Now, as I once reached out to my mother, I will now reach out to God—reach out to hold and to be held. Beauty, joy, love, and all, sent into the onomatopoeic synonym for “silence”. Hear it again. Life sent on. Life in vates for the Eleusinian promise.

On This Day…

Anna Sewell born 1820 in Yarmouth, England, died 1878: writer of the classic novel, Black Beauty, and activist against cruelty to animals
Quotes: “We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.” “I am never afraid of what I know.” “My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.”
