The Home

[Mirah]

The home is noisy

 

[Mirah]

I seek out a quiet corner
in a camping chair
in between boxes in a quilting room
looking at the patterns

 

[Mirah]

A reading nook
in between boxes
filtering out the noise
with low playing relazing music

 

[Mirah]

Art
creation
feeding the soul
Explore
investigate
wonder
seek

 

[Mirah]

things that were hidden
covered up
being discovered
dusting off
seen for the first time
forbidden by so many
for so long

Why are there so many witches in fairy tales? Evil step mothers, evil queens. Are there an equal amount of evil male characters as well?

 

[Mirah]

Through out life men and women have both had expectations of how they should behave or show up in the world
man should be loud and manly and fix things
woman should be quiet and womaly or girly and sew things, cook things

 

[Mirah]

It is these expectations that ruin us. Both societal and in our personal relationships. I expect myself to do certain things, behave in a certain way.

 

[Mirah]

Blue collar, white collar, artist, homemaker, student, we are defined by what we do, what we create, how we support ourselves and bring in the money

 

[Mirah]

If you are rich and popular there are certain expectations of how you will spend your $ and time, donate to charities, support others, "use your voice"

 

[Mirah]

No one who is poor and unpopular is ever told these things-except yes, how to spend thier $ also and how to make more, do more, be more.

 

[Mirah]

I have often seen the poor give so much more of what little they have, sometimes that poor has been me, my own family, we think, "They ought to save that dime they have and they are giving it away"
