Amicus Brief
What they call you is one thing.
What you answer to is something else.
Lucille Clifton, 1936 – 2010
The light of day was gone.
It was to honor a birthday
that we were at the Lighthouse,
a local tavern and gathering place.
An unknown to me, you were sitting
by yourself at the bar, a stranger.
When I came up to the bar,
what you saw and apparently imagined,
was not what was actually there.
For your own reasons you were
wanting to hurt, get down, forget.
Not for you and you alone did I
refuse to kiss your angry, drunken
axe, dismiss or ignore all the times
you were wronged, not heard,
demeaned, all the times you were
frightened, contracted, confused.
Full of party intentions, I was wearing
my favorite old coat, unraveling a bit,
threadbare, and apparently from somewhere
in Bolivia. When you asked if I was homeless
it was clear you believed I had no right
or reason to be at the bar, the gathering,
or occupy space at all. It was all so sad
and familiar. A response was needed but
not available. When I answered the fist
of your question, “Are you homeless,”
I could not sanction nor join another
confused distraction, nor support
the ignorance that brought this violence
to you that you were now bringing to me.
My answer, “Not at this time.” could never
quiet what was burning in you and the uncertain
tightening of this difficult meeting continued
in ways I have now completely forgotten.
Finally a person I never saw, claiming to know
each of us, said something that allowed you
to let go, begin to settle down. I was grateful
that at least on this night, self-loathing
quieted, no blood would be lost.
Lots of really good stuff and it’s all for sale at whatever price you want to apply that matches the value to you.
The sale starts at 10:00 and we’ll start packing up at about 2:30. Saturday the 8th.
No matter what the weather does to us, the sale must go on.
Proceeds go to the Food Pantry and Nehalem Senior Lunches.
Chili is also being sold at the same location from 11:00-1:00.
36060 10th Street just above the post office.
Musician Carol Shepherd will be here to provide percussive accompaniment to the story “Tanka Tanka Skunk” by author Steve Webb. This book is full of rhyme and rhythm, making it great for reading aloud with a group. After the reading, children will have time to play a variety of percussion instruments while learning about drums, the tambourine, and rhythm sticks!
This event is recommended for ages 3-5. Thank you to the North Oregon Coast Symphony for making these wonderful storytimes possible!

Our breath is powerful in so many ways. Most of the time we are not even aware of our breathing. Often we are anxious, overwhelmed or stressed, we will hold our breath, and that just makes everything worse.
Join us this Thursday to learn how to use your breath to move through overwhelm and into a realm where inner wisdom is accessible.
When: Thursday, 6-8pm
Where: St. Catherine’s in Nehalem
Registration is required: events.humanitix.com/shamanic-breathwork-journeys
