When problems seem to swell up
Overnight
And worry gives a boon
To fret and fright
It can help to remind
That while some puffy mushrooms
Do hold spite
Many are more air
Than actual might.

One cannot argue doubting
He who violated trust before.
Suspicion is a justified insurance
So he cannot to do this anymore.
Smoke and mirrors will not mask
Acts the decent do deplore.
Deflecting will melt in the light of day
As Truth now won’t ignore.

Even In The Blackest!

Even in the blackest night
There’s hope
In sight,
There’s light.
As addendum to this prompt I want to add news of amazing breakthrough research that is offering tangible hope to people with spinal cord injuries, who till now may have had little light at the end of their dark tunnels. Who knows — soon they may be able to get up again and walk!
Scientists use stem-cells to make paralyzed rats walk again!
(I’m doubly excited for this remarkable news because the co-leader scientist in this research, Professor Shulamit Levenberg, is my sister!)

Strut What?

Give a hand
Put a stop.
Help the weak
To step up.
See beyond
Outward bluff.
For in the race
To strut stuff,
Truth is often
Enough.

Dance Gingerly

Dance gingerly into the hearts
Of others.
They are the home
Of someone’s soul.
Dance delicately
In the space
That is between
Yourself
And others.
Dance gently ever more
Inside your own.

The Paths of Time

In passing we will know
The paths of time
The way to grow:
The to and fro
The high
The low
The good
The woe
The ebb
The flow.

Un-Faint Yourself
When woodwork calls
Do not fade in.
When worry weighs
And doubt still gleams:
Color yourself a bolder hue.
Be seen.
Be heard.
Be you!
This year marks 100 years to the first time women were allowed to vote in New York. It led the way to the 19th Amendment and women’s constitutional right to vote.
There are still those who try to suppress votes. There were always those who tried to put others down for wanting equal rights and for seeking access to those rights. Do not let others demonize you for having a voice. Speak up for those who can’t. Seriously: if you can, vote!
For more reasons to vote … Here are some (of the LESS graphic) historic caricature images that were used to shame, insult, threaten, and generally dissuade women from voting.

Phantom Panacea

Do not insist
An action is not worthy
If it does not prevent
All woe.
Demanding a panacea
By claiming
Partial remedies contemptible,
Is a straw man argument
Meant to scare away
The very possibility
Of actual repair.

Beware the prod
When arrows nod.
Their seeming prompt
May in fact be
The footprints stomped
To show the real way
Out the swamp.

Ghoulish Goulash
Old Fashioned Goulash (Yummly.com)
She hates soup. She hates stew.
She can’t stand beef. Tomatoes, too.
She doesn’t care if it’s tradition.
She doesn’t care it’s grandma’s edition.
To her the concept is just foolish
And your goulash is plain ghoulish.
