Exuberance

The feeling I get when I howl and hear others howling is exuberance. Exuberance is not something I feel very often in America. I felt exuberant at the Women's March. I felt...

Regarding concerns about Pete being gay......

I largely agree with you- I hadn't paid much attention to Pete but I increasingly see him as one of the most solid candidates. Sadly I'm not quite sure if older, especially midwest, southern, and...

It's true that Sanders is polling marginally better the Buttigieg in head to head polls with trump and the moment.

However, I believe this is because people are still getting to know Pete, where...

Drifted down

Amidst the ash and dirt.
The paper was part of a dictionary.

As I crossed the bridge, a hairy hand came out.

It's a beautiful ritual Chris Dec. The Vulture is a majestic creature. Like the Crow it sends signs between both worlds. We have to interpret them.

Yes, I saw this vulture above the Bill Kortum trail outside of Bodega Bay and I made a date with her.

Above the ocean. I saw through half-shut eyelids a
vulture wheeling
high up in heaven,
And presently it passed...
