A thimbleful of grace
And a whisper of choices
A magic spell for victory
And a prayer of indomitable clear-eyed optimism
A wish for dreamless sleep
Each citizen assembly Every town hall Any time a voice is raised A resident becomes stronger A neighbor meets a neighbor A new voter is minted The days of new futures are dawning OR? // A new day dawns OR? // The days of bright new futures dawn
All weather friends are seldom found
Is worry always destructive and useless?
Where do you find Your Power?
What builds "social infrastructure"?
Stimulant species grow crystals from glue
Racking up questionable wins
Sometimes restraint and limitation build power
...like a dam
Recent Postcard Images below. It originally said ‘Victory 2024!’ on the front in hand drawn style instead of ‘United We Fight It!’ in whatever font that is {It is ‘Jokerman’ from LibreOffice}, but after November, obviously the good guys lost the presidency so I had to create a sticker to print and glue stick over that. I’m somewhere North of #1115 out of a limited edition of 1500 used up at this point, I think.
The original poems have to go in the tiny space to the left of the text/image sticker block these days. The more I figure out how to speed up the process the more stuff I figure out how to miniaturize and cram in it seems but I’m just about at the maximum for a postcard now (famous last words). Planning to launch a site called haikujustforyou.com soon, where you can order a mail art piece for yourself or surprise someone else, known to you or a stranger you pick, etc. This will not be free. The convention of using a haiku got too binding though, as has the convention of keeping 100% of them 100% private to the recipient. Depriving me of the use of any of the work product for blogging or social media…. So, similar poems to these have recently been sent out.
There are also envelopes containing more materials now sometimes, but the space reserved for an original poem is hardly twice as much as on the postcards seen here at this time.
