We share this planet with 7.5 BILLION people. As only one person among those 7.5 billion, I sometimes feel like nothing I do matters. I wake up nearly every morning dreading the news. What new kind of insanity is taking us one step closer to doom? And then I try to remind myself to take at least a small step forward. As one person, that one small step may not make an enormous difference. But add my small action to other people’s small actions and you might get a REVOLUTION. So don’t give up. Vote. Volunteer. Smile. Extend a hand. Educate. Become educated. Run for office. Run. Do yoga. Stand up. Kneel. Video. Write a letter. Make a call. Take a step. Make a difference.

a love story told ~
Many many years ago, a girl met a boy at a bar. All summer long, they drank rum and danced to David Bowie and sang with the Heads. Then summer ended. But the girl didn’t go home. She stayed because like Chaka Khan says “Ain’t Nobody.”
Ain’t nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain’t nobody
Loves me better than you
Happy Anniversary to my love. Happy Birthday to my love.

#FreePress is NOT the Enemy
Just a reminder that Stalin (as well as some other really really horrible people) was fond of using the phrase vrog naroda or “enemy of the people/nation” to describe anyone who didn’t agree with him. Those people often ended up dead or in labor/prison camps. Let’ s hope we’re on a better road than that.
In the meantime, I offer my gratitude to journalists for all the vital work they do.
I also wrote a tanka. It’ s not my best work, but it’s from the heart 😉
Ode to the Dense Speculations & Fools
Dense Speculations
Nurture the Lie of Fake News
And Starve the Free Press
And Too Soon, Fools We Become
If We Lack Will to Resist
My opinions are mine alone but I do want to add my Writing Prompts thanks to Ronavan Writes and Putting my Feet in the Dirt
