Look at that goofy-ass grin. I don't care. I did it. #gardening #georgiagardening #rootmanorfruitman Full disclosure: I got so excited that I immediately rinsed and ate it without thinking about the coffee I was drinking. No regrets. Just don't do it again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHepEapDdl2/?igshid=ms8rvwbgbs24

Because I need the right to my body. Because my friends deserve marriage. Because systemic racism and systems of oppression are being flatly denied despite indisputable evidence and that must stop. Because a country divided is a country that has arbitrary, meaningless sovereignty. Because one said they'll do better and the other said they've done enough. Because we can light a fire under one and push plans. Because this country needs unity and leadership. Because this is the option towards healing. Because the people are protesting and one knows it's the country telling what it needs and where it hurts, while the other thinks he's more powerful than the people that make the country. ... Because I really need my pseudo/faux- christian, racist, homophobic family members to stop thinking it's now kosher to spread hate and hurt. Because it keeps sounding like the right defense is "you don't know him like we do," and I've only ever heard that in abusive relationships. Because jobs back to America that don't pay enough to stay off welfare is throwing a life raft half way. Because shaming those on welfare is cruel. Because this was the window to speak my truth. And because I have a 10 ft inflatable sandworm I found on clearance last year and it makes the kids in my neighborhood soooo happy. P.S. If your belief system assumes people are inherently bad/parasitic/free-loaders/evil/morally corrupt, maybe think that one over a few times and ask what it's doing for your citizenship of the world. #vote #bidenharris2020 #recalibrate #blacklivesmatter #lovewins #womensrightsarehumanrights #antiracism (at Bethlehem, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHDZ07gj1eT/?igshid=1axnut2l14wz6

Eyes go dead so lies instead

As a kid I learned that dead-eyed facial expression that meant I was losing my parent's interest. This is not great when you are learning to establish validity jn yourself. I still have that old knee-jerk reaction to lie and embellish when I catch the visage. Then I walk away and decide never to say another word. This leads me to perhaps some lightbulb moment: the need for controversy? Better to overreact than to not hear something important at all? Hell if I know but I hope not.

The song of my people.

aaaaAAAAAHHHHHH

This is what I’m here for. Not only do we need men supporting women who come out about sexual abuse but we really need men supporting other men when they come forward about these stories. Like not only am I happy that Brendan came forward but I’m so proud of Terry for voicing his support of Brendan. This is huge.

When I had appropriate music in my life, I never felt like I needed to change myself so I didn't drink near as much; I just harmonised with the melody and shared a couple of minutes of my headspace with the person who wrote the lyrics. It was belonging. It was stillness. It was comfort.

My body does not keep me connected to you; merely tangible. I am always with you otherwise.

Me!

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders."

-Lao Tzu

I have grown in a culture that values the paying of a price over learning a lesson. The last time I was still, I had upset my parents and they told me to sit in a chair in our kitchen alone and to think on what I had done. They did not explain. This lack of guidance is dangerous to a young mind. It does not know when to stop punishing. I was still just a lab retriever in my loyalty. So I sat in silence until they had forgotten me in this room. It grew dark and when they found me still sitting in my chair, they expressed how proud they were of me for this. I have not been still since.

Yin yoga has taught me that I am to learn and heal during that stillness... Not harm.
