This reads almost like an invocation, a chant of summoning. Much enjoyed this. As Brandon said, it invites rereading 🧡

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write with dark undertones my friend. I concur with Willow and Brandon. Amazing read. Appreciate you.

Chère L.,
Beauty.
The Chinese version:
Beauty in the woods, where no one can hear it, is still beautifulThe greater Amsterdam version:
Beauty which is shared with other people, growsIt’s almost akin to:
Sometimes giving away makes me richer.
All this and more you gave us with this wonderful post.If you’re American: Thank you very much
In all other cases: (please) keep on keeping on (Curtis Mayfield)
Kind regards, Gus

There’s nothing fun about being ghosted. I’ve learned to move on if I sense any games being played. Detachment is a hard lever to pull, but is often necessary.

I like steak well done, but the current steak situation…inedible, unpalatable and unacceptable. Perfectly executed

We as a nation have had tough times in the past, but I can totally understand your sentiments. Everyone is getting on the same wavelength. We all know things aren’t going good. There are many factors involved to.

For a moment we was like this is a fed up person, then this person has been flocked, nothing but sheep. Tight

Headache driving one insaneWe came up with the saying “the tough get it done”
I’m done…
We as a society, on the whole
Are charcoaled steak
Extra well, with no tenderness in sight4 Comments-
It does feel that way, done, charcoaled. But after last Saturday, I saw hope for many reasons beyond the numbers. But it will take more than a one and done approach. It will take sustained resistance, nonviolent activity, a refusal to obey the flames of abuse, and in our millions to stop the “grilling”.

Your poem rings so true, Fia,. Let’s hope that, one day, Society rediscovers tenderness, love, and caring about each other rather than all the squalid hatred, the foul judgement that has no place.

The last line lands in a way that makes you want to reread this again, and let it linger. This caught my breath.
