political talk
shakes up our nation so fast
we’re built on these lies
this administration knows
its power dethrones others

Something To Think About #10

Have you had your daily dose of “human medicine” today?

This is such an inspirational quote to me. Are you human medicine? Is someone you know and love a form of human medicine to/for you? I saw this quote against a different background on fellow blogger, CreasCreation, OOSGreens blog. It stuck with me and I wanted to share it here, too.

I will share “Something To Think About” for the next six weeks on Sunday afternoons. It may be a quote, a picture, an interesting phrase I heard, artwork, etc. Whatever I share will surely be intriguing or involving enough to spark a casual discussion or in-depth conversation. Stay tuned every Sunday for this feature!

“You Learn To Accept Things” Damon Wayans

I’m ignoring the elephant in the room for now . . .

Damon K. Wayans, Sr., speaks briefly about accepting things and expecting nothing in a recent interview.

What Damon has shared in this YouTube short from a recent interview will remain with me for years to come.

How apropos is this right now at this very moment?!

Millions of people will have to accept what has occurred, endure it as best as we can, and eventually come out on top.

Hold on. Be strong. Don’t ever let go.

Peace and blessings.

bedbound

an unscheduled day off
enfolds my screaming body.
the mind stays strapped to
the foam of an
inviting mattress.

the soul cannot move.

I know these days . . .
mentally, I’m challenged,
and freeing myself from
the depths of this dark
space is often harder
than I’d like.

bedbound for the morning,
I watch news of Western NC
as cities lay underwater,
roads are washed away, my
friend’s brand new home
drowns before her eyes.
food and supplies have to be
air-dropped to designated
places.

“these are the last days.”

I turn over to reach
for someone to hold
and forget, momentarily,
that I live alone.

seeing the world differently now

Throwback: a photo of my dad holding me and giving me some love right after he came in from work. This is what a happy 19-year-old father looks like. I was one.

seeing the world differently now

I’ve always had big, bright eyes,
the only difference is now–I see
what I should and question it
on sight. I know what is
in front of me and
behind me, too.
