If You’re Reading The Midnight Library & Want To Live a Day Where You Go 2 March

If You’re Reading The Midnight Library & Want To Live a Version of Your Life in which You Go to the Women’s March #10

Come out and celebrate Freedom. Possible pairing, read a book by any woman who was free to write it ~ and write her own story. Gathering in Plaza Park & walk from there…

Otherwise we’ll see all you book club brunchers on Sunday Jan 18th!🎉
Please update your rsvp so I can get a final count to see if Immigrant Son can reserve a group table or, if not, Settebello…

Because I Was Tired ~
I thought I would go out for a walk

Instead of saying people suck
Which, yeah, I’ve also said,
I’m out here in the dread,

Because I was tired
But more tired of not saying,
We are Free, You & Me

Seeing if we can shed a tear, a light, our pasts, our illusions, our fears,
whatever we need to shed
To cast out the dread
To act as if we have a chance…
To show we have a choice
To save the Earth
To chart a course
To see each other, fresh

To Be Just
but ~ beyond that ~
Just, really, To Be
To let each other Breathe.

I’m not a protester. But I’m out here today.

You don’t have to carry anything
Any label, the pasts, the weight, that dread unsaid
We are not defined
Release it from your mind
You are here.
You are the sign.

Seeing if we can lead with love & hope & imagining for each other
And Smile
~ And not be led

~ written by me for Women’s March, and just, Life
