I want to be a hippie
I want to be a flower child
think only of the sun and stars
see flowers strewn in every frame
I want to feel only sunbeams
I want to hear the words of the wind
I want to say peace, peace, peace
let that mantra be enough
to carry me through the day
make all the ugly go away
I wasn’t born a hippie, though
while the beauty of a river heals my soul
it doesn’t last, alas
I find the old struggles of balancing love, kindness, mercy, and justice
waiting
*Salem, Oregon*
Oh wow, me too. I really feel this one

There’s nowhere to run…nowhere to escape the insanity of the fanatics who have been let loose by a delusional psychopath and the cowardly republicans who were part of this, and those who did nothing to stop it.

I am hoping we get through the 20th without violence.
