A tumbleweed,crispy dry and beaten, rests in shallow water where it’s half reflection makes it look whole. In the background, patches of watery mud with straw and green grass growing from it, creates a topsy-turvy illusion where land is up and the sky is below; an upside down world.

International Women’s Day.

THE MOON IS ALWAYS FEMALE poems by Marge Piercy.

‘For Strong Women’ expresses the expectations and vulnerabilities women face in our complex world while celebrating bravery and resilience.
The book cover of THE MOON IS ALWAYS FEMALE poems by Marge Piercy in muted grays with a moon and curled charcoal colored cat with green eyes FOR STRONG WOMEN A strong woman is a woman who is straining A strong woman is a woman standing on tiptoe and lifting a barbell while trying to sing “Boris Godunov.” A strong woman is a woman at work cleaning out the cesspool of the ages, and while she shovels, she talks about how she doesn’t mind crying, it opens the ducts of the eyes, and throwing up develops the stomach muscles, and she goes on shoveling with tears in her nose. A strong woman is a woman in whose head a voice is repeating, I told you so, ugly, bad girl, bitch, nag, shrill, witch, ballbuster, nobody will ever love you back, Why aren't you feminine, why aren't you soft, why aren't you quiet, why aren't you dead? A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined not be done. She is pushing up on the bottom of a lead coffin lid. She is trying to raise a manhole cover with her head, she is trying to butt her way through a steel wall. Her head hurts. People waiting for the hole to be made say, hurry, you’re so strong. A strong woman is a woman bleeding inside. A strong woman is a woman making herself strong every morning while her teeth loosen and her back throbs. Every baby, a tooth, midwives used to say, and now every battle a scar. A strong woman is a mass of scar tissue that aches when it rains and wounds that bleed when you bump them and memories that get up in the night and pace in boots to and fro. A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. A strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. A strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. Strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail. What comforts her is others loving her equally for the strength and for the weakness from which it issues, lightning from a cloud. Lightning stuns. In rain, the clouds disperse. Only water of connection remains, flowing through us. Strong is what we make each other. Until we are all strong together, a strong woman is a woman strongly afraid.

I’m searching for my anchor. Once again, I read too much news & lost my way. The layers of stories are broke trap doors. In nanoseconds I go from thinking I understand our world to not knowing a single thing.
This new way is void of 1 way but a cloverleaf hwy w/heavy overpasses.
Oh yeah- #caturday

As I scroll Bluesky I see people are swing an emotional trajectory — all moving, few synchronized.
I feel the more we get in sync (accepting reality) the faster we create the counter plan

MECHANISM 70x70 oil on canvas. 90s
My 1st real painting after 6 years of art school.
The ladder is a powerful symbol; a longing to advance. As a young dreamer I strived to override old beliefs. This art reflects on a postmodern world colliding w/a technology age, questioning desire & promise of ease
A light blue colorfield covers the entire canvas, denoting a heavenly sky. A brown line at the bottom, drawn thinly in the paint, appears as a tightrope slightly bowing from the weight of a mechanism balancing on it, which is a single wheel in motion with abstracted form painted in a cobalt blue color. It’s a cross between a figure bent over, backbreaking, or a banana-type seat swiftly moving and mixing with the blue of the sky. This mechanism carries a heavy mahogany colored ladder that stretches completely across the top of the painting from side to side. The painting’s compositional weight sits solely above the wispy painterly threads of the objects beneath.

OMG!!! I just found my purpose in life! I kid not. My hub agreed. I can barely type!
I must work out a pin-post & get on my way to being useful.
I’ve been grappling as to why I’m even on Bluesky.
Now I SEE why I am here.
Hint: the most fun & poetic alt. Finally, I turned a corner. Light does bend!

I am still brainstorming GREEN.
#colorrevolution #green
GREEN: Earth, global, nature, plant and sow, life.
RECYLE GREEN: Recycle these folks.
SAGE/ARMY/OLIVE: veterans color
MINT: refresh
SPRING: Spring Revolution
GRASS: grassroots
FORREST/PINE: seeing through the trees
SEA: across the pond

Well. 6 weeks in & I must say the news cycle is stealing our collective zeal by keeping us stuck in a spinning bingo cage bouncing about tooting horns - whether relieving our shock or trying to predict the future- it’s starting to work against us.
I want to see us drop the bait & make a real plan.

We need your leadership. We need to organize & we need to get started. We need a SYMBOL that unites us in the global fight for democracy.

What COLOR is our REVOLUTION?

I offer my help, I take direction well, to find that symbol that stirs us.

I’m a sound sleeper & now remembering my dream from last night. As I walked down a busy street everyone had knees w/incisions & sutures - like knee capping. My subconscious gives me a realistic sign: life will be hard, but we must adapt to survive, & as violent wounds heal they can motivate

I come onto Bluesky at peak hour and turn into chicken-little running around shouting the sky is falling.
Not becoming at all.
But it’s a reality it seems.

I’ve learn more about our government in 2025 than my entire life. Nothing but admiration on how it all worked & tried to improve.
