While votes from the U.S. midterm elections are still being counted and the full results of various state races are not entirely certain, what is clear is Americans did not succumb to paranoia or violence as feared, say Stanford researchers. . . According to some scholars, the election felt almost like a return to normalcy: The most vocal election deniers lost, candidates running on extreme platforms failed to resonate with voters . . . fell reasonably within the margins of error. In an election where democracy was on the ballot, it proved to be one that was largely free, fair, and trustworthy.

Distraction . . .

https://medium.com/@contactme.essam/impact-of-distractions-in-our-daily-lives-1911019c8a70

 . . . but a 'good' distraction.

This wonderful song appears on Black & White Then Back from way back in 2013, by permission of the talented Doug Alan Wilcox. I met Doug through associations with theBaltimore Songwriters Association, Songwriters' Association of Washington and the Brewer's Alley Songwriters' Showcase. After performing with Doug at the Frederick Coffee company (2012?) I fell in love with this song. So I promptly added it to the list for my forthcoming (at the time) album. A live (at home) performance of the tune is posted here.

            Ambience & Wine

Depends . . .

. . . upon what you're measuring

https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/4-powerful-

methods-to-reach-financial-success-in-life/

                                                     

To laugh often and much; 

To win the respect of intelligent people and 

the affection of children; 

To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure 

the betrayal of false friends; 

To appreciate beauty; 

To find the best in others; 

To give of one's self; 

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, 

a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and 

sung with exultation; 

To know even one life has breathed easier because you 

have lived - 

This is to have succeeded.

 --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

            Another Shot

Meteors . . .

 

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/30/threat-to-earth-posed-by-

meteors-must-be-taken-seriously-nasa-warns.html

Meteors that come once a year;

Quite a show of fireworks 

When you’re there to see them.

Shooting stars fantastically glow.

All too soon no one can say

Where they are or gone to.

Back on earth we average reside.

Most of us will never know such adoration.

So I go my ordinary way.

Do my job and feed my kids;

This world and wonder.

Dust and gas -

That’s what they’re made of.

Why all the fascination?

Fabulous! They’ll take your breath away.

They will dazzle with their style 

And their savoir faire.

Improvise; they make their own moves.

All the cattle follow close 

Behind from the pasture.

Why couldn’t I be

One among those many millions?

Why can’t someone see

My astrological worth?

What causes the sea

Of heavenly bodies to glow like they do?

Shining so brightly for me and for you.

Sooner or later they burn themselves out

But oh so beautifully.

Meteors have nothing to fear.

From their distant firmament

They shine for the masses.

Safe above, removed from earthly life,

From uncertainty that lines the 

Cloth of our mortal existence.
