even
if only
for
a moment
stand
right there
be still
be silent
let the
world
go
around you
there
is no need
to move
there is
no need
to rush
there is no
need
to do
anything
just
be still
for as long
as you can
for
as long as
you want
for as
long as
you need
stand in
stillness
when you
know how
you
will
know
why

Shameless cries
at night, voices
out of sync or
out of sight. Who
really owns the
pain at 3:48 a.m.?
Who does the
darkness belong to?
This is where the
people live. Can you
feel the hurt?

Each postcard tells a story, as brief as it may be.
The limited writing space and photograph of a thing of place, with just enough news to show you were there.
Send me a postcard from home.
Tell me something about where you live; a little-known fact, something significant or another thing you think somebody needs to know. Perhaps a poem, limerick, or haiku; tell me what home means to you.
Don’t just send a card; send a message.
The oostcards will be used in October during homecoming month at mythosandmarginalia.com
During October, contributing writers will offer impressions of home, where it is and what it means to them.
Postcards From Afar is intended to add a global perspective and make this planet a little smaller, and a little closer.
I’d like to hear what home means to you.

We, generally, question ourselves daily, but more specifically on days like today or the one before, or a few weeks before that.
The resounding questions of why are overwhelming and obvious.
Sadly the solution is not.
It seems so insane to say we have ot have greater faith in humankind when the tragedies we see and feel are neither kinda nor humane.
But what else have we got if we don’t have faith?
It becomes harder and harder to have faith in the self, in the system, in spirituality or religion, but we must.
Now is the time to be strong; questioning our faith will only make us weaker.
j.g.l.
It is the questions that heighten your wisdom, not the answers.
We wonder with each question and learn more with each response, correct or incorrect.
Knowledge offers opportunity.
Information offers strength.
What do you need to know?
