Keep being a dream.
I am forever inspired by Langston Hughes. His poem “Hold fast to dreams” is an affirmation of sorts for my life’s work. The idea too of bringing all your dreams, another poem, inspires me. I am moved by the idea where we could do the following from another poem: “I dream a world, where all…

Keep the cycle of dreams!
They say we are never old when it comes to the dance we know. I agree which is why I begin today with the thought: what odd dreams do you have? How have you watched the universe conspire to make them a reality? A cycle of sorts. Only this week, I spoke about a dream…

Keep the lessons of dogs!
When dogs meet other for the first time, they stop, sniff, and acknowledge each other, in love, or in hate. When people see each other other, whether for the first or only time, they move pass each other, some in silence, some full of depths unknown, that make you wonder about the lessons of dog.

Keep Black History!
Some words are unforgettable. Like black, history. These words will make you regret the day you lacked clarity for words clear and deep. Those different and free. The purpose of words, like a mountain, are to help you rise, struggle but rise, still pushing against air till you bleed their essence.

Keep knowing that you are stronger than you seem!
Things will fall into their place. One by one. We pull and uproot. Seed and plant. Then reassemble as we root out things out of place. So let it burrow deep. Let it remind you still. Of all the ways you are stronger than you seem. For you are stronger than you seem. No one…

They say a broom has no value, yet everyday, people look around their house for a broom or something close to it to sweep their homes. The depths of a broom are so deep, that when you done using it, it goes back to being itself, a broom in silence and peaceful simplicity. Imagine being…

Keep this light
You will turn into something inexplicable, like the sun and its flowers, the moon and its showers, when you make yourself, light.

Keep being seen with your stories!
I have been thinking lately about seeing and being seen. Photos for example, are moments in time that enable us to see, the subject, their stance, their worldview, whether good or bad. All of it are captured in an image that enables the eyes to see. It’s an art form too that illustrates a certain…

Keep being present!
There is this believe that all stories are true. Some have magic to their name and can do wonders to transport you from this realm to another. There are some stories portrayed as the best. We are assured in the praise songs that they are indeed the best. They can open up worlds from which…

Keep what matters!
These days I am learning much from how children work together. My kids are finally in the chore phase of our lives where everyone has something to do each day. Today’s dishes belonged to my son and he would rather we go downstairs to watch movies. The other kids just picked up and began their…

Keep these thoughts
Some people fear life. Others face it in a haste. Some struggle through all its phases. Others choose to fall like leaves. I don’t know how to forget. Not when my peace is involved. Forgive I can try. But to forget, no. I know that this phase will bring struggles. It’s a revolution after all.…

Keep all your tears, those full of wonder, as you reflect on your dreams!
Today, I get to reflect a bit about my journey to light. I get to sit first with myself and ask my dear self, why did we create all this? Tears are flowing. Who even asked us to be the light, to spread it and love it as if it was air. I am trying…
