About

Rake the Light is a welcoming intellectual space where writers and readers are invited to discuss contemporary issues and vital questions in an accessible, broad-minded exchange. The goal of this site is to bring together a cross-section of voices through meaningful conversations on important social, cultural, political, economic and spiritual issues—in essence, to create a virtual public square to break down ideological barriers, bridge divides, and connect strangers who may have otherwise never met.

Flack Me

Check out her apps, doll. Anti-aging tricks fully exposed. 2 steps will take off 20 years. Keep calm and be fancy. Lean in with sexy summer hair. Let me check my new followers. Fresh new pins! 
Oprah was right. Or was it Miley? 

Glittering stones dazed and distracted. Rapt attention cancels wonder. Lay down your head, little Queenling. The trolls have made you a crown.

    I like the way you string together the cliche / advertisements together like a necklace that glitters with our modern day noise and distraction. And the last line is great. Really it caps together the poem. Very smart.
