we imagined we were made of #precious metals in this plastic world. it helped us stay true. they were filled with hate and nonsense. we were focused on connection and only used our drones to open eyes and hearts to bigger landscapes. hope was absent but we pressed on. #vss365
Thanks and hi
on the walk
I saw him #bonny lad
standing proud
long black hair brown skin
facing south
it took me by surprise
2 realize it was you
my old friend
conjuring
so I know
you are well

"When Adults Wage War... Children Perish." -Elie Wiesel Shows a photo of a lone young girl’s shoe
Found a #bonny moment
Lost in between
Our futile wars
Afraid
It was in the form
Of a wee shoe
One of a girl
Still growing
Stopped in her tracks
Like a bolt of #lightening
Struck all her future steps
Running in place until her grave
This War Doth Made

Yes, people want their basic needs met.
Dylan did what he always did when things got tough, or too hard to cope with, with feelings, especially. He returned to Magpie’s embrace, took to the void, and listened to the #harmony of the stars.
The white noise hissed from speakers as Dylan drifted, controlling his incandescent fury.

when the skies are shabby #lightning when the skin is flabby the shops are closed the conversations gabby. when you're feeling tired and need a spark and lost your way in pitch dark #vss365
Did you notice Trump didn't take off his fucking hat when the dead soldiers went by? And, just BTW, what's wrong with Pete Hegseth, calling enlisted men and women just trying to do their jobs "warfighters?" That's comic book shit, man.

Looking out the window, I am thinking again that water on glass is my favorite #jewelry.
"I love the rain," you say, your breath the angel gray of a found feather, of a new day, of shower steam.
I am thinking again that I would let you kiss all the places where an enemy would put a blade.

the only #jewelry she wore was a necklace made from the watch chain from a boy who loved her. the tags of all her animals who she had and lost played a song on her sternum #vss365
this is IMHO the best account of the whole tragic tale but its coupled with the incredible spirit of some of them who went back over the sierras several times to rescue the ones remaining. I love this book
two truths played out over time. controlling and drowning her like some imperial imperative. love bombing supportive when she fell apart - again. the relationship died a hundred deaths only to be reanimated. finally she detached. #magnanimous letting go was the answer #vss365
when working my intensity blurs at times like a #cataract I guess it's just all these years on earth I've been so lucky to have. from this opaque coordinate my spirit becomes my greatest sense. i lean into it. coffee helps too #vss365
No more forever wars.
I love that. I miss you. if you ever wanna get coffee or tea let me know. or just talk on the phone. I miss you! you are my friend.
This looks gorgeous, Eric. 😁
there was nothing opulent nothing of #splendor there. a table. a chair. the walls were bare. some natural light. these were the conditions I demanded to work. oh. and a lock on every door. #vss365
nice finds
‘Soul Music’ by Terry Pratchett
‘The Wind in the Willows’, by Kenneth Grahame
Two more finds on the second-han stalls!
‘Soul Music’, by Pratchett. Dustcover is battered, but the book is fine, and
A 1973 edition of ‘The Wind In The Wiilows’, which looks great condition.
50p each. 50 pence each! 😱

I’m hanging upside down
From the dusty beams
In the mind of my head
Come & find me only if
You dare to climb the stairs
Without any steps
& not afraid of the dark
Don’t be #timid be brave
I’m just a 5ft 1 lady creature
Some might say from Venus
But I reckon Mars
that's exciting. good for u. caffeine is a hard one to break.
she was #timid yet she needed to survive so she did outrageous things for them. the laughter music and champagne mollified iniquity. before she died she wrote a book and made them pay. #VirginiaGiuffre was her name.
@gmarierland.bsky.social I just published this bio of my FIL. it's all about Hood and the Delta and an immigrant story from Mexico in the 1940s. I think you might really like it if you are reading these days. -Kat
yummm. thank you my dear sister. I know I struggled to learn how to lead a team on Northgate but it was great fun learning and trying (RST). I miss it (a little). I miss seeing you across from my desk and talking about clients and writing groups too. let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
one request
take me with you
on your #quest
I will make your coffee
b4 the rising sun
interpret maps and stars
with you
when the day
is done

came back from dying #obsessed with living came back from lying obsessed with honesty came back from apathy obsessed with trying feeling crying. to hell with all that self-pitying immolation and dying #vss365
#vss365 #poetry #prose
Love came along the sun rose over Jupiter Saturn & Mars
But it came back from the dark side of the moon
My smile then swallowed by a blackhole—whole
Clouds tried to harpoon me into clear skies but even the shear #velocity of my minds heart speed, can’t bust me out
