@thepoetrypea.bsky.social OK, so my guesses re these two mystery themes are...drum roll please... Winter - as there is reference to cold, ice and snow (but is that too obvious?) Hmmm... Light - as we have moonrise, snowlight, candlelight, sun, sunrise... 🤔😊😉

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

The idea that mineral rights granted to US businesses as a condition for peace is appalling. No wonder so many countries have it in for the US if that is how we do diplomacy. Zelensky was willing to trade the rights for reasonable accommodation but demanding 50% and caving to Putin was egregious.

Another hate to say it, but here it is: It’s time for NATO to kick the United States out, and admit Ukraine. Russia will bristle up and threaten WWIII, but this places Trump between a rock and a hard place. If he pledges support to Russia, it will be his demise and result in his removal.

At the Upaya #haiku workship, Jane Hirshfield now talks about how in some Buddhist temples there is a tradition of writing a death poem once a year. She regales us with some poems from the book “Japanse Death Poems” I saw the moon as well And now, world, Truly yours (Chiyo-ni)
