Silent Bunny

In the woods, hoping the earth will be saved How to begin. Always a question, now made more difficult by everything that has happened. So many words written about so many awful actions, people, events, kidnappings, murders. A list of unthinkable acts, and listing them is the banality of evil at its best. Or the…… Continue reading Silent Bunny

I Can

How far in the future do we need to be to look back I wasn’t going to write about protesting anymore but… Then someone told me that my diary of sorts, my record of protesting in late winter and spring meant something to them. I don’t know whether to believe it or not. But it…… Continue reading I Can

the cacophony of trauma

Already, a new month.  I wake up with strange dreams and things I want to say. I go through self doubt and remember or recreate horrible times. And when I get to the page, there is nothing. It all seems pointless. Who am I speaking to anyway? No one cares, not really.  It’s too easy…… Continue reading the cacophony of trauma

Protesting, Week 20 – or Like Sands Through the Hourglass

one grain helps make a pearl It hasn’t even been six months of going out to protest, and I am wondering what is the point of it all.

Protesting, Week 18 – or Piano for Elephants

“There once was a note, pure and easy…” What to say about protesting today? Endless. Elephants who have been abused and overworked go to sanctuaries, if they are lucky. Sorry creatures, who have had their tusks ripped out, their bones bruised, skin scabbed and sore. They are exhausted and fearful. There, people are kind to…… Continue reading Protesting, Week 18 – or Piano for Elephants

Protesting, Week 13 – or How to Prepare for the Police State

I don’t think canned goods will help… I can’t focus. And yet the news keeps coming. Last weekend, I felt exhausted and threatened. This is a good frame of mind to wash dishes, or look out at the sea. I’m impatient, frustrated, angry – then “Let It Be” comes on the radio, and I’m transported…… Continue reading Protesting, Week 13 – or How to Prepare for the Police State

It

Exhaustion, anger, depression – and getting up again It. Must stop saying it. Standing in for all the things I think and want to say. My brain whirling too fast to describe what it is. Perhaps it – or my sense of time moving too fast, or the endless sorting and pattern matching of observation…… Continue reading It

New Moon

In the darkness you move by feel New Moon Today is a new moon. Recently – as in the past couple of years – all the new and full moons have felt the same. No, that’s wrong. They have all been intense. Maybe the full moons felt unstoppable, as though you were being pushed towards…… Continue reading New Moon
