Original prose by Mike Rowe Maybe you were out for a morning jog, like me. Or maybe a bike ride. Or maybe you were walking the dog when you glanced over, saw the water fountain, and recalled the many benefits of good hydration. Maybe you removed the retainer from your mouth, placed it on top of the fountain, and delighted in the cool refreshment that washed over your dry lips and melted into tongue on its way to your belly, past your soft palate and down your esophagus. Maybe it was one of those moments when you didn’t realize how thirsty you were until you began to drink, and kept on swallowing for ten, fifteen, or twenty seconds. Maybe, when you finally straightened up to continue on your way, you recognized a neighbor and stopped for a chat. Or maybe, you were simply distracted by the raw beauty of another gorgeous morning here in Northern California and paused to wonder just how glorious this place would be if it weren’t run by pimps and thieves who cared about nothing but staying in power. Then again, maybe you’re just a kid, not yet gobsmacked by the wonder of nature, or the hypocrisy of man. Whoever you are, you left your retainer on the fountain. Elena is an educator and activist, formerly associated with the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children and Mujeres Unidas de Idaho. JoyspringBy Roderick Paulin.

Bird Song ChorusReposted by Joanne Cole Click HERE to access video. The Birdsong Project is an endeavour organised by the Audubon Society as a ‘celebration of the joy and mysteries of birdsong’ via visual art, music and poetry. In this music video from the album For the Birds: The Birdsong Project, Vol II (2022), the celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma is seen and heard performing ‘In the Gale’, which he created in collaboration with the composer Anna Clyne. Perhaps the only piece of music written ‘for cello and birdsong’, the performance sees Ma alone with his instrument in a wooded landscape, performing the poignant work alongside a chorus of some of nature’s most gifted singers. Video directed by Ryan Booth.

I Made a Dream Come Trueby Alessandra Assaf Not long ago I dreamt that I took a screw and glued it to a U. Somehow this piece of junk created an uproar and I made a fortune selling them... Well today, restless with the stinking heat...cantankerous with the news of the day...I got out the glue. I know I'm not adding much to an already ornery world, but a bit like that priest who told Anthony Hopkins that "Fuck it" was the prayer of release...felt good doing this. Hey, I made a dream come true. Alessandra is a writer and actress, perhaps best known for roles in The Bully, Gallagher's Hurricane and Spooks. She is currently in a serious, longterm relationship with the city of New Orleans. A Number that Subverts Countingby Oedipa Maas He was not a mercy fuck at all, but the way he looked at me—stricken—and couldn’t take his eyes away eclipsed whether I wanted him or not. He wanted me so much I never got to consider whether the answer was maybe. It was “why not?” from the start. Click HERE to read Story Oedipa is a writer and activist living in New York City.
