My People, Hold On...(Dedication to Haiti)

This is my status post tragedy
the earth shattered
and shook my soul
towards the brink of insanity
forces beyond my control
ravage and rattle me
weary of battling
I'm unraveling
hanging on to my last string
of Hope...

Honestly I am speechless. I have nothing else to add to what as already been said other than prayers for my people and a small offering I am humbled and grateful. My father and I were relocated after our apartment building burned down in 2005. So although I can not fathom this disaster, deep down I have an inkling.

As an educated Black woman in America I feel it is my obligation to continue to work towards the empowerment of my people globally. This begins internally. So despite my struggles, my fears, my opposition, I continue to keep going and growing. I pray that the creator continues to give all of us strength to move forward and overcome.

  2. so true. thanks for stopping thru Doc. I am just taking in all of these events and changes occurring internally and externally.

    it seems that during our moments of greatest fear and joy, we desire the presence of loved ones. family and loved ones are the greater extentions of ourselves. i must remember this.

    its not always easy being a spiritual girl in a material world. when things like this happen i am reminded of those things that truly hold value.

  3. Amén y Amén. A medida que salen las oraciones, recordemos también hacer lo que podamos para apoyar y recordar que mañana no se promete.
