being. A fellow creature on planet earth.

A tree who “sees and understands.”

Marveling at two poetic views of peace …

THE ROCK CRIES OUT TO US TODAY

Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely made proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of waste upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study war no more.
Come, clad in peace and I will sing the songs
The Creator gave to me when I
And the tree and stone were one. — Maya Angelou

Yes, it’s yet another Savannah-in-bloom posting. Like nothing blooms anywhere but in Savannah. But I simply MUST share this post with you.

Walking out to my own Washington Square, I saw …

Huh? What?

Someone had taken the time and made the effort to pick up fallen camellia blossoms and arrange them thusly.

And around benches.

So cool. See how the blossoms fall?

Someone’s work made marveling so easy.

Colorful, marvelous Monday to you all.
