for veggie lasagna, for sourdough starter in brown paper bag, for money from a stranger, for more daffodils, for luxurious soda stream canister purchases to last until…, for the promise of distance learning, for google classrooms, for learning together, for zoom calls, for the promise of more zoom calls, for sun walking in cold air, for one fat cat & one skinny cat, for instagram live videos, for lavender essential oil, for sweet soft faces, for crazy screams and giggles, for partners in pandemic life, for Irish soda bread, for fat cat wrestling with a hedgehog calico critter, for doulas allowed in the room, for good food, for extra tea lights under the sink, for body for mind for breath for movement for now is the time to hold onto your crystals who cares if they work or not and so what if i fall asleep holding onto my amazonite who cares?! nothing matters anyway so do what feels good and easy, feel smooth rocks whenever possible and then
give thanks

The Good News
They don’t publish
the good news.
The good news is published
by us.
We have a special edition every moment,
and we need you to read it.
The good news is that you are alive,
and the linden tree is still there,
standing firm in the harsh Winter.
The good news is that you have wonderful eyes
to touch the blue sky.
The good news is that your child is there before you,
and your arms are available:
hugging is possible.
They only print what is wrong.
Look at each of our special editions.
We always offer the things that are not wrong.
We want you to benefit from them
and help protect them.
The dandelion is there by the sidewalk,
smiling its wondrous smile,
singing the song of eternity.
Listen! You have ears that can hear it.
Bow your head.
Listen to it.
Leave behind the world of sorrow
and preoccupation
and get free.
The latest good news
is that you can do it.
