~Understanding begins, but does not end, with the act of perception~

"Welcome to your life.."

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was ALWAYS some OBSTACLE in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

Shut Up

 Tonight-

A week after I put down my best love of 200 plus Dog years

After Roe v Wade gets tossed

After almost a decade of raising a girl child and Myself

After however many years of pandemic, and war and discourse and death-

Some asshole I probably know revs his fucking big dick fast car engine down the main drag of my small southern charm town at eleven o’clock at night.


SHUT UP!!!!!




I-literally-cry into the night. 

“THERE ARE WOMEN MOURNING, HERE…”

You wouldn’t rev your damn engine at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem would you???

Jesus…



Tonight-

Every night 

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE  

There are Women-

YourMotherYourSisterYourAuntandGrandmother 

                             And Your Daughter…


All.

Crying into the night. 

SOMEWHERE SOMEONE IS MOURNING.

So Be Quiet!

Anything else is Disrespect.
