Walking on the Moon

This vast expanse of sand without ocean nor lake was a bit eerie, but not totally without life, when I zoomed in close enough.
Just looking at the slight ripples in the sand, and what do I see? Killdeer? No. Willet? No... Aliens coming from the sand?
Turns out these birds saw something in the once-thriving lake/marsh bed. And I learned this is a SemiPalmated Plover & a Sanderling.

Look for small things, small movement... especially while...

Walking on the Moon

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away, no way
And if it's the price I pay, some say
Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away no way
And if it's the price I pay, some say
Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

Pop Stars Made Millions From Russian Oligarchs. Now Some Have Regrets

Before the #conflict, such shows were considered just another part of a high-profile act’s revenue stream. “We knew about them then,” says one source in the #business, who estimates that about “two or three” oligarch-funded shows took place each year. “We knew the background and the wealth. It’s a take-the-money #industry.”

...

Even after #Russia’s initial invasion of #Ukraine in 2014, these secretive performances didn’t let up. In 2016, #Sting and #Lopez played separate sets at the #Moscow wedding of Said Gutseriev, the son of sanctioned Russian billionaire oilman Mikhail #Gutseriev. That #wedding, which cost a reported roughly a billion dollars to put on, included a 12-feet-high wedding cake and a ballroom ceiling covered in flowers; as parting gifts, guests were given jewelry-encrusted boxes. During her set, Lopez half-joked that “the hardest thing I had to do today” was learn how to pronounce the names of the bride and groom.

Pop Stars Made Millions From Russian Oligarchs. Now Some Have Regrets

“Playing for oligarchs and rich people is just fucking gross,” says one musician. “I can’t even believe we did it.”

The other day Sting performed this, acoustic with guitar, bass, and timeliness. 🇺🇦

This haunted me once before, first time round. Now it's like a thunderous ear-worm...

Original song, with lyrics. THE best hope too, IMHO. #truth If 'the people' only knew... "If the Russians love their children too"...

Sting - Dead Man's Rope

Dead Man's Rope

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
But I keep walking, from daybreak Ã,?'til the falling night
And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,

If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

The shadows fall
Around my bed
When the hand of an angel,
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
Now I'm walking in his grace
I'm walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps,
Walking in his footsteps

All the days of my life I will walk with you
All the days of my life I will talk with you
All the days of my life I will share with you
All the days of my life I will bear with you

Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away from anger, walk away from pain
Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain
