All I could hear was the voice saying to me:
'‘Your fear is a wall you must overcome and ultimately bring down.
To tear down this wall is your calling,
to challenge the fear instilled in you by others,
and not to let terror overwhelm you, no matter how small you feel.
This wall was sent to test you,
but you must prevail
to scale it,
and break it down,
brick by brick,
and rebuild your house.’

For the women…Saving the Arctic by Jay Ramsay
The very thought of it
could make your palms sweat.
Sheer dizzying ascent of glittering hot glass ice!
Scaling it, this monument
spire of spires
bared under a Godless sky
pyramid of Mammon
where only corporations rule…Pharoahic
summit sheared off like a knife
tip snapped to skeletal scaffolding…
