The day after the 2016 presidential election, I began composing a book of "post-election poems" I called The Flavor of Unity, which I published at lulu.com. One of the poems, titled "Nest Filled," describes how a bird builds a nest 'to fill with the future.' I send 900 copies of the book in all directions--to the Women's March in D.C. for January 21, to Texas, Ohio, Utah, California, and overseas. It happened that copies I sent to Orion magazine caused the editors there to choose the poem "Nest Filled" for a broadside insert in their 35th anniversary issue, graced by a drawing of a bird nest by Davis Te Selle. And this good luck for the poem caused me to make this little film out of gratitude to my friends and fellow citizens seeking the flavor of unity for our nation, and for Earth.
