I'd like to fly far away from here. Where my mind can be fresh and clear. And I'd find the love that I long to see. Everybody can be what they wanna be. -- day198

Love is a flower
From that above
To spread it's sunshine
And make us love
Beautiful colors shining though
Bless you, brother
Bless you, brother
God is watching you
Oh, He's watching you!

This morning I woke to a storm of words swirling in my head. They saved me from a nightmare that fancied itself a dream. Words became phrases that turned into sentences that soon became paragraphs shaped into voluptuous stories. I groaned and grasped for the skim of sleep I had cultivated at midnight. I wanted to remind the words -- I don't write anymore at least not as often as I used to. What are the reasons? Fear – Rejection? Time. It takes too much time to say what's really going on and I run from the words and the time and the rejection. Besides, who's gonna care? Who really gives a damn about what I have to say or write? I'm just another black woman and you know what that means (especially if you let Fox news and angry Hillary Clinton feminists tell the tale). From them, the definition of a black woman: loud, rude, mean, angry, fat, bitter, hateful, overbearing, controlling, out of control, lacking gentility and grace, a gal, violent, aggressive, ungracious and vicious . . . and sometimes invisible until the moment arrives that a scapegoat for all things wrong and unholy are needed. Based on that, I mean really, who cares what I have to say, what words I use to say it or what I've had to see, how I've had to live and the run-over shoes that took me to places near and far? Who cares? Who? I do.

Changing domain name . . . and site soon. More "art" less talk, rather what I've been doing more of lately anyway. But I am working on another novel. More soon!

He and I met on the MLK holiday in 1992. He has big strong hands (and mine aren't small, well not to me) and gives the greatest hugs and the best common sense advise.
He says that we should move to Savannah and I won't ever have to work again, except to write novels all day long and take pictures of the sun dipping into the ocean.

Stitch for Illustration Friday

I created this image for the Illustration Friday project. The topic was stitch. This week's topic is plain. I've yet to be inspired. Hopefully something will come to mind soon.
I realize, after taking a quick look at my webpage, that I don't really write anymore. Hmmm.
