Now luna, you're going to get a concussion.
If you've hit that screen once, must've hit it a dozen.
Perhaps to your eyes that light is attractive.
If you really got in, you would feel like a captive.
Should I turn off the lights, or turn the television off?
Should we be mouse-ly quiet, cease to talk, even cough?
So back into the woods, our poor luna friend flew.
Left our door screen alone.  Left our deck and house too.
But in some way I felt we had seen something great.
I was fortunate; lucky to have this be my fate.

(from https://www.salon.com/2022/09/18/i-voted-for--twice-i-was-a-right-wing-pundit-i-was-about-all-of-it/ by Rich Louis)

". . . Alexander Hamilton convinced his fellow Federalists to vote for Thomas Jefferson over Federalist Aaron Burr in the disputed 1800 presidential election — a  decision that cost Hamilton his life; 

Abraham Lincoln decided to crush the Confederacy with four years of gruesome bloodshed, although he desperately wanted to preserve the Union at any cost. That agonizing decision to wage total war against fellow Americans brought the slavery era to an end, saved America from irreparable damage — and also resulted in Lincoln's assassination; 

The U.S. joined forces with the Soviet Union in World War II — an almost impossible alliance between opposed ideological forces that was necessary to  conquer the Nazis; 

Many Republicans in the House and Senate supported President Lyndon Johnson's signature achievements, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting  Rights Act of 1965, over the objections of many racist Southern Democrats; 

Bipartisan support for the resignation of President Nixon: Ultimately it was his fellow Republicans, led by Sen. Barry Goldwater, a conservative hero, who made clear that if Nixon did not resign, he would be impeached and removed in a Senate trial; 

Many Democrats rallied around President George W. Bush in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — even if some of them would like to deny or forget that now.

. . . our current epoch presents us with a moment similar to the aforementioned historic events — a moment in which America faces yet another existential  challenge. . . 

. . . the Democratic Party is relatively healthy, although it has two major blind spots: It takes for granted many historically Democratic voting blocs — such as religious minorities, LGBTQ citizens and Black and Latino voters — and it almost entirely ignores rural America. In contrast, the Republican Party is terminally ill, and its leadership knows that; that's why they have staked a path forward that is, well, backward, with increased emphasis on everything male/Caucasian/Christian and heterosexual. . ."

Expressing . . .

It's hard to describe

My new feelings of late

Regarding the stance

Some have taken to date.

Succumbing to 

The wiles of one,

Humanity possessed, seems is virtually none.

But defend, they will,

To the end they say,

Because some enemy

Wants his way, 

Whose perception of which

Has misguidedly strayed.

Their blindness,

Self-administered, 

Is to proclivities

Very sinister.

Now, apparently and accepted,

These misguided thoughts 

Have been directed

To innocent others to whom they should not.

The worry I'm having, after this short respite,

Is that this wrong-headed person,

Reprises the drumbeat

And our situation worsens.

 
Don't You Worry About A Thing

            Another Shot

Twas More . . .

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/cross-legged

Leaning forward, now abandoned my yoga position,

I directed my attention with quite some suspicion 

The summer night air was unusually cool

In the break from the swelter August gave as a rule.

During one of his thuds on the screen to break in,

We saw the huge luna moth that was making the din.

He had beautiful colors, circles tail and antennae.

Either angel from heaven. Maybe ghoul from Gehenna.

He bashed and he battered towards the light from inside.

Must have knocked himself silly. Would have made me cross-eyed.

Music . . .

 

You're a star.

Where you wanted to be,

You now are.

From afar

You appear not too different

Than me.

But the scars

You've acquired 

Did not come free.

Had I tried;

Had I done all I could

With all my might

Would the ride

Give return on the price

Which was required?

Cast aside

Any thoughts of security.
