Here are some thoughts I wrote up after the recent election. Many have found this archetypal perspective helpful.
And here is an antidote to bitterness and fear.
The Perfume/Of Flowers!…
The perfume
of flowers! A haw
drops such odour
it stops me
in the wall
of its fall. Love
arrests
Lime-trees
saturate
the night. We walk
in it
On a path jonquils
fill
the air. Love
is a scent
— Charles Olson
