Slow Love
I. Let’s not listen to music, let the lyrics come on their own. Open the door. Let the birds sing. The ground sweat. You do not always have to be the dancer, alone in the corner, swaying under hanging plants and borrowed words. Do the birds sing of lost love? Do the trees dreamContinue reading “Slow Love”

What are we?
And what have we done? We are our inheritance and we are our choices and we are our practices. Now, what can we do from here? January 29, 2016
Inheritance
What legacy have I been born into, have you been born into, have we been born into? The farmer, the preacher, the banker, the slave owner, the slave; the pawn, the mom, the sister, the son, the game. It’s all a game of competition or at least it all seems like a gameContinue reading “Inheritance”
