Roughin heck, Louise. 🥹🤣
You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.

Write,' said that voice, and the prophet answered, 'For whom.' The voice spoke, 'For the dead, for those you love in past generations,' "Will they read it.)' 'Yes, for they return as posterity.'

[As quoted by Kierkegaard in his notebooks from the late 1830's.]

The Post is in the tank right now, but I’m glad to see they’ve done another feature on Reginald Dwayne Betts.
A smuggled book changed his life. Now he’s built 500 prison libraries.
Reginald Dwayne Betts was locked up as a teenager for carjacking. Books were his escape, and he went on to be a poet, lawyer and founder of Freedom Reads.

Republicans have enough votes in Congress to pass funding for SNAP....all they need to do is send a clean SNAP funding bill to the floor for a vote. But ..they aren't even present for a vote; they are on vacation. They are taking time off while people starve.

Poets act as "Dream Keepers" according to Langston Hughes, 1926.

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers.
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world.
