Hello my Facebook family, I feel compelled to say I appreciate you. Now that I have said it I feel my day will move easier because many of us need to remember that our peaceful presence, our expressed love, and our pauses to acknowledge others are what give our lives fullness, meaning, historical relevance. There could have been no I, as I am now, without your presence. I say all this because this morning someone decided to get in my way, to tear me down on my strengths. But I kept my inner peace because I remembered my years with many of you. I remembered the many people who came like leeches and departed because they couldn’t comprehend my fire. They arrived wanting me to operate like a lantern in their darkness. But they couldn’t understand that my light is clean, honest, and full of peace. Neither could they understand that I always walk with the pride of histories tickling my nerve endings, histories of love inscribed by the footprints of genealogical cultural fires. They couldn’t understand that I seek permission from no one to speak. They left. You stayed. We still judge each other but we have been getting along, affirming each other in works and words. So when that person got in my path this morning, belittling me but saying s/he is reaching out to me privately because s/he cares, I had to return to memories of you. In my return, I see the many pages of your affirmation of the very thing that person was attacking. Only then was I able to keep my peace and power and love. I ignored the person. At this moment my mind rests on great things because my conscience is smiling. I’m fortunate, not only to have many of you in my life, but to also be able to remember the history and consistency of your love. Let’s claim our day, shift the tracks from the route of poison. You have inspired me to be a great Essy.Thank you
