Time to be real. ~aw

Happy Birthday, Beloved David Icke, April 29th

Happy Birthday, Beloved David Icke, April 29th Imagine! I was never supposed to like you, David. Two hundred years stood against any affection.   As a child, seeing you, so unlike my own clan, I would have run! But I do like and admire you.  Banning you from 26 countries does nothing to ban you from my regard. Those banning you are running, like I might have, from a fright most have only heard about! You are a miracle, really. A wonder. A being of supreme stubbornness.  You will never be in a fi...

A deep bow and two apples

Photo 2023 by Alice Walker The man who appears tiny as he repairs a palapa in my garden seems like a magician to me. I wish I had words in his language to tell him how impressed I am – instead I offer a deep bow, and two apples.  Yesterday a friend took me to look at a dusty, far from “civilization” village of perhaps thirty residents. As I gazed, he said: this is the village of the palapa makers.  Nothing was shipshape.  In the heat and dust, nothing stirred.  And yet, here is where genius live...
