longing for downtime
from the vivid hysteria
and the overtone of potential violence
may everydayness return soon

She began to weave dreams for her future, igniting a fire within her heart. With a flip of her hair, gazing at the blue sky, the sun kissed her skin as she held her head high.

I recently saw this image and felt how impactful it could be in this election year. Then I stumbled onto the video, and the connection to the message became even more beneficial. Our nation is in desperate need of healing and especially love.
Spike Lee produced this song three years ago. The message is SPOT ON!
So, spread the love! This year’s election is the most important of all our lifetimes. Please get out and VOTE!!!!

which strand to follow

how to proceed with fabrications
that undermine all credibility
of our reality
no wonder we close our eyes
in confusion
