I watch televison eating sweet melon with peanut powder creme and condense milk. Relaxed and wrapped in special gifts from Gambia. I drink green tea and watch. I watch building crash and listen to children play outside my window. It’s after midnight and mother’s recline on porches remembering it’s summertime. How ironic peace and sudden […]

I have come to the place of understanding,
That all I know is what is behind me,
And those things behind, I must struggle to leave there,
In the pursuit of all things before… I press.
 

Softly, frail hands pass by the dove,
Feathered out between my fingers,
A moment of peace grabbed,
and stayed,
Soon…I’ll want for nothing more than You,
Take me to that place,
Down by the water,
Where my heart is captivated,
And I am consecrated,
Into new,
Soon…I’ll ask for nothing more than You.
The wind  blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, […]

I stood, last night, starring this 21 year old baby in the face. The only thing I could think was God loves His children. Around the corner, down the hall, and even in another hospital across town the testimony remained the same. We have breathing lungs and beating hearts, God loves his children. All of […]

It’s official! I’ve crossed over the middle of my twenty’s. This year…should be interesting.

It can inch away from your tongue like a snail
Slow yet go unnoticed, by only you.
Whispered then,
Heard from the mountains,
Ways caught and done,
Yet little one suspects you,
You sound different,
He says,
You’re right,
That I do,
Amazing that clay could form vibrations that radiate on the wind,
You shall know them by their fruits,
Sweet reproduction heard and tasted by men,
Digested […]

What do you do when the dream is knocked right out of you?
I stand grinding my teeth into powder as I listen to my best friend lament on her lost dream.
 “He’s just a freaking man!â€? I tell her over and over again. “You can buy your own house, with your own fence, your own pool, […]
