Pangs of guilt and remorse

Posted by: moedee on: October 31, 2004

I’m feeling pretty guilty right now. I said I would go phonebank for No on 36 tonight and I didn’t do it. Didn’t go in, didn’t call, just didn’t. I have that luxury in that if Measure 36 passes, I won’t be directly affected, although I’ll certainly be affected emotionally by the [...]

Wondering

Posted by: moedee on: October 31, 2004

where I would be…if
just one thing had happened
…differently
where would I be…if
just one person had not crossed my path
…meaningfully
where would I be…if
just one moment passed me by
…unnoticed
where would I be?

Team "F*** Everyone but US!"

Posted by: moedee on: October 30, 2004

I saw Team America a couple of weeks ago and just haven’t blogged about it until now. Actually, Cecily pretty much captured most of my thoughts but I thought I’d post a flying mention anyway.

Emotional and mental overload

Posted by: moedee on: October 30, 2004

I have to say, once again, that I’m so grateful that I don’t have as much stress and/or drama in my life as many other people. Adding all this election pressure on top of that and we have a recipe for disaster. With regard to the emotional environment of our country, I’d love [...]

Do I want to

Posted by: moedee on: October 29, 2004

eat today, or not
wear a warm coat today, or not

access safe transport today, or not
talk to loving people today, or not
feel secure in my life today, or not
these are my options
these are not everybody’s options
I can choose to care today, or not

Clarity falling

Posted by: moedee on: October 25, 2004

like leaves, drifting
…down
onto the soggy pavement
the trees are clear
but what can the pavement see?

Thanks WTF

In the minority

Posted by: moedee on: October 23, 2004

A couple of years ago, I set some goals for myself around how I wanted to live my life. At the time, I didn’t articulate these goals but I had a vague idea what I wanted and I started moving in that direction. Those loose goals included the following:

releasing the desire and inclination [...]

Out of the dishwater

Posted by: moedee on: October 23, 2004

soapy bubbles rise
pieces of food, uneaten and unwanted
in this overfed country,
drop into the strainer
creating a tiny pile of soft, inedible garbage
