Keep Easter!
The enormity of rain, with all its drops, that thrust from the skies above to the earth below, is that it empties itself out, Iike words written as if from the core of an empty tomb. Only the tomb is not empty and we have memorized how to rise from the dead and these words…

Keep this vigil
Nothing stops the agony, ends the worry, understands the hurry, that, surpasses the glory, and sustains the story, of the time the son of God, rose from the dead. Nothing

Keep Good Friday!
Blood and water gushed from sides where man stood as God. If life ends today, I hope our sides are full of water, full of blood, full of things that bend with light.

Keep the generation who choose hope!
There is a generation whose morals may cause fear to creep in. When you see them dragging themselves into a mud of darkness, when you see them slide over snakes as if they are one, when you see them loop around together in an image that only tells the story of themselves. Don’t worry for…

Keep why you write!
These days I’m learning that even leaves on the ground have invisible wounds that are always shared with strangers. So too the words within us. They reveal us. To write increases the revelation shapes our actions. I am learning that words carry the joy, the sorrow, yet still the optimism of every writer. However tall…
