Walking between worlds.
People will say it was the Creator’s plan. But it wasn’t the Creator’s plan—it was man’s plan. The Creator valued you and never saw you as less. You were viewed as an object—picked up, removed, and placed elsewhere. The children must be saved. We know better. To grow surrounded by love, yet carrying a quiet…

Community
Community is everything. It is a meaningful, vital space where we stay together to share support and nurture one another. We talk a lot about creating inclusive spaces, but if you do not grow up around diversity, you might not realize that diversity inherently means difference. Too many people mistake their preference for “sameness” as standard…

Erasure
Erasure is about healing and reclaiming self-worth. It emphasizes that although people may leave, reject, or misunderstand us, our value is not determined by others choices or opinions.

The Block – Part Two
Frankly, the house needed quite a bit of fixing up. I was going to work a summer session to get a little more money to help me get the repairs done sooner then later. The ceiling in the dining room was in sad shape. When the contractor came to give me an estimate, he hit…

The Earth Is Alive
Five in the morning is not dark anymore. The earth is alive, awake from its long winter slumber. The sun’s bright rays. outstretched like loving arms. The air is crisp and I smell applewood from the stove. The sweet, smokey scent familiar and pleasant. The morning fog lifts and reveals springs emerging beauty. The energy…

Juju
Juju ran up the block, he had no jacket on. His thin wiry arms moving like a swimmers over the cement sidewalk. Moving through a range of strokes over the cement sidewalk he approaches, running, frantic. Juju sees me going through the gate of my house and runs towards me. Caro, Caro, save me. I…
