Tick tock, rat tat tat...

Is that the sound of one woman typing? It might just be!
I saw a picture floating around of me in a pair of yellow footsie pajamas and a blue typewriter. I was 3 years old. Maybe my parents were trying to tell me something when they gifted it to me for Christmas many years ago. Or maybe it's just coincidence... hmm

:) I will have to show you that picture, but in the meantime, here is a photo of the typewriter my writing gig will help me purchase tomorrow, hopefully :)


Perhaps this will inspire me to write a manifesto of all the eyeballs in this city. :) Each citizen has two eyes, typically... so that means that there are over 8 million eyeballs floating around the Los Angeles vicinity.

Yipes! That also accounts for the amount of legs and arms as well. Just a tidbit.

Ah and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my good friend, Jayson Pida!
To celebrate his birthday, I will share with you a poem by him!

Ahem:


I Swear My Blood (in ogham)


--

Creeping to the blue stones
after the ceremony.
She laid upon a worn bloodline,
shivering and waiting.

( …mo rhyddhau )
Anxious, they emerged.
Stretched as toes and branches from the sleeping oaks,
wove through frost-laden henges,
dove upon her.
She was invisible below a leviathan body,   
accepted, taken.

Her family wailed through the village
as the authorities searched.
But the Holy Man walked among the rings
and smiled.
The matter has been sealed.

Jayson Pida

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

In Loving Memory of Anthony St. Jude Greene

My best friend died Sunday, July 24, 2011. Best and oldest friend...a brother and someone connected to my soul throughout life. It's not entirely real to me...we'd always talk, plan trips to see each other. This is going to be hard. He struggled a lot throughout his life; his weight problem, respiratory issues, sensitivity in general as he got older and heavier. It's a damn shame. He was a very strong man. Very strong! He'd fight off death for years. :) He'd joke about it a lot...saying that death is gonna have to fight harder because he's not giving up. His heart gave out, his body had enough trauma. He just had to let go, we have to acknowledge that he lived hard, fought well, died nobly. We'd joke about our heritage...we had much of the same mix of mutt in us, which was quite unique. He was also the son of many many vikings! Norsemen were tough, full of valor and grit, arghhhhhhh! Those medieval times men had nothing on Anthony Greene. :) Noth...
