Beltain Eve, when Winter gives way to Spring
29 April 2022
Bravo. I read this morning that on Mauna Loa they recorded carbon dioxide levels of 422 parts per million. Remember when 350 was the target for averting climate crisis? The current long heat wave in India has barely been noticed in the US news. I head off to celebrate the return of Spring, and I choose to hold on to hope and lift it up. But I will not avert my gaze, I will bear witness as long as I can stand it.

There was a little snow falling today but the trees are coming into full bloom – branches of yellow, pink and white instead of bare or green.

Bad dream. I tried to run over this guy and punch him out but he wasn’t really there. But I couldn’t get him to shut up or leave me alone. And I couldn’t figure out who he was or what he wanted from me.

Call it a mermaid, I guess. Squishing around acrylics and inks, for some pleasingly blobby and bubbly effects.

I spent the day with a group of good and dear friends that I haven’t been with in person since the start of the pandemic, doing a Restorative Justice workshop. Came home tired and unsettled. This reflects my feeling of being lovingly held as I faced my own shortcomings and learned tools for doing important community work.
