Saturday Morning September 19, 2020
I did this painting for a prompt (which I later altered and will post at some point), but it works for this message from the Oracle today.
death aches us
in black chants
she whispers:
do not ask me
to stop time
watch the sky–
her ship is a light
singing through the moon
in the language of
a shining wind
May our actions and words continue and honor the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

We (and the Oracle) were definitely on the same wavelength today. Yes, definitely aches and black chants.

I would never have come up with “death aches us” on my own. But it is so true as an emblem of the world right now.

Kerfe I see this for Ruth and I see it for the big picture. Mother Oracle transmits and may those who read it pay heed. Looking at the painting in light of the poem, it conjures up all sorts of thoughts.

Thanks Jade. Yes I think She was speaking to the larger picture as well.

I am. Its been a long time since I did any writing or art, at least it seems that way. I’m hoping to post today the dverse prompt I was trying to post all those weeks ago when they switched me to block editor, and I have a few other things I did before I stopped working. But I plan to get back to work this week. This apartment just feels better. No more room but the layout and atmosphere are different. My plants seem happier too.

The news broke after one of the worst fights my partner and I have had in our 20+ years (and we’ve had a few in the lockdown). Him, first thing this morning, poking his head into my room as I’m reading the news in bed: “Did you hear?” Me: “Ruth? Yeah…” You and the Oracle. Me and the tarot, drawing Justice. All of us together this day, honoring her legacy in art and verse. Pressing on.

We must keep fighting for justice. We can’t let the battles she fought for and won slip away.
