Yesterday I started a new blog on here. It will be mostly political--a kind of outgoing diary of all the fucked up stuff happening right now. But I realized how much I love writing again. I re-discovered my inner writer and the stuff started flowing. So I have decided to breathe life into this blog again and resurrect it so I can have another for non-political things: Poetry (though some of that may turn political), random writings about things going on, what I am currently reading, funny stories about my cats. Stuff like that.
So if you want all about what I am thinking politically there is "My Journey to Resistance". If you need a break then you could come over here and see what stuff I have shared.
Here is a poem to get us started:
A Greater Strength
Flashes of light and sound.
They bring me around to a sudden startle.
I turn all around wanting reassurance this is a good thing
but all I see is lightning piercing the dark,
Once I was sitting by a lake
and a beaver was swimming.
I started to sing some random song
and the beaver started swimming towards me.
Probably coincidence but I felt powerful--
like part of a greater whole.
Today I need that lesson
to remind myself I am not on a solo journey.
I have people who love me
I have a community of good souls
who want the best for this world.
Like singing to the beaver
I can be magic.
