Been thinking about this poem a lot lately.
T.S. Eliot - East Coker from Four Quartets - The Dewdrop
T.S. Eliot's epic Four Quartets embodies a mystical vision of human life, time and memory sourced from Christianity and eastern philosophy.

America250 insists they are planning nonpartisan festivities, rather than creating a slush fund to throw the president militarized birthday parties.
But in reality, US history is being subordinated to Trump’s cult of personality.

Children and families should never go through the horrors Liam and his dad went through.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Something short I wrote after Renee Good's death a few weeks back for a colleague's blog in Mexico.
So much has happened since, and so much continues to go on.
The piece echoes what so many of us have said and felt, maybe even as writers, but I had to get it off my chest.
As always #ChingaLaMigra
