In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Blast in Iraq 

I need to stop watching this stuff. I think I need to be witness to it. Someone has to be witness to it. Yet I don't know what to do to stop it. We each do what we can?

A bomb has gone off in Baghdad. Dozens of people have been killed. At least initially when US soldiers arrived on the scene to help, they were pushed away by the citizens. What an image. It says everything, doesn't it? They know the US is complicit in the creation of these horrors.

It reminds me of all those cell phones ringing after the bombings in Spain. Something about that image of phones ringing amongst the dead and dying said all there was to say.
