Never say the words….
Current mood: exhausted
Category: Writing and Poetry
What is it that keeps us
Just out of reach
Arms lengthing each other
Got to keep our space
Just near enough to touch the surface
Just close enough
Graze skin, note eye color
Never say the words
If I say the words then that makes me
Responsible
If I pony up and [...]

Tiny Tim said it best
Category: Life
Every year to prepare for Christmas, the kids, Diallo and I always watch Henson’s Muppet’s Christmas Carol. I love the original Charles Dickens classic and I remember watching the theater production in college. I love the story. But the Muppet version is something as a family we [...]

Once upon a time, I found that….
Current mood: blessed

Once upon a time I met some ladies online. I wasn’t expecting friendships of the nature I am blessed with. It just began as conversations and cool photos. I have come to find that they are generous with friendships.
It has [...]

Oh, Great! Expectations…
Current mood: curious

Because you’re not what I would have you be
I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.
Seeking mirage where desert blooms, I mar
Your you. Love, I would like to see
Past all delusion to reality.
Then would I see God’s image in your face
His hand in yours, and [...]

Poetic thoughts from a tv show to remain nameless…
Category: Writing and Poetry
They say art imitates life. Sometimes what I watch feeds me. Sometimes it sympathizes like friends. Sometimes it acts like a mirror or photograph. Great art speaks.

Pull me out and remind me who I am
You know you have always held my heart
Let’s hear stories about [...]

I love the Nouwen Society. Henri J. Nouwen is one of my favorite writers. This came in an email to me this week.

In Memorium 09-06-07
Category: Life
I can’t remember the first time that I read anything by Madeleine L’Engle. But I would imagine that it was A Wrinkle in Time like most people. I do however remember vividly when I fell in love with Madeleine L’Engle’s writing. I read that same book aloud [...]

“Where did Pollyanna go?”
She asked me.
“Not always a laugh a minute it seems.”
I smiled slowly, sadly
And shrugged a shoulder
And I watched her and replied,
“Where’s your big dreams?
Seems to me we’re both a little jaded.
Seems to me we’re neither one that tough.”
Cynically she laughed and she nodded adding,
“But whoever would have guessed
It could be so rough.”
Just [...]

But That’s What I Hear
You call me first instead of waiting
For me to reach out to you
You never think much about it
But I do.
You act as if I know things
As if I have a contribution to your world
even in the little things
You don’t do it to remind me of my value
But [...]
