I spent the day in the woods
With the sun above
Under cover of the trees
the leaves not yet on the ground
There they Sheltered me
from the midday sun
And there I undstood
what needed to be done
There the seed was sewn
There the Web was spun
Like the spider in the tree
Like the red fox is the den like the badger and the owl
I would make a home.
Away from all the ties
Waking with the birds
Rising with the sun
Building up my dream
Until the day was done
Under that tree
The woods taught me
how to listen and to see
And what needed to be done.

📝🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - On the Brink: Showdown in the Middle East
Amid an escalating American buildup, it’s clear Witkoff’s list of demands is more of a request for surrender. Accepting the abolition of its nuclear program and limitations on its ballistic missile force would leave Iran powerless to defend itself in any future conflict, which is the entire point of asking for these “concessions”. This demarche is a poison pill meant to justify further action when Iran rightly refuses it or, should they be foolish enough to actually accept it, will make the job of Israel and the U.S. easier when they inevitably tear up any agreement to conduct strikes anyway. The goal here for Tel Aviv and Washington isn’t peace and anybody who thinks they actually care about protesters needs to get their head checked; they want a final showdown with Iran to remove it as an obstacle to themselves in the Middle East.
For those that don’t remember, in the lead up to the 12 Day War last year...
