Thank you for the reading and your insightful expression in response to the current times...dismay but moments where we can feel some hope and uplift....
Thanksgiving always to your comforting message..they always stir the most meaningful memories...I remember listening to Gloria from your first recording and was if not mesmerized then ceretainly
seeing you in concert from being feature act with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers at Miami Jai Alai Fronton 1976. Saving this time in with my late wife poet and painter Joie Cook. Zeitgeist Press...Poetry You Can Actually Read. Bruce Isaksson Publisher.
Patti, I agree that the remains of the tower should have been saved. Should have been the lasting memorial. When I saw the image (just about everywhere at that time), and each time thereafter, I shuddered. But I knew that its symbol was meant to never be lost. Thank you for sharing you words from that time in that book.
I e been under the weather as far as sickness and depression so late to the substacks but you're voice always makes me feel better and thank you for that... please keep reading to us!❤️❤️
And yes, the hat is fantastic! I have one similar in color but with ear flaps with tassels and a tassel on top! Your sister dint make mine so it doesn’t have as much love knitted into it!
I remember seeing those silkscreens in your exhibit at I.C.A. in Philadelphia the evening of a snow storm years ago. We spoke about them for a few minutes. They are impressive.
I find you a model of how I want to be in the world. Self expression is so courageous. You make it look so easy. I aspire to share my self with such ease.
I completely relate to feeling out of sorts and carrying on with wonder
Life is funny that way. I have loved your writing I have a small book shelf in my bedroom. It’s the first thing I look at each morning. It’s filled with my favorite most meaningful books and some photos and cards from loved ones. It’s an altar in a way to things I love and to feeling love. Your books are part of this shrine to life. Thank you for being on this platform. I’m so glad I found it. My niece turned me on to it.
I don’t know how or if we can share photos in a comment. If I figure it out I’ll send you a photo of my book shelf altar.

Interesting Patti your words in this chapter are so close in meaning to quotes I searched for today in Thomas Hobbes Leviathan for my own next post which I haven't compiled as yet, and 'Poor Things' my son wanted us to go see for his birthday 15th Jan we still haven't got there. Orange is a good colour for a glasses case.

Boy, there is a lot I could comment on. Beginning to end. That book, New Jerusalem, is intense to listen to. Very personal thoughts bubbling up…
I belly-laughed about the coat & knitted cap !thing. You can be SO funny! 😁 Anyway.
p.s. certainly....d

Thank you for sharing this remarkable poem. I need poetry more and more , it helps quiet and center my mind, in this harrowing world.
And the Poor Things swag is very cool.
🧡
I love this poem! Thank you for reading it. I love the hat too.
I'd love a copy of The New Jerusalem but I'll be pleased to have you read it to me.. still looking for a copy I can afford. Stay well be happy

Patti's beautiful photo is isomorphic with the last remaining hope in Pandora's Box.
I ❤️ you
