Keep dreaming again!
If by chance you come across a dream so old, so hidden, it’s invisible even to you who once dreamed this dream, don’t flee, dream again. See that dream in your eyes again, follow the direction of its scent, retrace your footsteps back to the place where your dreams first began, until you begin to…

Keep knowing your dreams are valid, visible, your dreams!
If I have never dreamed, saw others dream, leaned against the wall knowing dreams are hard, always distant, like a thing for others, those they call experts, with many degrees after their names, few like mine, my dreams like yours, always distant and denied, always denied despite how many times we tried. If I have…

Keep following your path!
The insides of my thoughts, after a dizzying season of grant writing goes like this: what’s the next one? any other one? how about another one? surely there must be another one. We follow these thoughts down the path where ideas go to labor, we peek, we pry, we resolve instead to not sit and cry,…

Keep moments where you begin again!
Yesterday I returned home after being away for a week. The past one month, I have been on a rollercoaster ride of my own doing, that slowly came to a halt yesterday in the middle of the Atlantic, somewhere on the journey from Amsterdam to Detroit. I took the time to reflect on what can…

Keep captivating days
I am captivated by things simple like rainy days, moments gentle like kiss on your check from your child, memories eternal, like the rise after a rise, and days of delight, like pint of ice-cream with those you adore. If this 27th day, of the ninth month, of the year 2024 would be art, I…

Keep seeing your smile!
I saw my smile the other day, saw how it made my eyes light up, saw how my lips became crooked, head tilted to the side, shoulders lean forward, all with an ease I could watch forever. So I started to see my smile more, see the way it burrowed deep within my soul, see…

Keep love
I am remembering love, the sweet taste of pomegranate, love, a blue line on a red sky, love, children bright like stars, love, peace that surpasses all understanding… love, a poem without words, this love, love, love…

Keep hope!
We hope to rise with feet eager and life hopeful, to stand upon a hill and smile at a soul so full. If this is the brink of another day, may all we sow, all we gather, all we grew and all we planted, with our bare hands, help us to fix our eyes on…

Keep moments that glow!
Some truths are joyful, some hidden, some hurtful, some useful. The pain from moments we inhale, blurt the joy of moments we exhale. Yet still, we inhale, truth bitter, moments hurtful, as life insists on being useful. There will be moments that come full of pain, full of rain, full of all the ways you…

Keep these moments!
I write these days to celebrate life, to listen as water falls, to remember the power of hurdles, to love every struggle we meet. My middle son had a melt-down today. We rarely have them but when it happens, it is as fierce as it is hopeful and a reminder that every single moment of…

Keep your name, and this harmony with your becoming!
There are three things with life I am learning help me stand. First, the idea of being human. Why are we here, now at this moment and for what do we hope for with the times we find ourselves in. The second is how will you endure. The battle is long, so what tools are…

Keep being young at heart!
We went to Disney on Ice, reluctantly at first. There were 5 little boys and one almost teen daughter and let’s just say none of the boys wanted to go. We convinced them it would be short and we would go to a playdate afterwards and they reluctantly came along. Of course the show was…
