this
blessing
of a
view
is the only thing that pulls me through
these
“dark days of the soul..”
I thank
You

an even more delicious day
than the sunshine and calm blue skies of yesterday?
Indoors On A Rainy Day – Photo by Toni Roberts
this
glorious
today
with
noisy splatters of raindrops
and
boisterous winds
intruding upon the
SILENCE
of my
SACRED SPACE…
blow!
Oya
clear away the debris that clogs the mind and soul
whip up the waters!
cleanse this vessel!
ready it for the
Holy Work
for which the Soul has come…

Gemini Moon…
in the fullness of
Your Light
the hidden self
is revealed…
and as the dark self wanes before
Your Brilliance…
the
Goddess Self
expands…
illuminating the world
with the
Healing Light
of
Your Love…

to stop trying to push
the rivers of my life…
to simply let them
flow
as
they
will…
arriving at their own destinations…
unfolding in their own time…

Thank you
Sister-friend, Vera
For an evening of
Body-mind-soul nourishment
As we watched last eve
The HBO movie: Bessie Smith
Winner of the Toni Roberts’ Award for
The best beginning of many more movies to come that tell
Our Stories…
The varied…multi-faceted…multidimensional stories of
American-born-African-women
From Bessie Smith to Michelle Obama
And all those before…in-between…and after
Thank you, my beloved sister-friend
For the food that nourished my body
And for the deeply loving and abiding friendship
That nourishes my soul
You are indeed the sister I never had
The one to whom I may not have spoken in weeks…or months…
But who, after long absences welcomes me and sits with me
In comprehending silence
As we watch together a Bessie Smith made for HBO movie starring Queen Latifa
A movie that tells my story…your story…our story…
A universal tale of Life born in pain…
And lived in endless cycles of Death and Rebirth…
Thank you, my sister-friend…
Thank you for being there…
Thank you for your presence…
Thank you for your understanding silence…
Thank you for your generosity of spirit…
You, Vera,
Are a perfect and uniquely individualized manifestation of
Goddess-Love
May the Mother of us all
The Bringer of Life
Continue to ex-press
In…as…and through you
In ever-expanding ripples of
Healing Love…
Through all Space and Time…
