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 serving!
The power hidden in serving, how it may make you look small, like a speck, as if feeble, like a candle, all of this, plus, limited time, like a river flowing away, are the reasons to serve. Plus even if you don’t see the river, even if it’s directions, whether up or down, left or…

Keep each day!
Night ends and though this day won’t happen again, we know where we stand, and see the light that shines, and the way we opened and reopened our heart, the way we knew the call was his for his sake, the way these words flow like a lake, is the reason why a day should…

Keep a full moon!
Surrounded by light, we, bend, break, then build, dreams, ours now, theirs tomorrow, we breathe in soft thoughts we breathe out blind spots of ebony souls in the middle of the night whose arch is as sublime as the brilliant moon.

Keep being grass!
If you find me at the brink of giving up, at the point of forgetting love, at a basement with no light, at dawn with no song, at a gathering with no tears, at the edge with no words, at a Red Sea with no faith at a desert with no thirst at a devotion…

Keep lighting a path for the public’s health!
If and when the public takes their rightful place with health, if and when they do, and they are freed from all the bondage exclusively cultivated by those that purport to study them, love them maybe, I hope they are not ignored as those midnight that burn, otherwise what would be the purpose? A voice…

Keep the snow and the sighting of an American robin!
Snow as it falls, scatters and gains possession of the earth, and trees hang up their branches, as an American robin appears, suddenly hungry, the air drips of fallen snow, like ant filing out a wood, only this isn’t wood, and though we are not American robins, they know those who do not befriend snow…

Keep protecting your light!
I was reminded by a dear friend the other day that when I thought I dimmed my light, when during the transition year of 2023, the chaos and conflicts, the move from one place to another brought so much bitterness and anger, when I dimmed my energy, when I didn’t even acknowledge that I was…

Keep being light!
If my work ever became a houseboy, allowing people to enter a party to which they had not been invited, I would stop. If I speak my mind eloquently, determined not to be distracted, yet discover that I only attract dust, I will stop. If what I do is not owned by whomever wanted to…

Keep this meaning of life!
For the freedom of your dreams, future joys and open eyes, live. Through ways silent and wise, the seed of your spirit and undiscovered roads, learn. When things happen and everything changes, pray. Through time and life, through the best and worst in souls, love. The above are from Ben Okri. My mood for this…

Keep this 4th anniversary, the one full of grace!
One of my favorite prayers begins with the word, “Hail Mary, full of grace.” If you know the next lines, for me, you would know that the lord has truly been with me. For who can go through fire, go through trials and somehow, get to the other side, oblivious to the fact that just…
