click: Your Facebook Friend Said Something Racist: Thanksgiving Edition (and listen)

Overcooked green beans are unfortunate. Hate speech is unbearable. And with Thanksgiving coming up just weeks after "THAT" election, we understand there’s a higher-than-average chance of someone at the table saying something offensive. For that reason, we’re revisiting an episode from our archives, complete with a how-to flow chart, on responding to racism and politics in your Facebook feed and in real life. (Note to Self)

Wild Geese

MARY OLIVER’S “WILD GEESE” 

You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

 

Analysis  — Maddy Levy

I watch the flocks here and know that if one wild goose gets sick, another stays with them until they heal and then they both go rejoin and continue the migration... we need to be more like the wild geese... BOOM!

BOOM Dears, 

I think we (you and me) should write a short hand-written memory book for a child we know. 
Secrets, magical things, miracles, mistakes we made, better ideas, anything you want and we collect that in a small notebook... 
(then bequeath it and seal it in an envelope with their name) 

Yes, both herb and I are doing this...BOOMLOVE

I Don’t Want To Change You

BOOM! Great singer!
