Unreal

When I heard of the murder by ice today – – just a couple blocks from where I used to live for 17 years – – I just shut down. I went to bed and slept for three hours. 

Woke up and thought,  This murder feels like retribution by desperate men.

I texted with a lot of friends – – one of them sent me this SNL news skit about ICE falling on ice.

 I really didn’t think I wanted to laugh, but I did laugh, and I felt a little oxygen return to my collapsed brain. So I’m sharing it here with you too:

And now I’m going to bundle up and go outside in the cold sunshine and look for sticks to wrap yarn around. Because I believe the universe when it signaled that I should keep doing what I’m doing – – trying to “Stay, and be beautiful.”

Wherever we are, we’re all in this world together, and I send love and oxygen to you all.
