O, Day!
O, Day!
We play a sculpting game:
take turns,
add clay
and take away,
caress and punch
until the night
when aproned
night-shift sculptors
work in the dark.

Dear Editor: Thank you to Bettina Raphael and Western Friend for the worthy tribute to the life and legacy of Olive Rush (March/April 2020).
Dear Editor: I observe faithful Quakers often desire to travel to far countries by jet to follow their leadings. Surely there is merit in this, but how does that merit weigh against the harm to our atmosphere caused by jet emissions? Air travel harms our Earth, and jet emissions will contribute to the destruction of this world, which is not ours to harm.
Recorded by Tyger Wright during a Quaker meeting, these queries pose pointed challenges to Friends who wish to live in accord with their visions for a healthy Earth.
When I was a child I loved the cuddliness and innocence of animals, and I wished they could talk. A grownup and activist now, I look for ways to use art to awaken our empathy with the natural world and to increase our climate-change consciousness. As an artist and writer, I know what fun it can be to combine pictures and text.
