In what is an obvious injustice, we consider the log in our eyes too small to be seen but the speck in others' eyes too big to be ignored.”

All shiny in your mind!”

A cradle of life blesses more than it curses. It LOVES and never HATES because it's understanding. But how can I LOVE you if I don't know how to LOVE myself? How can we be ONE if I still believe that my TRIBE is better than yours?
[Africa Day Statement, May 25, 2021.]”

“Isn’t it trust
that lets the river give itself to the sea
not knowing if its name will survive the salt..
that lets the moon surrender to darkness
certain the sun will one day find her..
that sends roots downward
into what they cannot see
sure the unseen will answer..
that carries the wind
to rest against the mountain
knowing the stone will not turn away..!?
Isn’t it trust
this primal covenant beneath all motion
where yin carries a fragment of yang
and yang holds the shadow of yin
each completing the other
without asking to be assured..!?

But there was," I said. "I mean, it's only been in the last few months that I've started remembering all this good stuff, funny stuff about my dad. I can't believe I ever forgot it in the first place."
You didn't forget," Wes said, taking a sip of his water. "You just couldn't remember right then. But now you're ready to, so you can."
I thought about this as I finished off my waffle.”
