The Power of Refusing to Amplify
Headlines
Boot on the chest
Post, Chronicle, Times
Inculcating what we detest
Shallow breath
…
Rest, refresh
Realize and embody
What you want to come next
Refuse to amplify
At evil’s behest
Wear your values
As a crest
And shield

And finally…
What do you turn to, to refill your own cup?

I start the day by reading a couple of poems and meditate or do yoga or write. I look at the news later in the day. Heather Cox Richardson, the Contrarian, the NYT. I read lots of poetry.
That is a nicel little poem. Thanks for the voice-over. You have a nice, soft-spoken voice, calming, relaxing.
