Keep knowing failure leads to your superpower!
This is about failure. A reminder that it fortifies growth. Those focused on success or places far, the ideas just outside the box and with no path to funding. Those that force us to arise or learn to trust. All the ways we seek for real knowledge not whittled down by requirements. All things focused…

Keep flying through words.
They say to learn to fly, a bird must first leave a nest. I have been flying through words. I have been learning to break words open, to get at their bones and deal with words as though they were air. I am also learning to find not only how words get their meaning, but…

Keep dreaming still!
Those who write seldom die from pain. Survival is the only option for them. For only things that make them sane, things like light, stars, and anything else that dazzle in a full moon, will make them fertile beyond the night. These children of the sun and soil, whose bright depths rise silently still. These…

Keep knowing why you stand!
In a room where children confident and clear, soar and touch the eloquent world that emerges, there are melodies that mirror the skies eternity. They glow as if the love in us is singing to the love in us. They show happiness, glory, and beauty like the nectar of tea roses. We enter, knowing these…

Keep communities!
Let us talk about community, of how people meet. How meetings lead to community. Of how we loose all that matters, the meetings, the community, when we don’t meet. Meetings make communities. Then communities impact the world. I’m in a space where meetings with the right communities matter.

Keep dreaming!
I am learning to live while alive. To learn the way of moonlight and stars. To praise when I can and be silent when I can’t. For time is gift and I rather use it wisely dreaming. And dreams take us to places impossible. These dreams are like our heart beat, beating rapidly with each…

Keep the wonders of life!
They say life will be good. There is wonder here. So live it gently with fire and hope. Live it with music so sweet, your hips laugh. We did today, with the one named Belle. We sat in place full of songs. Like oceans. There is wonder here. We saw the skies, though grey, were…

Keep speaking!
There are those who speak with a voice full of ease. But I speak of persistence to those I love. So they readily meet life, choose love, just as they see it.

Keep unlearning learning!
The idea of unlearning intrigues me. Theories, methods, whose words, my words, how to unlearn learning agitates me. There are those who choose to remain as is. Choose their own perspectives or those of others as is. Yet, they forget, other perspectives exist. Those rarely discussed, rarely seen, rarely even known, exists. Yet there is…

Keep purple coneflowers!
I saw purple cone flowers on my morning run today. The past week has been a walk through hell. Seeing purple cone flowers were the sight I needed to wrap up a terrible week. I took a picture of the flower. I read what they stood for. Flowers like this thrive in open wooded areas.…

Keep Light Festival 2
We spoke to our inner selves today. In the middle of a festival for the public’s health by the public. There were stories of bravery, stories of change, stories of ovaries, stories of light. I left the day full. I imagine there will be moments like this in public health, moments where the source of…

Keep Belle’s depths with ease!
Only our memories will linger on, against the cobbled streets in the city of lights. And who can choose between there and here, between the depths of the past and the ease of now. Darkness every time will lose and who can choose between the joys of a future where Nkiruka or the hurdles of…
