Morning Commute
by Kay Kestner:
Everyday her canvas soled shoes
cross the street, travel down our road,
and disappear into the woods. There
is a city on the other side of the thin
forest.
She does not bother with the bus,
does not catch the train. Her soft shoes
commute through the pines and oaks
and undergrowth. The birds and squirrels
travel with her as they pass from branch
to branch already working.
It does not matter much to her
what job she holds in the city
she just enjoys this commuting.

Do Something for Democracy
Given the rapid changes to our government in the United States, it’s vitally important for us to speak up. Silence and apathy will only embolden a leader who serves his own agenda – an agenda that undermines democracy both within the US and around the world.
Every small act adds up when we all “do something.” Even if it’s just making one call, once a week to one of your representatives – that adds up!
The resources on the Do Something for Democracy page give you ways you can take action. Find what fits your comfort level. No one can do it all, but we all can do a little something.
