Dearest Ramona - I had the same epiphany a few days ago. I passed the first year anniversary and sat down to write about it. Then some idiotic thing on the news made me take an older article about dark money and revisit it. In the four years since I wrote it, it resonated even more strongly. I sat back when finished with the revisions and realized that all through the two years of hospice I wondered what I would do with the rest of my live that was - and is - meaningful. I can't walk away from our world - that would be cowardly, and what if something I do or write or say a actually makes a difference that makes a difference that makes a difference....That's what I want to do. I'm using Two Crones as a jumping off spot, hoping to reach a lot of older women (ourselves...) who want to become as active as possible. So I'm with you - let's exchange articles and build our groups. I'm staying on Medium for the time being, and I think Michelle will be staying on Substack. And I think after 6 months of our writing we should look at the best of what we've done and publish as a set of "liberal" essays to save us all. What say you? Off to analyze Timothy Snyder's take on the genocide policy of Russia. I ma need extra anxiety meds by the end of this one. Love you, dear Woman - I think a retreat in the UP would be wonderful.
