What has moved you today? Caused you joy, anger, sadness, happiness, exasperation, or glee?

moi:

*a pile of cat hork on the kitchen counter

*a riot of pink tulips

*Domino the Cat, sitting under Russel's car, waiting for me to pull away so he could run up onto the porch and get his breakfast

*a blue heron in flight

*driving through a fresh, green tunnel -- about five miles on Suitland Parkway, two lanes lined on both sides by tall, dense green trees in full spring leaf

*the National Mall littered with detritus from yesterday, and NPS workers cleaning up

*five male mallards sitting in a row near a small city pond

*a wonderful email stating my boss is working from home today :bounce:

1. Coverage

The lack of coverage of the march yesterday. Over one million people show up in Washington to march for a cause and there is no national news media even giving it a slight mention today on the news. No wonder the average American still thinks Bush is a great leader. This is so wrong, it is just stunning.

2. I wish I could see it from that perspective, Upfront, but

living in the DC area, I find it's all over the news, last night as well as this morning. They covered it on NPR. That's national. But I know that's also not surprising.

8. I saw coverage here in Arkansas this morning as well.

Granted, it's probably not as prominent as we would like to see but it was coverage none-the-less.

6. The pictues Denman linked from the march

that were taken by Marty. Especially tne one with the United Methodist sign. It moved me and made me proud! Wish I could have been there!

7. The over 1.2 million women and men standing up for our rights at the mall.

I watched on CSPAN. I couldn't go. But I was very moved. And then I saw the pictures from both skinner and EricG, and I had to laugh. Apparenly 16 pro lifers got arrested for protesting without a permit. That was great. And I think I love Tyne Daly even more now than I already did. Now all I can say is I WANT ONE OF THOSE Hot Pink TSHIRTS!!

10. arrested for protesting w/out a permit = censorship

That's what the guy said. What a moran.

11. Something horrible

I was driving on the freeway/expressway, and saw a green-headed mallard sitting at the side of the road. The duck was actually on the tarred shoulder. He was looking at his squashed mate. He was waiting for her. I almost cried. I hope they don't mate for life.

12. I'm sorry you saw that

:cry: If I'd seen it, I would have lost my mind for about five minutes. I'm afflicted w/ the inability to shut my heart off from animal suffering.

I'm really sorry you saw that.

[NJCher]

14. me too Bertha

I cry just thinking about it.

18. At one with the Godess was the feeling

I was watering my front yard this morning ,I don't
have a sprinkler so I use that time every morning
for reflexion and peace while holding my hose watering .

This morning a humming bird bathed herself/himsef
in the mist of the hose and hovered for nearly a minute .
at one point was about 2 feet from my face .

I felt so blessed to be gifted with such a treat from
a wild creature living free trusting me to get so close
to me .

:loveya:

20. I'm still reeling from yesterday...

On the front page of the Washington Post was a picture of a 9 year old Iraqi girl who'd been horribly burned during the fighting. Underneath this heart-wrenching photo was an article titled "Bush's Oratory Helps Maintain Support for War".

fuckinay. :cry:

21. My child's teacher

from last year ... a great lady, liberal, smart, caring. They should pay her 3x what she gets. She greeted me warmly and then I just hugged her.
