Thank you so much for this post and the clip from Meryl Streep. Her reference to mothers crying over their children...oh so much of this very historical moment we are in...
Happy New Year of the Dragon Patti! Thank you for tending to the garden of humanity's capacity for love; we live in a world capable of infinity, restrained by those who believe in control and possession.
It is warming to my heart to know that loving will always out-live and out-do hatred. I may not be there to see it, but I know in my mind that change and the opportunity to love are the only constants in this universe. 💙
Happy New Lunar Year 🐲 and how l would love to hear you sing Puff the Magic Dragon. Let’s hope The Wood Dragon brings good luck to all especially the children who are much in my mind these days. Love from London 🙏
Happy Lunar New Year Patti and everyone! There was quite a bit of celebration going on for the year of the Wood Dragon here in Liverpool Chinatown. Just came back home from there.
Thanks for the hints on the Wood Dragon, I really hope it’s a good year bringing some good things and successes :-)
Happy Lunar New Year, dear Patti! Thank you for your show last night at the Bowery Ballroom. What a treat to see you and hear you, and your top-notch band.
I very much appreciate you acknowledging the effects of war on the ground as you did in the video and for including the powerful short of "Mother Courage". War is so often framed in the context of politics but to strip down to most base of the reality torments us with the humanity, or lack thereof. It is brutal but so very important to not turn away. We all have to speak for the dead but there is surely no pain like a mother to lose a child. I believe we all absorb these souls and take on their struggles over and over til we can learn. This is a time of awakening and heightened consciousness that we are all a part of right now. White crow has blessed Anchorage with it's presence lately and is a powerful omen of just this. It may not be a dragon but absolutely is Puff in spirit; all white feathers and bright blue eyes, total embodiment of crow trickster too, scarfing Ben and Jerry's, dancing around, preening for the cameras. Quite a show of joy and new hopes for this present day history of change that is becoming. What a blessed time to bring about change!

Happy Losar Tashi Delek to you!
Thank you for sharing your time and good wishes with us.
What a powerful piece of theater and reminder of how war spares no one, not least of all the children.
I wish this lunar New Year for an end to war.

Ps: there was a very tiny sliver of the waxing moon to see here today in the afternoon. Very beautiful.

Darn, I can't afford to subscribe yet but hopefully some day.
NYC is so wonderful for accessible outdoor plays and music in the steamy summer months.
Brecht is always relevant, thanks for the clip of Meryl Streep, I'd never seen it. What you say about children and war is so damned true.
