According to recent reports
“Oysters, clams
from certain Washington
harvest areas
recalled because of norovirus,”
which is a reminder,
which is yet another reminder,
that this
is not an era of plague,
but an era of plagues.

Rain, New Year's Eve By: Maggie Smith The rain is a broken piano, playing the same note over and over. My five-year-old said that. Already she knows loving the world means loving the wobbles you can't shim, the creaks you can't oil silent-the jerry-rigged parts, MacGyvered with twine and chewing gum. Let me love the cold rain's plinking. Let me love the world the way I love my young son, not only when he cups my face in his sticky hands, but when, roughhousing, he accidentally splits my lip. Let me love the world like a mother. Let me be tender when it lets me down. Let me listen to the rain's one note and hear a beginner's song.

To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
~Mary Oliver

So it turns out you can eat cranberry sauce when it’s not Thanksgiving and nothing happens. You don’t get arrested or anything.

up from underneath
our memories and our fears
of atomic fire
In silence I observe, the universe unfolding…

Fascists and Nazis hate history, and historians; but understand the power of history. Thats why, across the world, they work so hard to control HOW we tell stories about the past, to drive out diverse critical voices and perspectives, to ensure a narrative that makes them look good.

Not abstract—

Kathryn Cowles’ THE STRANGE WONDROUS WORKS OF ELEANOR ELEANOR is truly one of the most beautiful literary forms I’ve read this year. Its subtitle is “A Catalog.”

Unbound.
Attending the self—
until no center holds..
Becoming limitless—
not by expansion,
but by the falling away of edge..
As wind—
moving,
yet nowhere contained.

A circle of light on a canvas of bone; one path through the white, and the mountain, alone.

You sure this wasn't lifted from Mein Kampf? Sounds like Adolf talking about Aryans.
Yup. Siri is turned off on every gadget she infests here.

doubt in our eyes
is so human
can I do this?
am I worthy?
do they like me?
am I a fool?
questions so natural
lead to indecision
frozen by inner fears
but we can
we deserve better
it is not foolish
to strive
to create
to make this
better

this iron pan
helped my grandma
feed her family
in the high Sierras
made thousands of
meals for my mom
in the Midwest
now simmering
creative fusion dishes
in eastern Tidewater
& will go on
with my children
to new adventures
thank you, friend
