We need some words from you Patti, I’ve never personally had these particular feelings before. Thad things I read this morning are do trite and dismissive. This is our world. Our universe. So much pain, what’s next…such dismay.
That was really lovely to watch. I'm so glad "Paris Texas" has been restored and reissued and is screening in cinemas around the world this year - tomorrow all around Italy!
Thank you for this little break. I am French living in France and I am so sad of the results of American elections !!!!!! No word ! And at home it was almost the same whith the results of the elections of members of parliament whith the extreme right leading… People have the power but often people doesn’t choose the best way. But you give us always positive attitude !
I’m coming here because it’s a place I hold dear. I became very sick in the early morning hours of Election Day and ended up in the hospital. By how sick I was I knew what the outcome of the election would be. I didn’t say or post anything because I did not want to spread negative energy and I tried to think positively despite feeling the awful truth in my body.
I don’t know what to say. I just wanted to come here. I have no wish to give up but I can’t seem to control my body’s response.
I wish this were an actual place we could be to get a break from all the hatred and suffering.
Thanks to everyone here and especially you, Patti. I wish everyone strength.
Dear Robin, I'm so sorry to learn about your health situation over the last few days and I hope with all my heart that you'll get better soon. This place is dear to me like it is to you and for sure a blessing in such complicated times. May artists like our dear Patti be a guiding light to us all. I wish I could find encouraging words but honestly I'm at a loss for words now, and in sorrow like you. In Europe it doesn't get better and the wind is blowing to the right. Also in Italy we have a right wing government. Last summer I ran as councillor candidate in the municipal elections in my town but our fellow citizens chose a right wing coalition and we lost in the run-off. This is democracy, and we have to accept to lose. But never give up! You are in my thoughts Robin, and if there's anything I can do for you I will. Sending you a warm hug and a smile 😊 Anna
Good for you for running as councillor candidate in the municipal elections in your town. I’m sorry you lost but I hope you will run again.
I am not going to let this bring me down. I have fought my whole life for justice and kindness and I will never give up.
With all my heart, I thank you and everyone in this community - including and especially Patti - for being a place of strength and hope. Who could have known when Patti built this house what a fortress it would be, a place of strength, hope, creativity, and community?
We are all here, alive, and we will survive. We’ll read and write and sing and paint and with all our strength fight the good fight.
Hello Robin, You have no wish to give up and that is the most important part of reclaiming your health. Sensitive people, caring people, have extra vulnerabilities that need to be protected. Secure your inner self as if for an approaching hurricane. Lock up the windows and huddle within with supplies you need- some source of light, something to read, a personal indulgent treat. Give your soul a spa day. Survival is first. Let happen outside what will happen. The time will come when you feel well enough to venture out and see the damage.
Thank you so much, Maria. I am trying to do that and will keep trying. My body is pretty worn down at this point from all that’s happened and happening.
I am truly grateful for this space and for your kind and strengthening words. I wish you well always,
Robin, first I hope you feel better. Second I came here this second for the same reason. All the alarm bells went off in my apt building around midnight last night and could not be silenced. It lasted a good (or bad) 30 mins. I have to see that now as a prophecy.
I am not sure what went wrong last night, it seems surreal. I am not sure how to feel about it in my position either. All we can do is hold hope in our heart and march on towards 2028!
That is so strange about your apartment, Lee. What an awful prophecy.
I am glad you came here too. Your recents posts of Patti’s performance at Joe’s Pub have been such a joy to me. I listened to Patti for nearly two hours yesterday while in an MRI machine. It is amazing how much one can endure with her voice in one’s ear.
I am glad you have hope in your heart, Lee. May it last forever,
I'm glad you liked the posts and videos Robin. I had everyone here in mind when I took them. I have posted many to my Notes on here if anyone wants to see the. Let us all keep hope and move forward. We cannot change what has happened but we can shift our attitude to meet the challenge!
Oh, Robin. First of all, I hope you are released from the hospital as soon as possible. Your health is the most important thing.
And yes, the election results are devastating. What can I say? From the distance of Canada (not that distant), we can only fight the good fight as best we can. We have our own election coming up next year and the right-wing has a big lead. We have our battles too.
But, mainly, just take care of yourself. Let us know how you're doing. You are so important.
Thank you, Jim. I am home now because I am too immunocompromised to be safe in the hospital. The woman who used to babysit my children when they were young and I was working slept over last night. But I need to find someone to stay over tonight. I don’t know what will happen but I’ve been as strong as I can and will continue to be for as long as is possible.
I hope that your elections turn out better than ours did.
that was so lovely to see... I loved your 'almost got it right'...a beautiful little summing up of how we go in the world....
So fun to see! Rest in peace,Mr. Shepard. Love.
Thank 4 sharing, levity is needed
Thanks Patty, definitely good to laugh!
Even if through tears.
A much needed reprieve. Thank you, Patti!
We need some words from you Patti, I’ve never personally had these particular feelings before. Thad things I read this morning are do trite and dismissive. This is our world. Our universe. So much pain, what’s next…such dismay.
Sam Shepard looks defiant in his role as Chuck Yeager in the movie "The Right Stuff," but he seems very at home in Patty's video.
So sweet and funny! Thank you for sharing with us.
That was really lovely to watch. I'm so glad "Paris Texas" has been restored and reissued and is screening in cinemas around the world this year - tomorrow all around Italy!
Yes Jay, in Italy and luckily also in my town, next Friday and Saturday! 🤗
Thank you for this moment of joy, Patti.

It was indeed a wonderful evening. Glad you enjoyed:)

i hope you have success in finding someone to stay with you as you need, thinking of you, praying for the best
Thank you so much, Lena. I greatly appreciate your good wishes. I am with my dog and we are okay. I’m so grateful for that.
Wishing you well,
Robin
As always, wishing you the best, my friend. I hope everything works out for tonight.
Thank you so much, Jim. I’m home with Max (my dog) and Patti’s message has been so strengthening.
As ever,
Robin
So special.
Thanks Stacy.
A beautiful November morning in Scotland brings not such beautiful news from across the ocean ! ☹️
Thank you Patti for this moment of fun and friendship with Sam . Sending good thoughts to all. 🍂
