Today we see how the oligarchs are turning workers against each other. They do the work to separate while the oligarchs use their work to dominate. It’s an old story with long roots. It happened to the men at the center of the Molly Maguire story. www.amazon.com/Jack-Almost-...

I am reclaiming me. I am a fighter, a believer in justice, a lover of people, a warrior of the light. I am thankfully not an immoral billionaire who is punch drunk on power. But I am grateful I know right from wrong, and I champion the rights of all people. #Reclaim www.youtube.com/watch?v=DToe...

Went to Vanderbilt’s castle, The Breakers, today in Newport. It was both opulent and gross and built on the backs of the working class the family abused to gain wealth. The original Gilded Age did not last long. Let’s hope for the same for the 2nd GA that we’re experiencing now. Billionaires blow

Created a vision board of positivity, of joy, of love, and resistance. I am committed to kindness and compassion, to empathy and justice. I will be present on difficult days. I will help others and fight injustice. I will be strong. I am a light warrior here in the moment when I am most needed.

I cry my heart out. It’s bound to break. Since nothing matters, let it break. I ask the sun and the moon, The stars that shine, What's to become of it.

Portal tombs and standing stones in Scotland. If only they could transport me somewhere safe, fun, so I wouldn’t be part of the next four years in the US. Part of the resistance but truly unnerved by it all. The wait before the storm.

A little Jerpoint Abbey in the rain is always a good idea.

Spent some time at Newgrange in County Meath Ireland. An amazing passage tomb. Stepped inside. Looked up to see a 5000+year old stone roof; it has never leaked. Sometimes it’s good to remember the marvels and miracles in life, especially in trying times.

When it all seems too much, you can escape with a little Yeats and the faeries 🧚🏻. At least until you’re ready to fight again. We need you. “Come away, O human child! / To the waters and the wild / With a faery, hand in hand, / For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”

“The fates of individuals are shaped, in some significant measure, by the silent shrouded stories long concealed in the deepest parts of their hearts. They are the stories of collective trauma and great unresolved passions, of near escapes and no escapes….They are the stories of…class warfare.”

Trying to come up with a good way to write texts into a novel without them being too disruptive to the narrative. Any ideas?

For no particular reason, a sacred grove in West Cork. Ireland is full of these gems.

This morning, seemingly from out of the blue, the new book unfolded in my mind’s eye. The funny thing is it’s been hiding in plain sight for months. I love being a writer.

I am reading a terrific book: “All the Light We Cannot See.” In fact, I spent most of yesterday and last night reading it. It’s that good. That’s it. That’s the post. I just wanted to share this gem with fellow book lovers. This is a good one, ya’ll.
