I was told this position was filled.

From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!...

a mid-1930's poem
by Langston Hughes
(shared partly because we celebrate Black History Month as part of our American history and because the struggle is clearly ongoing)

Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose -
The steel of freedom does not stain.

O, let America be America again -
The land that never has been yet -
And yet must be - the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine - the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's
ME -
Who made America,

"Let America be America Again."
...I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek -
And finding only the same old stupid plan.
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak...

Well-timed! And geez, I love this spread! One of my faves!

Yeah, and Meta's a jerk

I'm thinking about this... It's on my mental contemplation list. I'm realizing each vehicle has more pros and cons than one would think!

In an unfair twist of fate, I'm cooking wheat berries and they smell like cookies baking.

I'm feeling a bit morose about the whole affair right now myself. Charitable actions, baked goods, and less news helps a bit for the moment.

LA Artist friends- I went over to the pottery studio for a bit today and was rewarded with some endorphins. Everybody going through challenging times- Don't forget to engage in creativity of one kind or another, even for a short time. It will definitely help.

Kara... I am hoping your use of the past tense doesn't mean it's gone?
