"Buy nothing for a day" is a good start. Buy nothing for a week if you can. And if you're able to, buy nothing inessential for as long as possible. Chop the head off the snake.

Too often in workshops and classrooms there is a concentration on the poem's garments instead of its life's blood. —Linda Gregg, from “The Art of Finding”

can't stop thinking about this little (vast) poem
Of Absence
by Linda Gregg


I climb the mountain
up steps the moon has already taken. 
Of absence. Of things broken.
To see if the moon is a mouth.
To see if I am what it wants.

Paul Celan said that the poem was no different from a handshake... The handshake is our decided ritual of both asserting (I am here) and handing over (here) a self to another. Hence the poem is that—Here. I am here. —Claudia Rankine, from Don't Let Me Be Lonely

"despite it all..." we keep trying. poem by @nikitagill.bsky.social
A Reminder from Smaller Beings
The bird building her home on your windowsill
has had every nest destroyed before.

The spider that is delicately weaving a silken masterpiece
has had every single thread broken before.

And despite it all,
they try again.
