I love resistance poems, protest songs, and visual arts that stand for freedom. But I'll be thrilled when things are so calm that we might even get bored. I'll be delighted when we are most inspired by the love, safety, and unbridled joy we feel instead of the constant threat of persecution.

I was born in 1974, but I hung out with hippies in my teenage years. We liked nature, psychedelic rock, and anything that pushed aside a future we dreaded. We didn't want to be part of the machine, though it found us anyway, but we had a taste of freedom for a short while. #poetry #poems #memories

Wonderful advice. When I'm writing about trauma, I take a walk around the neighborhood or do some work in my garden, anything that gets me outside for a while. #writinglife
