Hand of Ananke
The boundless enthusiasm
of youth
surrounding me
infusing me
with new purpose
and rediscovered optimism
I had put it in a safe place
in shelves
deep in my mind
locked away tight
and forgotten
where it knew it could never be challenged
Exposed once again to sunlight
it grows
billowing wild
with strange vigor
and unchained might
it strives to topple the status quo
The muscles of hope exercised
once more
stretching the knots
set in my mind
loosening their grip
and allowing me to move forward

Hello Rochester, NY Tumblrs!
Next Sunday, July 29 RocPIRG is organizing a rally and water tasting. As we have mentioned before, our state has some of the cleanest drinking water in the country. To showcase these we have people bringing water from around Monroe County, and even some from Ontario County, so we can all taste what we would be losing if hydrofracking came to New York.
Our day will begin at 4 PM at the Liberty Pole downtown Rochester. From their we will be rallying to Acanthus at 337 East Avenue. This will be followed up by a press conference from 5 PM to 6 PM and then from 6 until 8 we will have the water tasting. You will be able to sample water from the following communities:
- Webster
- Fairport
- Penfield
- Rochester
- Brockport
- Brighton
We hope to see you all out there. Let’s show our elected officials how much we love our New York water and how we will not let it be destroyed!
Thank you;
The RocPIRG Crew
