Kinda tired. How about you? I feel a little like this sagging pumpkin. Don’t get me wrong — there’s tons to celebrate.
The light is beautiful today. The air fresh.
Have a great day!
Afterwards
Pattern and Outrage
cloth, justice, writing, and food

I like the in progress collage. I could even say it feels finished.
Maybe. Especially if considered with what goes before and after, something I haven’t figured out how to capture. Laughed at your post, BTW, about hitting publish before finished. I do that ALL the time. Usually revise three, four times after publication.
A first for me but I can feel it coming…
So wanting the “Blue” light that shined all throughout New Mexico could find a way to light up a path for my neighbors to the left and right of me, Arizona and Texas!
Yes yes yes. Texas is baffling.
‘In progress’ looks done to me…the void of ‘more’ added on speaks volumes! The viewing of your piece after reading that poem put it all together for me. My interpretation of them is basically how I feel these days, both in my day to day and in the state of the world. Very dramatic telling here Dee.
The close races, the unknown results still, the need for runoffs…and then there is the huge win of Ron DeStupid. I’m unable to comprehend how there can be this madness.
sigh
PS This poet Kyle Tran Myhre is worth exploring more! Thanks
Me too, “In Progress” seems complete.
The Kyle Tran Myher poem – I love as I love/hate the concept of The Dark Dementors. They seem quite real.
Related: I shared a very short video on FB that is a poignant clip of Congressman Andy Kim’s acceptance speech (D-NJ). He mentions his children, it is quite moving. We worked at one of his canvassing staging location as well as canvassed for his campaign: 3 weekends plus Election Day. We have some good stories about canvassing.
Tense times… stay healthy!
I live on a small island of blue in a vast sea of Texas red … it is indeed baffling … but our wonderful state representative won re-election and is currently in law school … I do so hope she is headed for Washington DC one of these days … and I chided our local mayor, who included an endorsement for another candidate on his “where to vote” Facebook post … I didn’t vote for that candidate as he didn’t answer my email which asked “what is your opinion of the 2020 election administration and results?” … thankfully, he lost the election to a Democrat, who is admittedly flawed … but who isn’t these days?
so yeah, I feel like a deflated pumpkin, but at least things aren’t totally rotten … there are seeds that have sprung from this election that will surely take root and bear fruit in 2024
yes, WIP looks done
such a relief, the outcome I mean, of course
makes me embrace the human race yet again
and also, how come media got it wrong again, over here anyway as they were ‘predicting’ landslide victory for trumpism
