August was just here
Now it’s October —

Summer was just here
So was freedom of speech
& free press
I’m still here (word to Tisha Campbell)
& they can’t figure it out

Bless the boats
Bless the light bearers
Bless the rest the retreat the reset the renewers & the renege-rs

You keep WE moving
furiously towards a horizon our ancestors earned

May I continue to walk upright
with their prayers
in their footsteps
by their design

Came out of music hibernation to play in this cozy cocoon of a living room last weekend 🥹

The air outside was toxic, the wildfire rain was dirty, the thunder was loud, the streets were flooded, the emergency text alerts were plentiful, the lettuce was parasite!! But the people were brave and kind and came to listen to music and hug and be present together. If we gotta apocalypse, this is how I want to do it.

Thank you thank you thank you to our generous hosts @adam_falkner & @jimmyroyston 🌱
