SPRING VISITS

WHERE GARDENS GROW

IT JUST GETS HARDER

Harder to find a glimmer of hope in the current political moment.
The few Narcissus, struggling along with us on a city windowsill in
hardly any sunlight, will still fulfill it's genetically stated purpose.

EMPIRE on FIRE

.

Since the astounding election just a few days ago I've been holding it together pretty well, encouraging others, posting expressions of grief and comforting friends. Then Leonard Cohen died. I spent time with "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" (film narrated by him), constructed the blog post I posted earlier, and then went for a brisk walk around many blocks after midnight. When I reached Madison Square park, I stopped to take a photograph of the Empire State building lit up red, looking like a fiery fist giving a finger to the sky.

Then I wept.

Story to be Posted October 30th

THERE IS A WALL

I met a woman on the bus - Her name is Eleanor - Here is the wall on Houston Street - We'd both been there before - Two women and a wall that used to be a building once - Two strangers are not strangers anymore.
