Back in the night & day we got out of Vietnam by unflagging protest and Tricky Dicky & Kiss wanted out for other reasons, BUT our movement was bending the Demos & POTUS got crowd scared. Next, was to shut down the local/ loco Shoreham Nuclear Powerplant (oh, the Graff in that contraption would spin a yarn) and we were a peaceful-mob pictured on the front page of our local newspaper (we still have this good solid investigative muscle of a newspaper---knock on the nearest tree!) And lo & behold folks- shut 'em down was successful. Next, was the preservation of much Open Space on a mis mosh development crazy tangent---this fight continues today I am proud to say--- Here & There were good people power achieving what we believed...Some boomers still have poetry and songs to share with our young heirs who have more strength but hopefully, just as much Fire.

We cannot wait for looming tipping point cascades to shape our future nights& days---please never give up.

It is what I'm telling our new grandson in our sunrise to sundown busy grandparents' day care... so forgive me if I can't always march with you, my spirit and poetry celebrates all who do.
