The Blessed Madonna Instagram – Sometimes when a bone breaks, it must be rebroken to heal. I think I did that. It’s been a long month. America was beautiful and sad and lonesome and not at all lonesome, but the opposite. I saw horror and beauty— that even the American Horror Machine couldn’t kill. I’m leaving half empty and half full. I can’t see my husband’s seat on the plane. I know he’s here. I still feel like I could die. He won’t see this either. And that’s ok too. Im sure of a few things: I know music, art, bravery, a big mouth, a big heart, a broken heart, tenderness, and a belief that we must fulfil the promise of our particular destiny are the only way forward.
So America, the beautiful, I leave you with this.
Fuck the president. Fuck the fash. Fuck the future. The only thing that is real is love and who we are right here and right now. Do what you have to do to live. Stand with your neighbor, even if it means standing between some GI Joe loser and that neighbor.
Right now, you get to decide what kind of person your descendants and the people that knew you when you lived this short but wide life, get to brag about, or what dreadful thing you are doing they’ll feel deep quiet shame about. My ancestors bequeathed both. I don’t plan on fucking around on this particular issue. I know every second counts. Every hug counts. Every time you notice pain and decide to help heal it. Every time you make straight what was crooked. Every time you take the hit that could have gone to someone weaker than you. Who are you now? A warrior of love or an embarrassment. I am not perfect. But even my anger is a kind of love right now. I’m grateful to be angry. I’m also grateful to be filled with a love so wide and deep it’s like an ocean. Sometime gentle waves lapping onto the shore and sometimes too much love,massive crashing tidal wave pulling me to sea. And then for a while I just have to swim. Back to the world.
I will miss you til the next dance. There will be many and soon.
Til then,
America is a riot.
And the rest of you fucking lot are on notice. I’m coming home and if you forgot, I am now and always have been on the side of the angels. And we have swords and falling first doves. | Posted on 24/Nov/2025 04:43:07
