Views from off the news feed. The Oregon state capitol building in Salem. 8220;She flies with her own wings.”. This is the state motto of Oregon, but don’t ask me why. I’m guessing the “she” is referring to the land itself, which Manifest Destiny always imagined as female and ripe for conquest. A depiction of the glorious arrival of Lewis and Clark on the Pacific Coast. Harbingers of Manifest Destiny. Is rooted in a long and sad history of racism. in the 1850s, Oregon was the only state where blacks ...

untitled peom – Brief and Wondrous

Views from off the news feed. A large animal’s body up the hill’s side through scrub oak and. Ponderosa and there was the smell of musk and blood and deer. Droppings and we kept the ridge of the next hill in sight and I kept. You in sight and I tried hard to never let you out of my sight. You brought peace to me. And then you didn’t. But you still searched for me. For that part of me that needed you. That ache in my days. And after a while I began. I no longer think about whether that makes you sad or not.

November 2016 – Brief and Wondrous
https://briefnwondrous.wordpress.com/2016/11
Views from off the news feed. Up a creek (and a beach). Back again after some much-needed post election rest. As the year winds down, I will be coming up with some novel-writing goals for the year and posting more of that process on this blog.

Through Culver City and the LA neighborhood of Mar Vista, and ends in a wetland preserve just south of Marina Del Rey. I’...

Is Deficit Reduction Dead on Arrival? - I Type Words

David Morton lives in Chattanooga, Tenn. Monday, April 2, 2012. Is Deficit Reduction Dead on Arrival? James Kwak reads the tea leaves on two House votes last week — passage of Paul Ryan’s budget resolution and the defeat of Simpson-Bowles. It seems that nothing will change until one party has a complete sweep of Washington. And perhaps not even then: Would Republicans really pass the Ryan budget if they knew it would become law, gutting Medicare and every other government service? 8592; Previous post.
