Stormy Weathers and Family Jewels
A crown is merely a hat that lets the rain in.
—Frederick the Great (1712-1786)

King Frederick II, by Anna Dorothea Therbusch, 1772
Stormy Weathers and Family Jewels
Inspired by Frederick the Great (1712-1786)'s quote, "A crown is merely a hat that lets the rain in." The titled responsion is to take some serious gonads when royalty is involved.
Whether or not we are talking about the climate or the storms that lie ahead, challenges and chaos are a certainty. False idols, like all shiny objects, are not worth chasing. Then I thought about the sunshine, shining down on humanity as the source of life that sustains this planet. Can we at least agree on the sun of Goodness? Do you see what I'm saying?
