It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Reading an old anthology, I was struck by a few poems by Ellen de Young Kay. A student of Yvor Winters, I learned, whose chapbook SIXTEEN POEMS appeared in 1955. Soon after, she seemed to have vanished… Actually, she had become Sister Ellen Stephen. And she still writes.
"...actually the world mostly gets changed through collective effort. Thich Nhat Hanh said before he died a few years ago that the next Buddha will be the Sangha. The Sangha, in Buddhist terminology, is the community of practitioners."

Fish, I appreciate you Once when my sister was crying, a gentle school of tiny fishes kissed her feet. We were sitting on a dock at the time, our dad had just died. Thank you, Fish.

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

Absolutely infuriating. These grotesque, morally bankrupt men have broken this country.
