Keep love still for 2023!
When this captivating year final closes, when its power comes to an end, when you are finally not daunted by its experience, when you are full of gratitude for the simple fruits it planted, then and only then will you hold the year in reverence. You will find yourself saying a decade of rosary. 5…

Keep soaring like eagles
The turning point for me was the pandemic. I found myself wanting to know myself better. Work was intense. Family life too. Yet, both demanded more from me, even in the middle of a pandemic. So I did what I thought would save me: looking intently inside myself. It meant that I discovered many selves.…

Keep love that lasts!
She was once invisible. Her love too, invisible. Though her presence had power. Her actions knew power. Her words too were full of power. Better than precious oils. Better than gracious soils. All she carried was startling from the beginning. Though they kept asking, what kind of love is this? They kept lying to taint…

Keep all things you love
I write this. Not for you who fight to write your own words…but you who neither fear nor fight. I write this reminding you always to choose you. The world seems vast. It can also be remote and unfamiliar. But love for yourself will win and win.

Keep being still!
Birds talk Grass sing I know what they say. Skies weep Clouds see I know what the feel. Through the valley Through the deepest valley, I know how to be still. Leaves believe Trees perceive I stand still in awe

Keep love!
The sight of love, from eyes that never lie, restored a balance time almost tried to hide. Watching their eyes widen, holding ourselves tightly, is the reason why living is a fire. There was happiness all around, for love they know and a new love trapped in a new house they own. The one with…

Keep Ralph Yarl in mind!
First, they shoot. They dismiss your look, dim your light, all to erase your name. They succeed. Or so they think. You may stumble, you may fall, you may bleed, you may weep. But your name remains. The thing they can’t destroy. The name they can’t uproot too. Not when the ground belongs to you.…

Keep every moment!
We paused today, with ourselves and looked at the day, with a single purpose, to wait for time. In silence and in thankful contemplation, strangely at peace, we said thank you when the moment arrived. There still is no clear time in sight. We don’t know how deep the valley is. Either way, the urgent…

Keep Mahogany!
I remember having dinner with her one workday evening. Looking back those evenings were rare and special and Boulevard Garibaldi with all its restaurants were a space for healing for souls weary from living and working in the city of lights. They say we are supposed to be grateful. The Tour Eiffel was our constant…

Keep what the mirror said!
Listen, this is your time, you a seed, you the earth, of a woman, you got the moon of your own, listen, somebody need a binoculars, to see you, somebody need to straighten their lens, to see all of you. Listen you are not Mars, Venus or any other bright evening star, not when he…

Keep your people close ooh and whatever is for you!
On the path to change, I finally woke up. I have been blind for awhile but now I see. Now that I have arrived at a place called joy, a space I claim for me. So I stayed there for a moment. I basked in the memories, those that carried me along, those that served…

Keep your ambitions!
To begin again is the dream of anyone. To do it all over again, this time with dreams gained, insights learnt, stories told, hearts bruised, yet glory revealed, is the dream of anyone. The dream of a woman, black like me. These days there is a moon falling from my sides and mouth and I…
