Grand gestures are important but sometimes a lot of petit thoughtful gestures add up over time to the truest grand gesture and that person wins it all (the heart)

Week of 4/7 in Libra: Golden plants and a nice reminder. You are meeting so many people. You can go around and around with love. Hold true to the embrace.

Week of 4/7 in Aquarius: So many eyes can know the difference in the words. Read it over and over again. And then make the purple go into itself. Finally a sweet reminder.

I am moved by the integrity of the authors withdrawing from prize lists to protest PEN America's refusal to name the genocide in Gaza and failure to meet their stated aims of protecting free speech and Palestinian writers. Here are their books to buy bookshop.org/wishlists/7166…

Holy shit. "The $75,000 prize accompanying the PEN/Stein award will be donated, this year, to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund at the direction of the Literary Estate of Jean Stein." publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in…
