Flower . . .

https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/item/what-is-the-largest-flower-in-the-world

Wishing upon a star
Takes me so very far.
Just don’t play around with my heart.
You must take special care
Not to damage or tear
Just the smallest little part.

Sometimes I’m not too clear
What is this thing that I fear.
It’s so difficult to describe.
How can something unknown
Make me feel so alone.
I should be the bigger man
But I clearly won’t.

I’m just a sensitive flower.
I’m such a sensitive soul.
I’m just a sensitive flower.
So I’ve been told.

Maybe the way I react
Lacks some refinement or tact.
I just do the best that I can.
Sometimes we’re out in a crowd
Full of opinion so loud.
I go back inside of my shell.

No matter how very hard
I try to change how I behave.
I just can’t seem to please
All the people even half the time.
Do you think that I can be saved?

In this state of affairs
Don’t get caught unawares.
Just be cognizant of what’s there.
Why do those who can’t see
Think that some vision can’t be
Advantageous to possess
For someone like me.

The Not Very . . .

. . . horrible early musings of Alexander Hamilton

https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/76549/HAMILTONS-INVADERS-

HORRIBLE-HAMILTON-SPRING-MOTOR-INSECT-TOY

(from Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow)

". . . Nevertheless, he felt obliged to condemn the lawless nature of the action: In times of such commotion as the present, while the passions of men are worked up to an uncommon pitch, there is great danger of fatal extremes. The same state of the passions which fits the multitude, who have not a sufficient stock of reason and knowledge to guide them, for opposition to tyranny and oppression, very naturally leads them to a contempt and disregard of all authority. The due medium is hardly to be found among the more intelligent. It is almost impossible among eh unthinking populace. When the minds of these are loosened from their attachment to ancient establishments and courses, they seem to grow giddy and and are apt more or less to run into anarchy. . . "

Rooms & Surroundings . . .

https://www.shutterstock.com/search/surround

The concept of a law of attraction goes back at least to Confucius in the 6th century BC, who wrote one of the first quotes about surrounding yourself with good people: “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.”

(from Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency by Michael Wolff)

". . . "Are these lawyers the stupidest?" Trump fumed on the phone to anyone who wold listen. "Are they the stupidest?" . . . (Bruce) Castor sat in the Mercedes G Wagon waiting to go to the Capitol for a walk-through and to meet the Republican Senate staff. In addition, there were a Jeep Ribicon and a Range Rover waiting to take the new team to the Senate trial. Castor was still wounded because the Trump guys on the ground wouln't let him drive his beloved Corvette to the Capitol door. That was how he had imagined it happening. That was one reason he'd taken the case: that image. "The Corvette is me. It's like buy business card." . . . "

Here . . .

https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMKF25_You_are_here_

Map_Wilhelmsplatz_Bad_Cannstatt_Germany_BW

I’ve never been one to follow trends.

I won’t be with the crowd

When they round the bend.

But I’ll be here until the very end

‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

Fancy parties leave me cold and drained,

Discos, crowds and posturing in vain

Only feed some silly appetite unnamed.

Where it’s at is here with you.

I don’t want to see the moon,

Fly to Paris, May or June. I just want a one-way fare

To anyplace where you’ll be there.

I don’t need gold or precious things,

Fancy clothes or even diamond rings.

I just want the thrill that being with you brings.

‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

For fame or power, I have no desire.

I don’t crave acceptance, or to be admired.

I’m just happy sitting with you by the fire.

Where it’s at is here with you.

Never . . .

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/never-again.html

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/27/opinion/adam-kinzinger-jan-6-committee.html By Adam Kinzinger, a Republican United States representative from Illinois and thanks to Frank Diventi)

". . . On Jan. 6, hundreds of our fellow citizens stormed the U.S. Capitol, armed and ready for battle. For hours, broadcast live on television and streamed on social media, rioters attacked law enforcement and eventually breached the halls of Congress in an effort to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election. . . Their goal was to subvert America’s democratic process — and their means to this end was brute force and violent assaults on the men and women of the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department. . . How did this happen? Why? Who spurred this effort? Was it organized? When did our government leaders know of the impending attacks and what were their responses? What level of preparation or warnings did our law enforcement have? Was there coordination between the rioters and any members of Congress, or with staff? . . . We need answers and we need accountability, and the only way to get that is a full investigation and understanding of what happened to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. . . "
