Keep being as ambitious as children!
I am understanding why children run bare feet on grass, why they prefer to climb trees every day. They know their legs and all it carries or climbs, belong to the earth.

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!
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 the messy magical start of your dreams!
At the messy magical start of your dreams, you will be long on ideas and short on time. Somethings will force you to change and change the dreams to save your soul. You will dwell in anything and nothing perfect and terrible. Of all the lives possible to you, the one you will choose is…

Keep the WashU LIGHT public health summer camp for children 3-8th grade!
If I was to linger for a little while, about a day, I would choose today, choose this very important day, where teachers taught and we listened and children taught and we listened and it’s as if both were necessary, teachers and children teaching, and listening, and perhaps we can have more trustworthy public within…

Keep kindness!
Some words of kindness, unmeasured from my heart, are meant to remind you, remind me too, that this life, as measured and as unkind as it may be, still requires all of us to be kind.

Keep these lessons of falling leaves!
Even if leaves descend, even if they descend brittle and frail to the ground below, even if they are swept away by wind or birds, leaving trees and branches empty and alone, at least they fell, they moved down before going up and away, and we are here, forgetting the lessons begin first on the…

Keep these delights of life!
I’m learning to delight in things that dazzle like light, to bask in the pleasure and knowledge of everything that glimmers after rain, to dwell in moments that kindle, so I kindle too with every moment of life even if for a little while. These words were flowing while nursing a 4 year whose delight…

Keep stories about grief and love for children through books like Bloom!
Before the end of today, about 1,200 children in the U.S. will lose their parents. This translates to about 432,000 children annually. By the time most children turn 18, at least 1 in 13 of them would have lost a parent. My first death experience was as a teen through the loss of grandmother and…

Keep Mother’s Day!
If you ask me which blessings are wild, I may speak of the day I smiled next to a lion, moments where my walk was straight and confident, the day we held hands in the sight of many stands tall, so too the moment we laid eyes on a country life. Something’s have forced me…

Keep global health!
I would rather study global health than any other field, yet all fields have their force worthy of reflections. Complex issues requiring multiple lens pulls me forward, bravely, to navigate, even if slowly, what can be done to address the complexity. Global health requires many endeavors with ample narratives that require us to turn the page…

Keep this people lesson!
Here, people come together. Call it culture, call it a festival, but here, people come together, whether the wind blows or the the trees bend, whether the sun and its moon explodes or the stars refuse to twinkle at night, still here, people come together, whether it rains or snows, whether absolute or flawed, whether…
