In the very end, civilizations perish because they listen to their politicians and not to their poets – Jonas Mekas

We’re living a troubling, dystopian piece of time right now. An ugly, growing stain is spreading across our country’s history, it’s reputation, the principles it was founded on. Where will it lead? Will we clean it up? Time will tell. But, lest we forget in all the chaos, this, the wild, matters too. Let’s not lose sight of that.

I think that light and shadow have exactly the same duality that exists between life and death.
