To all and particularly
Francie, you have gold and more. I was online when you first posted - so true, so beautiful, so vulnerable - in helpless glory I almost cried. I am familiar with depleted uranium issues, babies, war vets, land, markets. It is what it is. And your empathy is a great gift - it is just not easy to see the terrible hard things with big open hearts. Nothing can change without it being seen first, thus.
Anyway, I am here because you are here too. So, this first post-back is for you. I still don't like a paid forum but I ponied up $5 for the month to tell you. And I missed everyone in this messy din of creative energies. So, I'm going to argue and love and learn for a month again. My belief is that an inclusive system is more self-correcting, fair. It's not about the worth of a cup of coffee. It's about standing with the voiceless. That was my principle, which is broken now.
'Like the freon gold out the hotel room
on the white rocket fade over cape canaveral
you've been a daughter to me, your buried shoebox grief
i felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
while the waterfall was pouring
crazy symbols of my destiny
i watched your face die backwards little baby in my memory
you told me victory is sweet deep in the cheap seats."
- Conor Oberst, 'Cape Canaveral'
