Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too

Today is my third anniversary with derspatchel. It's all melted by now, but this morning was the first snow of the season. It has been in many to most respects a terrible year. We are still here and we are going to do something to celebrate it.

Oh, confused late autumn. Like winter, but not.

Now it's cold and the heater's not working and we have to convince the building manager who doesn't like us to try to fix it. :-/

Okay, that's real winter. I'm sorry.

Celebrating seems the best way to say 'screw you!' to 2016

The best revenge is living, but living well is even more fun.

Our lives shall not be sweated, from birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies give us bread and give us roses!

I've been singing that in public & private for 41 yrs, and it still makes me happy to be among humans.

Congrats on three years. Even before Recent Events, our society undermines our ability to connect. Maintaining relationships is hard work!

I like that way of thinking about it.

All the roses to you on your celebratory day! I hope the cats don't eat them all.

Thank you! Fortunately, the roses were a metaphor and the cats didn't get them.

I think in your last entry (?) you mentioned getting choked up when you heard the song "Bread and Roses." Id never heard it, so I listened to the Bronwen Lewis version, since that's what you were listening to when you wrote this. It's lovely.

Happy anniversary, and many happy returns of the day.

I'm glad. As far as I can tell, it's a song I learned as an adult, but it hooked right into my heart. The version in Pride (which may be the version you found and listened to) begins as a solo and ends chorally, which makes it even more powerful to me.

Happy anniversary, and many happy returns of the day.

Thank you!
