Our world spins
in contradictions –
grief prominent
Women and children
facing oppression
Indigenous souls
coming home –
So many dying
courtesy of lies
If there is a song
for our times
it is a wailing.
(Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. Art my own)
Yep. Love that last stanza 🙂

Also – your interview is live –
I mentioned that I might post a little early (rather than the 8th) because the time was ripe! 😊🙏
But no pressure to come right away. It is not going anywhere;)

I’ll email you later but wanted to leave a comment real quick – so if you need me to change anything please let me know

Take your time and wow- your comment just now made my day!!
You gave me a lot to work with and I was a fan before the interview but now I am a super fan!
Hahaha
Also – you inspired me to do some of my own audio read alouds / later on-
And…. I plan to scour your blog a bit more later this year to enjoy more of the audio tracks.
Have a great day and thanks again for being part of the interview series – 😊💗🌸
