About Me

teifidancer: Just an individual based in West Wales, I follow freedoms breath and international solidarity. This blog just random stuff, some borrowed some new. Write a bit of poetry which I sometimes share here. My brain socialist, my head anarchist, my eyes pacifist, my blood revolutionary, laughter is the best medicine, but there are other ways. I try to keep dancing.

" The invisible is only another unexplained country, a brave new world." - Angela Carter

"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our governments, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful. " - Kurt Vonnegut

“Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. ” - William S.Burroughs

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
―Ursula K. Le Guin

"I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light." - Mahmoud Darwish

"In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues. " - George Orwell"

"Art is Not a Mirror to Reflect Reality But a Hammer to Shape It!" - Bertolt Brecht

"As you sleep and count the planets, think of others- there are people who have no place to sleep/As you liberate yourself with metaphors think of others- those who have lost the right to speak./And as you think of distant others- think of yourself and say- I wish I were a candle in the darkness"
Mahmoud Darwish
