Life, health, friendships, people, this community will touch your soul, enter your mind and never be forgotten. They will make you remember all the ways we are thankful. All the…

Keep my story.
What you see are my struggles. The journey through dreams too. We have soared through the fire of our imagination. Soared too into the unknown. They other day, I asked someone if they would come along for the journey. They said no, not in words but action. I let them be, knowing soon, I would…

Keep knowing that Chinualumogu!
I have always loved his name. The idea that Chinualumogu is the perfect name for the second most ambitious year in my life. 2022 was bold but 2023 takes the cake for the most disruptive and innovative year ever. It’s of course not as stellar as 2022, Chinualumogu made complete sense if you know the…

Keep the art of gathering!
Grace A million notes of thanks lingered in a room this evening. Pumpkin pies, delightful communion, over chicken and greens. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the gift of gathering, for these moments of pampering, for the chance to remember what it means to connect with each other. They are like the moment when…

Keep spreading light!
Some minds bend like trees, only to create a path that lead to dreams. Those that tell all the moments we create. A new sun. A dazzling hill. Drums beating. Mountains trembling. Children singing. As we inherit the truth of our beginning. We who were born of mists and dream. Forever creating a space to…

Keep dreaming!
Some truths are in full cycle now. Many will not understand, how light unravels itself. But the truth is ours. It has always been now that we see the fruits of our dreaming. See antelopes bend to drink from streams dreaming. See the sun follow us across the horizon lingering. See too how dreaming set…

Keep thick love and the power of your grants!
That we have been engaging in a persistent struggle should be widely known. We have been riddled with struggles ever since we decided to mingle in the whispers of academic circles. The whole problem though seemed to be informed by two things. What we want, that is bigger than ourselves and what they want to…

Keep nurturing what matters!
I imagine somethings can be bold and urgent. Yesterday I started to write about my grandmother’s death. It’s been 27 years and still if feels like it was yesterday. They say never let your knowledge of anything keep you from your nurturing of core things. So, that same yesterday, I sat and listened to dreams…

Keep the sighting of a Baobab tree!
Fifteen years ago, my feet stepped on a land nourished by Baobabs and it happened that when we stepped on it again, the sound of the passing wind, was still the Baobab, the tree built upside down, was the Baobab, the calabash full of fruits, was the Baobab, the long-lived tree with multiple uses, was…

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. Pride and joy swell our hearts. Initial love, we wish to keep. A peace, a deepening love through the rocks…

Keep telling the story!
Some of us will tell a story of the moments we returned so to tell the glory of how some of us did not die. We stood there and waited and listened and poured water back to the earth returning lives back to the earth, for their freedom is our freedom and our freedom is…
