Isn't that the truth?
Spent last week in Santa Cruz. I didn't open my NYT app once. I didn't play on my phone and I mostly stayed offline. I'm refreshed. Highly recommend. #takingabreak

I read this poem by Denise Levertov this morning. It was first published in 1982, and it could have been written yesterday. #poetry #BlueSkyPoets #poems #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #SkyPoets #POETRY #Authors
My Sunday Substack post contained a poem I wrote after the Supreme Court took away the right for a woman to choose what to do with her own body. They want us to be quiet. I will not be quiet. #poets #poetry #BlueSkyPoets #resistTrump #pro-choice
