No gods, no masters—
the moon ignores our fences.

Tomorrow’s Tiny Prophecy is a trio of haiku that wander from mossy forest to opal mist to indigo tide—

little spells for travelers who follow moonlight and memory.

For anyone who’s ever felt a landscape looking back—check back tomorrow.

At Grandma’s house on the crooked hill,
the boards breathe at night.

“Mind the knots,” she says,
“Those are their listening holes.”

When you hear them pick at planks below, you press yourself proper still.

They keep count of the boys who behave in bed, and the bare feet that break for floor.

Some nights the hill is quiet.
Some nights it isn’t.
Scratch, scratch, scrabble, scritch—
and you remember every reason Grandma said “mind the knots.”

If you hear them at night—
scratch, scratch, scrabble, scritch—
you don’t get up to check.
You lie very still
and hope the molemen are busy
under someone else’s house.

“Whim” just landed in the #Hearth house at Tiny Prophecies—

a #poem for anyone who’s ever felt a nudge from nowhere

Somewhere ahead of us
is a quiet world
where no one is priced out
of warmth or water,
and peace is just
how we do things here.

Tomorrow’s Tiny Prophecy is a love letter to intuition— the quiet sibling of reason we’ve been trained to ignore.

For anyone who’s ever felt a tug in their chest and called it “just a whim.”

Really digging this #podcast thing. I've posted another episode, this time with voices—

Ethna the Bride, by Lady Wilde (1887)

It's not 👈 🆚 👉 it's ☝️ 🆚 👇.
Love thy neighbor—
elites are not our neighbors.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
