Be a Friend
In times of need, struggle, despair and yes hopelessness, we can always use a friend or be a friend. This month I implore you to reach out to someone, anyone…a dear one, a near one. BE A FRIEND. Here is a poem I wrote for a dear friend.
WHEN I THINK ABOUT US
When I think about us I smile with thanks
and beam with glee to see God’s work
on you and me…our precious talks
our daily chats memories about this
news about that
though time has brought much change indeed
we must respond in time of need
When I think about us I lift my legs
to run and dance who would’ve thought
that time and chance could teach the lessons
we both have learned
‘been through the fire and not get burned
my hands begin to joyfully raise
I know God turns heartache to praise
that’s what I know for sure to be
When I think about us –
just you and me.

WHERE IS OUR HEALING STATION
February traditionally focuses on themes of love and happiness. However, as a connection to the unerring power of love, I choose to compassionately validate the hurt that many people are feeling at this time.
People are hurting hurting across the land hurting all over their bodies deep in their souls they hurt for a moment they hurt for a lifetime they hurt for a loved one they hurt for a friend
yes, they are hurt hurt by a past oppressed by a present devastated by a future yes, they are hurt
hurt by race by sex by lies by greed they are imprisoned by the streets by the church by lifestyle by beliefs
yes, they are hurt by loss by rage by fear by pain
yes, they are hurt the hurt is small the hurt is tremendous it wears a mask it wears a grin it harms our children it grieves our elders destroys our nation it promises much gain but brings great loss the hurt is silent the hurt shrieks with pain when will it stop how can it stop when does it end where is our healing station?
