Keep this bliss!
Read more: Keep this bliss!As the bliss ends with some good friends, we are reminded that the sea is to be respected, every child is a sacred trust, live while you still breath, then make any day your way, whether a rude boy on the market, or standing next to mahogany trees, everything whispers here, the air, the rain,…

Keep knowing you are possible!
Read more: Keep knowing you are possible!Picture this, you sitting in a room across from the ocean. Palm trees rustling in the wind not bothered by the ocean. The sea is flowing in a rhythm of its own. And so are you, sitting in a rhythm of your own and there is a note here, on the wall and you are…

Keep this season of love!
Read more: Keep this season of love!The wind kisses your face, the ocean and its winds adore you too. If ever I was asked to describe a moment of bliss, what it felt like or what did I feel in that moment, I would say joy, for nothing else can describe what it feels like to be loved by the ocean,…

Keep our 4th LIGHT festival!
Read more: Keep our 4th LIGHT festival!We don’t know who smiled today, had hard times today, was full of light today or may die today. I know that if you see a day, feel moments from a day, touch with others a day, then we would live even if for a day. Today, in the presence of so many, like me,…

Keep these market dreams!
Read more: Keep these market dreams!Market women flow as if in a pattern. Clothes are often the same colors. Hair and smiles too. They seem to always appear the same, together, building, dreaming, together, as a show of force. They are always there, as a group, always a force as women. I spent the day walking down memory lane as…

We are learning to dwell in tight spaces, learning to dream with lower cases, learning to direct our tongues to lie still and listen. In the poem night vision by Lucille Clifton, she imagines a girl tired and in a tight space. She could either stay tired…

Keep Fathers!
Read more: Keep Fathers!I always greet this day with two emotions. One of happiness for Zobam and the fatherly role he plays for our children and so many other children. The same happiness holds for my brothers and uncles, mentors and friends, all of whom are fathers who in one way or another, color my life with happiness.…

Keep all your stories!
Read more: Keep all your stories!My dear dad once told me to focus on school, just do all that mattered with school, then my life partner would arrive. I listened. Cut my hair and dove straight into what being a doctoral student was all about, bald head and all with jewelry making on the side. Then my dad died and…

Keep being tough!
Read more: Keep being tough!Some of us are resisting being fried and shaken, being seasoned and oiled, being consumed and destroyed, or being blown into nothingness. We would rather be tough in our essence, tough like kernels that never pop, such that if they eat us, they choke. Gail Chandler has a poem about being old maids like…

Keep this grace!
Read more: Keep this grace!I rather live in a world with more grace, more mercy, more love…We are all flawed beings. Only by grace we remain. My son and I started to plant Lillie’s this spring. It was our first time and I didn’t know to put the bulb in one space at a time. We ended up putting…

Wishing you so…
