Current Earthquake Activity and Aftershocks

I took this pic yesterday afternoon in the park across the street then sent it to Facebook. I decided not to post it here until today because yesterday's theme was about Trump along with other injustices that are playing out across the country and the world. (No need to elaborate)

This morning my friend Lee, who goes back to my High School days, left this message on my Facebook wall: "You look like a Peacock."

Whoa!

There have only been three times I was guided to pose like that. The first time was on a trip to the Catskill mountains with friends Alexander and Anna standing in front a tree with 36 white flowers. The second time was in Egypt. Though it just seemed like the 'thing to do at the time' I never understood why ... until today.

Peacock is also the Phoenix death and rebirth - 'she who rises from the ashes'.
