Los Angeles at 100 Thousand Poets for Change (100TPC), Spring Forward in Santa Rosa, CA!

That's right! Angelenos came from far to Santa Rosa, California, a city rich in railroad history, paying homage to the beloved Charles Schultz, and birthplace of 100TPC! Since 2010, 100TPC has come together bringing the world's love for poetry, art, music, dance, and many more soon [and growing!] -- with the desire to see our world change! World is relative -- because we are all representing our own world's of thought, experiences, nuances, and gravitys, as we fuse our geographic boundaries.

 It all started with the Poets! When the Poets see... they share. They want the eyes of the world to recognize...and at last, here we are.

 100 Thousand plus...
                                                                         ............for Change.

 When Mohammad Ibn Al Ajami is done unjust, in representing his world, his reality, for what it is, what it has unfolded...he shares his words, his truths. As a Poet he must...it is essential to us and to those within our world who either do not see, or are not being heard.

It all starts with a Poet...and it has.

 We are 100 Thousand and more...
                                                                   ...............for FREEING Mohammad Ibn Al Ajami!!!!!!!

The above video was recited at 100 TPC Spring Forward, words by Poet Antonieta Villamil.

 To sign a petition to urge for release of Poet Mohammed Ibn Al Ajami, please visit this site: http://act.rootsaction.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=7041

 We need to see our Poet free!!!
Share the above link and publicize this treachery so that together, we can overturn the courts and release our Poet from imprisonment!

 I encourage you all to use your voice and pen together, as it is a blessing (which we take for granted) to be able to speak out for change in the areas dear to us and take action towards true change.

 Let's not stop the fight for Mohammed Ibn Al Ajami!
WRITE ON! WRITE NOW! BE HEARD!

 Peace to you all.

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...
