Home

no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark…

no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear
saying-
leave,
run away from me now
i dont know what i’ve become
but i know that anywhere
is safer than here

Lesenswert, ein umfassender Überblick über die weltweite Überalterung: „…Slightly higher fertility rates and more mean the United States and Australia, for example, will be younger than most other rich countries in 2050. […] just under 24 percent of the population is projected to be 65 or older in 2050,[…] but lower than in most of Europe and East Asia, which will top 30 percent.“ nytimes.com/interactive/2023/0

The art of exile,
like dying
or being reborn,
requires a life
of practice.

My great-grandfather stole money to get on a ship and come here. Then, as today, if you had enough in your pocket, you entered, no questions asked. He changed his name on the ship, cutting ties with the old country. All that matters is making a success in this country. That’s what I grew up with.
Love matters.
Compassion matters.
Family matters.
Kindness matters.
Do what you can to make the world better for everyone.
Everyone.

'"Did the biblical Lazarus dream, locked in the clayey cave? Did he rememer his life in death – all of it, every moment? Did he remember the mornings... waking up with a sunbeam moving across his face like a smile?

And once he was resurrected, did he remember being dead, or did he just enter another dream of another life? Did he have to disremember his previous life and start from scratch, like an immigrant?”

Not to put too fine a point on it, but why would we want to let you all in? 😜

Our friend & Wright College professor Sydney Hart was on ABC7 Chicago news advocating for 400+ asylum seekers being housed at her college over the Summer.

"We have space. And we are a community college. We always talk about putting the community in community college," said Sydney Hart, Wilbur Wright College professor.

FYI: These are the immigrants bussed as a political stunt & heartlessly dumped on Chicago by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
