This song helps me channel the rage, to not stop 📞 ing my representatives who fund the bombs I wish were birds, the guns I wish were flowers. My body is shaking w/ grief+rage, yet as I sing, I know I’m in the company of abolitionists. Thank you.

Ayeka means "where are you?" Here's a song for fear, for searching for G!d, for love, for the garden where all is calm. 


Vayikra Adonai Elohim el ha-Adam vayomer lo 
Vayikra Adonai Elohim el ha-Adam vayomer lo 

Ayeka 
Where are you
Ayeka
I heard the sound of you 

Ayeka 
Where are you
Ayeka
the sound of you 

Vayomer et-kolcha shamati ba gan 
Vayomer et-kolcha shamati ba gan

Va-ira 
Ki erom
Anochi
va-echabeh

Va-ira 
Ki erom
Anochi
va-echabeh  


Ayeka 
Where are you
Ayeka
I heard the sound of you 
in the garden, and I was afraid
va'echabeh. 

Translation:

And G!d said to the human, saying to them
Where are you? 
And the human said
I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid,
for I was naked,
so I hid away.

Ayeka

Some kind of Christmas-Cookie… 

best wishes to all!

Being labeled a Russian propagandist all day every day for criticizing US foreign policy is really weird, but one advantage it comes with is a useful perspective on what people have really been talking about all these years when they warn of the dangers of "Russian propaganda".

Reading by Tim Foley.

They're Not Worried About "Russian Influence", They're Worried About Dissent

There are times when we are bewildered by circumstance and we don't know which way to go. Often it is best to trust the path we are on.

LYRICS:

My god! most swords don't beat themselves into plowshares
most walls will not fall on their own to the ground
their bombs won't just change into birds
their guns won't just clog up with flowers
but our hands and our hearts can beat swords into plows

may all whose bodies shake with grief and rage call out:
ceasefire now!

There is a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
