We Come With Love
Can we go to the lady who likes blue cloths, the young one asked. And I was taken by surprise as to why he wanted to go. I asked him why and he looked at me and said because she know-ed things and I want to ask her some questions about stuffs. And…

One Pilgrim’s Journey
One Pilgrim’s Journey In my early years on this pilgrim’s journey, I would awaken and think through the night’s lessons and get my marching orders for the day. They were equally important. One morning though the conclusion was that it truly was a world without end. But world without end has a magnitude about it…

Worth Thinking About
Worth Thinking About Knowing what to say is a social skill. Meaning what you say takes the form of action in the heart. Sometimes our heads understand what our hearts cannot.

C’est Moi, It is I. . . .
