  • Ancestral Trauma

    It has been too long, but long is never gone, for tomorrow, no matter how long, shall arise once again as long as your essence allows it! Today, I sit in a memoir of my own life. A reality of hurt and pain. A reality of my ancestry. A reality of truth. Thoughts of my…

  • Papa

    What a beautiful site: He sat in tanned clothing, He was as handsome as can be with a clean shavened face. He wore the same paint stained watch I remembered as a child. Eloquent in an unfamiliar sitting position as he spoke of an intellectual topic. I gawked and took in every inch of his…

  • Soul! Dee soul! Overwritten!

    The bland taste in her mouth found her sour life. Soul!  Dee soul! Overwritten! Baldness is the light in the air. Half full, half empty. The touch is wired like an old mans burnt gray hair.

  • Mini-Book Review: Acts of Faith by Eboo Patel

    I began my summer with thoughts that I would read books based on different religions and cultures. What captures my mind is how all us humans strive for one thing. It is to be welcomed into their world, it is to be loved and feel joyful with their life. By reading different authors from around…
