Red Brick Poetry

We all need to take steps to pray. Maybe we pray all the time maybe we don’t. Maybe it’s intermittent. Maybe you think it’s bunk.
Maybe you meditate.
I believe your life matters.
I can’t listen to everyone that comes by or pray for all of you individually but I can give you a chance to physically express yourselves in prayer.
I made a mini prayer line. Feel free to say a prayer, then tie a strip of cloth that represents your prayer on the line and commit it.
The steps are a backdrop on purpose.
This is the first iteration of this idea.
I put the first one on.
I’m working on providing cloth later so for now you’ll need to bring one.

In addition to books and literature I am a flag lover. There will be a parade of different flags leading up to July 4th.
Today’s flag? I’m very excited to say I finally was able to purchase this one and I’m ultra geeked.
This is a replica of the
1st Pennsylvania Rifles Flag.
These guys were certified badasses.

Noted for their unique rifles and ability to shoot double the distance of the standard muskets with extreme accuracy. There were 9 companies and they served at 11 battles between 1775-1783. They started as light infantry then became special services—some of the first in our military history.
Their slogan was Domari Nolo— I will not be subjugated.

Thank for your support and generosity with this project. The mini food pantry is packed and we’ve got a lovely selection of books.
From now until after July 4th there will be copies of the Declaration of Independence in the libraries and poetry box so please take a copy and have a read.
We read it out loud as a family every 4th.

The garden is really in full bloom. I love Spiderwort!

Great day for a poem! It’s quite a robust offering out there right now from summer poems, to Father’s Day, to gardening poems, to poems on regret and nature and the poetry books themselves are varied. It will be in there the next few weeks.

There’s a nice selection of Poetry Magazines in the box. Please help yourselves!

It's Satan's armpit out there.
Can't wait for it to go back to ACTUAL May temps this week.

It’s a tooth nibbling kinda day.

Two things:

1) I have a subscription to Poetry mainly to put in the box for yinz so make sure you take a copy from the box 😁

2) The Red Brick Library needs kids books please 📚

Thanks!
