Another loss among so many,
and this the brightest star–
massive energy so
tightly contained,
collapsing at her core,
releasing potential
in shock waves, oh
universe expanding,
accelerating beyond
hope, without love,
or so it has felt,
but see the sky radiant
with her brilliant starstuff
spinning, luminous:
paths of light shine
through the darkness
her loss creates
the seeds of new stars
we
who grieve now burn
with her fire,
we
who mourn
will dance her light
into the night,
each of us
a new sun
rising.

Thank you, Judy; your kindness means so much. I’m devastated by this loss, but I will not/cannot surrender my hope. I am so impressed by her life and how she used her gifts to fight so very earnestly and long for equality and justice…the grief has to turn to action. Now. Or never.
Be well and safe, Judy, and gentle peace.

Dear Catherine,
Just a Thought ?
Just a Wave ?
Just a new Case She won ?
She knew she could leave in Peace,
Leaving her Power behind as little seeds to grow in us.
She conquered her last Battle,
The President of America. Whoever it might be.
She will be a part of his or her Soul for the rest of his or her Life.
Like she became a part of our Souls for the rest of our Lives
She knew how to reunite Left and Right, without discrimination.
A peace of Art made by two Equally handcrafted Hands,
Without preference for Left or Right,
Equal Values, without Discrimination,
Still to come
* * * * * * * * *
Will be our Battle,
Where we fight to Live.
Thank you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Christiane
