Niko on the porch with me. Dusk. Everything is in a light blue light. The duck and geese are making noise in their cage. Niko is watching in that direction, ears twitching a little bit (at the birds singing I think and the cars, etc. in the distance), and sniffing the air every once in a while. A few strips of smudgy clouds in the sky are a little pink. The sunset is on the other side of the house. That is, the sun is setting there. I suppose the “sunset” is everywhere. The occasional far away sound of an animal in distress makes Niko flinch. The sound of the duck and geese is low and consistent underneath everything, except occasionally when they are quiet or when a person comes near them and they scream.

Do you live near or along the Hudson River in New York state, and/or value the river–and rivers in general–as valuable resources that should be protected?
Then read this article: https://www.riverkeeper.org/blogs/ecology/storm-surge-barriers-for-ny-harbor-threaten-life-of-the-hudson-river/.
The Hudson River and its ecosystem are far older and more essential than the “critical infrastructure” these measures would be trying (and failing) to protect.
There is info towards the end of the article about ways to get involved. Please read, get involved, and share this information with people you know.

SONG
If I
could count the silence
I could sleep, sleep.
But it
is one, one. No head even
to gnaw. Spinning.
If I
could halt the glazed
spinning, surface of glass,
my mind
could shove in its fingers
and break apart
the smooth
singleness of the night—
until sleep dropped as rain
upon me.
— William Carlos Williams (The Pink Church)
