I am where little darlin’ meets menace.😏

Outside & out loud grieving tonight under the moon in my dad’s pocket hammock.

I feel like a lean packaged ham-
How fitting,

Will I forever be distraught?
Is abandonment my life lesson?
I’m not low but I’m so very sad.
🥺

In Homer’s Odyssey, Circe lives alone on an island. She is skilled, intelligent, self-sufficient. Men arrive at her door expecting hospitality and dominance. Instead, she gives them wine laced with magic and turns them into pigs.

For centuries, that transformation has been read as punishment. The dangerous woman. The emasculator. The seductress who strips men of power.

But look closer.

Circe does not hunt men. They come to her. They enter her space, consume what she offers, assume control. And suddenly they are revealed as what they already are—greedy, impulsive, ruled by appetite. The spell doesn’t create the pig. It exposes it.

What terrifies patriarchal storytelling is not that Circe is evil. It’s that she is autonomous. She lives without a husband. She commands knowledge traditionally coded as forbidden—herbalism, potions, transformation. She controls who stays human and who does not. She negotiates with Odysseus as an equal once he proves he cannot be easily subdued.

For women, Circe becomes a mirror.

She represents the fear society projects onto women who refuse submission. A woman with boundaries is called cold. A woman with power is called dangerous. A woman who refuses to soothe male ego is branded monstrous. “She turned him into a pig” becomes shorthand for “She took away his dominance.”

But there is another reading.

Circe is not destroying men. She is demanding accountability. She is the embodiment of consequence. Enter her world carelessly, and you will be transformed by it.

This year has been unexpectedly & abruptly tough on sis & I. I couldn’t think of a better way to happily grieve.

Ryan Bingham & The Texas Gentlemen have played together 15+ years. 15 years ago after Bobby died I BAWLED his entire show.

I am different.
This show soul healed.👏🏽
