The Crow: Message for All Women

Message for All Women

This is short, intended originally for Mike (blog name Genial Misanthrope), whose email address I have lost, to pass on to his kids, in case they haven't seen the story yet. However, it has important info for all women and those who care about them.

I received this from friend Zhoen (blog name One Word): thank you, Zhoen - I'm happy to receive the link.

Back to the trenches! It costs very little, if anything, to join this movement, but will send a strong message. Women are the ones who will be hurt most by a Trump presidency, so we must be among the ones to do something to affect change - legally, without resorting to violence.

STRIKE!

I'm forwarding on your post to Kate and Emily.

I don't know what to say to women now, I try to comfort my girls, tell them that it will change, which it will. Patience seems unworthy now. You people, you women, you girls, need to act. Change the world in a way your moms and daughters will be proud.

Another visit to the ER tonight convinced me they know less than I do.

All my best, and carry on,
Mike; Tuesday, December 06, 2016
The Crow said...: Mike:

Thanks for passing the link on. I've sent it to my daughter and asked her to post the link (if she finds value in it) on her social media accounts.

And thanks, too, for your support, which is part of what makes you a good man, a good friend and a good father. I'm glad I know you.

Are you home from the ER yet?; Tuesday, December 06, 2016

Meaningful Quotes

"We are displaced by time."

-Marian Marshall Suplee Griest, late (first) mother-in-law, spoken to me in January 1994, in a dream after her death.

"We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." - D. H. Lawrence (via Whiskey River, 8-22-2014)

"There is something scary about letting ourselves
go. It means that we will screw up, that we will relinquish the possibility of perfection. It means that we will say things we didn't mean to say and express feelings we can't explain. It means that we will be onstage and not have complete control, that we won't know what we're going to play until we begin,
until the bow is drawn across the strings.

While this spontaneous method might be frightening, it's also an extremely valuable source of creativity. The lesson about letting go is that we contain our own creativity. We are so worried about playing the wrong note or saying the wrong thing that we end up with nothing at all." - Jonah Lehrer (via Whiskey River, 10/22/2014)
