Tears fall under a gray sky today. Storm clouds shadow my path today. Under the silver light of the Moon, I cry. Under the shining Stars of the sky, I cry. In the East, the Sun stands still: He waits for me. In the West, the Moon covers her eyes: She hides from me. I […]

“You no working today?” “No. I don’t work,” I reply. “Why you no working? You no like it?” “No, I stay home. I care for my children,” I respond, using short sentences and simple vocabulary, as I know from experience that it is so much easier to respond this way than to explain that I […]
Saturday, April 20th I should be home right now. I wish I was home. Well, I am technically home, it’s just that… it’s just not… how can I explain this? What I’m trying to say is that I wish I was where I belong. I don’t belong in this time. And it’s just so bright […]

Hot and heavy, It burns like the sun on a summer’s day. Relief, elusive As a breeze in the stillness of fiery hate. I seek shelter, And I find none. I look for peace, And find only thunder and lightening. As the desert cries for rain, My soul cries for three small words: I forgive […]
Saturday, April 6th It’s funny the things you think about when you are in the middle of a crisis. I need to concentrate, but I keep thinking about Cher singing “If I Could Turn Back Time,” with Papa’s voice. Oh, Papa! Papa sure does love his Cher. I’m pretty sure he is her number one fan. […]
