Keep your why!
When will you have a pity for every soft thing that walks through the world including yourself? These words by Mary Oliver forced me to begin this note that I didn’t want to write. Some things have walked through this life, through some chapters that left me saying it’s better for the heart to break…

Keep understanding life!
The Igbo people have a popular saying that nothing new happens under the sun. Life is in constant motion and anything that is happening now has happened before and will happen again. We are making jewelry again. This life will bring you back to your beginning when you think of it again. We began jewelry…

Keep your game, your system!
I am learning that there are games we can’t play. Some stacked against us so that the only option left is to simply not play. You can choose to play a different game. One where you simply observe how the games are being played and maybe hope that one day, soon enough, you will be…

Keep the bridge between us!
I am intentionally busy this year. Intentionally cutting myself of things that do not serve me. If I am quiet, if I am so quiet that a pin drops, know it’s not you but me. I’m learning that how we see ourselves, you and me and whatever bridge that is between us depends on us…

Keep words that echo louder!
If words echo, if they do so without losing their beat, rhythm, pulse, or wind, our eyes will close. This last day of summer, before kids return to school, I closed my eyes, and words echoed in my soul

Keep don’t worry!
If what you do imitates your mind, if it does that in service to your light, then destiny is yours, patience too, plus a deep, generous cycle of goodness, excellence too, all woven like knots tied around your neck and your hands, these images born out of your mind, all in service to the light…

Keep words that dwell in you!
The words I write, are always wanting to be of use for a day. Today, three words crept into my soul from the beginning and so I wrote them down again. Be of use. To whom, I wondered. Myself. Of course I will make use of my time on earth. But who else, my Zobam,…

Keep lazy rivers!
Today I sat by a lazy river and let the sun and its rays soak me deep. There were purple flowers along the river and children sharing how angle fishes swim slow just like the river. I sat wondering if this is heaven or what else can describe how you prevail through storms. So if…

Keep these soulful moments!
I imagine the water of my soul, on certain days, slowly flowing and at peace. There maybe deep longings and memories made of light, still I know moments blazing like bonfires in awe of the sweetness of the dark. Keep this. The past couple of days have not been easy for so many still dealing…

Keep all your failures!
Consider yourself lucky if only unheard sounds joined to stop your flow through air. They call it failure, defeat, disappointment, even how your deficiency stopped you short from a priceless victory. What holds, what binds you still isn’t the failure bearing down your broken bones. Rather all of them, the bones, the air, the unheard…

Keep stars!
When it’s over, we will still say that we were bright like stars. So many things tried to dim our light, but like stars we stood brighter than the clouds on any given day. When it’s over, we don’t want to regret anything. Not the times we worked with people crazier than the skies on…
