Keep this quiet storm!
The roosters are coming home. Every single one of them. What they forgot is that we are where we are by design. Where they fail to understand or see our worth, we know it to be our worth. Nothing we touch is by accident. We decide too what we touch. So it gives me great…

Keep this dreamlike year!
About dreams that hang in air. I have seen them and they are me. I call them too, the art of grant writing. Something about writing inspirational grants will make you become like dreams that hang in air. They will stick to you like smoke all over your clothes and demand things and time in…

We started this year in an inescapable cycle of suffering. We were also exhausted. Until we decided to claim some power over everything.

Keep moving like the ocean…
And still we retrace our footsteps and follow the black rocks, the spiraling purple flowers, the rough and smooth pavement, the cracked cry of the ocean, all the way back to where dreams first began.
