It didn’t occur to me until Luisa pointed it out, but I guess the poem and video are pretty via negativistic — which makes it fitting, perhaps, that I went to the trouble of inserting a VN logo for the first time (the character mu/wu, in case anyone’s curious. Though I’m thinking perhaps I should’ve used the version from seal script instead, as it is way cooler looking).

My friend, you are the antidote. (Well, MY antidote at any rate!)

The last line is particularly good. I also love the idea of surviving these media-pushed anniversaries.

We are for
the most part ignoring
the extraordinary events taking place
all around us in field & woodlot,
in the air & soil & water
from which we are knit.

That says it all!
