TIME SIGNATURES | Vikki C. It’s easy to make up in the orchard, under the anxious rain of blossoms. Little thought about our appearance, always kindly compensated by god-light. A sacred knife cutting away the parts of our lives which obstruct love, as a seamstress switches to clear thread to render the wound inconspicuous. Elsewhere, the gold pears will themselves to fall, before our fingers grow impatient. A mother is always near, a child, too. Both quiet and content—they bend instead of reach—to collect the fallen fruit. Hours which gleam with an older devotion. Effort catches, a sigh is released. We both know this is the bluest heartsong —a ritual of dirt, salt and modesty. Like grooming the mare’s smooth neck, before turning her out to pasture each morning. Seeing your face in its exquisite sheen, untying the slip knot and watching her grow small with distance— becoming an untended prayer in the mist.

Drink water and wear sunscreen anyway, but especially if you’re taking any of these.

The LA Dodgers turned ICE away at its stadium and pledged $1 million to families of immigrants. But let's get real, writes @edgeofsports.bsky.social, it all happened because of the people protesting Trump’s immigration actions in LA. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
