Cats... bears... and me. Fascinated and appalled by politics: Pro-EU, anti-Tory, anti-Reform, anti-Trump. 🏳️‍🌈 Music, art, movies, books, and I try and post a poem a day... Matrix and Kate Bush obsessive.

In 2021 Afghan women started an online campaign to protest the Taliban's female dress code by posting photos of what traditional Afghan clothes look like #AfghanWomen

Sagesse "10" by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)
Or is it a great tide that covers the rock-pool
so that it and the rock are indistinguishable

from the sea-shelf and are part of the sea-floor,
though the sea-anemone may quiver apprehensively

and the dried weed uncurl painfully
and the salt-sediment rebel, "I was salt,

a substance, concentrated, self-contained,
am I to be dissolved and lost?"

"it is fearful, I was a mirror, an individual,"
cries the shallow rock-pool, "now infinity

claims me; I am everything? but nothing";
peace, salt, you were never as useful as all that,

peace, flower, you are one of a thousand-thousand others,
peace, shallow pool, be lost.

Night night sweet dreamies

Self-care isn’t only about bubble baths and treatos
It’s also about being kind to yourself, knowing when to rest, and gently letting go of what you no longer need.

Sleep softly and may your dreams be kind tonight.

#ChildlikeWonder
Oh no, my wonder is not "childlike." My whimsy is old. My frivolity is steeped in ancient wisdom.

My silliness is battle worn. My awe at the world has long been forged through trial and tribulation.

I have earned this wonderment. I have protected it for decades against a society that tells me constantly that it should not belong to me. 

I was born with wonder, and I have carried it, against all odds, with me through adulthood.

It is not "childlike" by now it is Older than me.
