Keep lazy rivers!
Today I sat by a lazy river and let the sun and its rays soak me deep. There were purple flowers along the river and children sharing how angle fishes swim slow just like the river. I sat wondering if this is heaven or what else can describe how you prevail through storms. So if…

Keep pain through storms!
When you cease to ache, even your pain is like a Lilly or a Rose. Something inside will stir you up to rise and stand tall for a while like a tree or maybe a sliver man looking up to the sky. You will say how everything seems like a remedy or a lesson, of…

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 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 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 this season of love!
The wind kisses your face, the ocean and its winds adore you too. If ever I was asked to describe a moment of bliss, what it felt like or what did I feel in that moment, I would say joy, for nothing else can describe what it feels like to be loved by the ocean,…

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 Fathers!
I always greet this day with two emotions. One of happiness for Zobam and the fatherly role he plays for our children and so many other children. The same happiness holds for my brothers and uncles, mentors and friends, all of whom are fathers who in one way or another, color my life with happiness.…

Keep all your stories!
My dear dad once told me to focus on school, just do all that mattered with school, then my life partner would arrive. I listened. Cut my hair and dove straight into what being a doctoral student was all about, bald head and all with jewelry making on the side. Then my dad died and…
