wild and overwhelmed

 

 

Bathing in the cultural milieu to inform

what art I may have left.

 

 

 

It's not about abortion -- not really. 

It's about the personhood

of the American woman.

 

 

 

Spread better information.  More solution

oriented, future looking.

How can we?, not Why aren’t they?

 

 

 

lack of civility, lack of recognition of the needs

and rights and responsibilities of civic life,

are the problem

Yes, people carry guns and harm none and

feel self-protected and that's fine. It's the

arrogant assholes who have to make their big

threats and statements about how people who are

concerned about their own and public safety ought

to be horribly murdered or otherwise destroyed.

It's those people marching, taking over the streets,

to spread their general disdain for their neighbors,

or their right to spread fear to make it clear

they are in charge

 

 

 

Unintended consequences

-- how our world is run

 

 

 

enough of this anything to get unwilling

Americans vaccinated -- get the vaccines

to all of the people in the world who want

them and those left will die off or find they

have natural immunity,

but the disease will get conquered

 

 

 

 

 

I have been seeing current events and attitudes

unfold in a kind of apocalyptic scape, diminishing

energies for a brave future when the very Earth

is becoming less and less reliable, along with

the political and social and economic traditions

we have come to depend on for consistency

and security.  The result is desperately suicidal.

 

 

 

 

Cynical scammers and the

pitiably ignorant they prey on.

 

 

 

Why is so much of our public discourse

taken over by middle school mean kids

who never grew up?

 

 

 

Winter nights can exude that sacred beauty,

so poignant and wild and overwhelming. 

Cold breath waking primal life. 

Gazing into the stars to welcome

the clear, icy surrounding of spirit. 

Winter blessed.
