Keep all the ways we last!
I’ll admit that I don’t know why things last or much about sustainability. Truth is many of us don’t. History notes that no matter how rigorous any one project or intervention may seem, even if it was published in the best of journals or by the best teams always eager to share their brilliant minds,…

Keep all you see!
As if looks were everything, she walked in sure that what eyes see where enough. Only they weren’t and everything depends on where you look in places where air seems hopeless. So she looked for spaces full of possibilities, she looked for where music flowed like branches in the wind. She looked for invisible places where…

There are moments where your heart skips a bit, you stay motionless, only moving as reality returns. In those moments, I hope something sweet and kind, crosses your mind. Today was full of those moments, full of gratitude too that all that I can say is to keep moments that let your heart skip a…

Keep the common dreams of a dreamer!
In moments of stress, or moments of strife, through periods of chaos, or periods of change, when life becomes unpredictable, days and nights too, unpredictable, when the voices and the places that once nurtured you, turn on you, whether storms erupt or your strong purpose erodes, no matter whether your candle burns it self out…

Keep your blessings!
These days, we are bringing goodness by blessing everything we see, blessing everything we think, blessing everything we feel, just so this air counts. Thank you Korede House for another wonderful evening with STARS!

Keep being as ambitious as children!
I am understanding why children run bare feet on grass, why they prefer to climb trees every day. They know their legs and all it carries or climbs, belong to the earth.

Keep all the ways you love, you hold, you let go…
These days we are doing three things: 1) loving what is human; a baby, a bird, this body resting plus any living creature that knows how to be free: 2) holding all the things we love against our bones knowing that this life depends on it: and finally 3) knowing for somethings, the time to…

Keep knowing you are possible!
Picture this, you sitting in a room across from the ocean. Palm trees rustling in the wind not bothered by the ocean. The sea is flowing in a rhythm of its own. And so are you, sitting in a rhythm of your own and there is a note here, on the wall and you are…

Keep these market dreams!
Market women flow as if in a pattern. Clothes are often the same colors. Hair and smiles too. They seem to always appear the same, together, building, dreaming, together, as a show of force. They are always there, as a group, always a force as women. I spent the day walking down memory lane as…

Keep these dreamy days!
These days, our dreams are red and raging. We are learning to dwell in tight spaces, learning to dream with lower cases, learning to direct our tongues to lie still and listen. In the poem night vision by Lucille Clifton, she imagines a girl tired and in a tight space. She could either stay tired…

Keep being tough!
Some of us are resisting being fried and shaken, being seasoned and oiled, being consumed and destroyed, or being blown into nothingness. We would rather be tough in our essence, tough like kernels that never pop, such that if they eat us, they choke. Gail Chandler has a poem about being old maids like…
