My mood today

Fierce Planet Posted on March 4, 2020 by jnfrMarch 4, 2020

Just listening to this over and over… They’d say I hustled Put in the work They wouldn’t shake their heads And question how much of this I deserve What I was wearing, if I was rude Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves.

All the best

Fierce Planet Posted on December 29, 2019 by jnfrDecember 29, 2019

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble — John Lewis (@repjohnlewis) June 27, 2018

The New Colossus

Fierce Planet Posted on August 13, 2019 by jnfrAugust 13, 2019

A poem by Emma Lazarus. Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost … Continue reading →
