I really, really like this.
Reminds me of something called Queen Califia’s Magic Circle in Kit Carson Park in Escondido, Ca. http://www.queencalifia.org/ If you are ever in the area it’s worth walking around.

Just watched this interview of Chris Hayes by Ta-Nehisi Coates about Chris Hayes’ book “The Twilight of the Elites”. Brilliant and challenging conversation for this tween brain of mine. It’s long, but IMO worth the time spent.

yea…..
i spread
my leathery thick veined wings
gloss black
over the people
the very people who blindly elected me to this dismal post
i spread them
protective at first and always
over mine
precious warm humans
i take wing among them
dipping low to check
and know
only one thing in my silent night watch
love
but sometimes they scurry
and hide from the cover i provide
only seeing
that it is
dark
and
shadows are terror making things
the bat still shields her babies
but because she hangs upside down, sleeps at day, feeds at night
they say
she is not a good mother
and does not love
feather vs. leather
easier to trust and love
something soft and airy
the bat does her job
regardless of how she feeds
and gives warmth

I love the way nature sneaks up on me with repeating patterns and suggestive shapes. I love when my mind trips over images like this. I love the “Oh…wait…wut?” moments
Plus Felicia Friesema knows things about veggies and fruits.

RIP “Screaming” Mimi
My son’s hamster died last night and this is a picture of her before her burial this morning. I thought this picture was poignant, and peaceful and beautiful in a way. Teaching about death and impermanence is hard and important. I still struggle very much with those concepts. Thanks for many cute and soft memories Mimi.
