Turn
Religion is a process of turning your skull into a tabernacle, not

Always Humming
Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.

Balance
Upon commitment, the Universe conspires to exist; who are you not to shine…be brilliant!
Marianne Williamson on Nelson Mandala
Though this looks like a single figure from a few feet back, Elizabeth used dozens of magazine strips to create the yogi, light and shadow. The green framing is van Gogh’s.

There will never be
only love
only peace
but there can be
more love than
before we got here
and more peace
because
we stayed here.
David Richo, Everyday Commitments

Change
The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
Longing to Belong
LONGING TO BELONG
girl with eyes too large and milky teeth fairies must wait years for in a country that ripped her from Mama locked her in metal cage no laughter crosses her howl swells into lost others' sounds for families babies resounds past soiled dreams strips belonging as those ripping teach children how arms are weapons
Thank you to Writers Resist for first publishing “Longing to Belong.”
