"One must be honest somewhere. I wish
to be honest in poetry.
With the written word.
Where I can say and cross out
and say over and say around
and say on top of and say in between
and say in symbol, in riddle,
in double meaning, under masks"

I offer you only my deeply affectionate and compassionate thoughts and wish for you only that the strange thing may never fail you, whatever it is, that gives us the strength to live on and on and on with our wounds.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg - @theradr:
May the memories of these children be the revolution that explodes.
That ignites.
That overturns the complacent brutality of this country.
That makes our babies safer.

I am especially thankful for hot showers.
My hot shower required the effort of hundreds of people that I will never meet. Utility workers. Plumbers. Electricians. Their bosses. The people that work for them. A body of individual productivity that results in keeping mine clean. #randomthoughts
