The World Outside My Window

There's a blanket, fruit and wine. It's set under the play yard. Obscured by slides and other play things. Although we don't notice any of it. The Sun sets and the Sky changes in such majestic colors; filling the air with love and desire. We talk and touch as we await the Moon. Once darkness falls our clothes disappear as if they were powered by Sunlight. We admire one another as our shadows and the sound of our breathing echoes in the Night air. Followed by the love we will express as our breath and bodies become One.

So much is going on yet I know without a doubt it's not time to share; however I awoke this Morning with a new smile. I could barely stay asleep (and thanks to my new BFF "Melatonin", I slept like a baby). Which is a beautiful thing, my fellow insomniacs can attest to that.  As I prepare for my personal devotion, as well as Sunday School and Worship; I just wanted to touch basis with you all to say: the best is yet to come.  And not from a materialistic or cliche type of space; but as in, when/if you truly "let go and let God" He will amaze you, with even the simplest things (check my Instagram in a few; for those who follow me on there you already know what I'm talkin' 'bout). Seriously, God is the ultimate Creator; I mean He did create the Heavens and Earth and all the things thereof (see Genesis, Chapters 1 & 2), surely He can work out our scenarios (with ease) perhaps not to us (always) but to Him, it's a breeze.  So as we enter Day 3 of ...

I used to wish I had a sister, the catch was: only if we were twins , so she'd understand me.  Clearly that isn't the case since I identify myself as an only child.  Funny, since that's not completely the case either, but I won't even bother going into that.  Anywho... Over time I've established various relationships with women of all ages and nationalities.  I recall years ago, I attended a Gospel Brunch at The House of Blues and as a friend and I dined between sets, we struck up a conversation with a Caucasian woman.  We laughed, drank, talked and at one point she addressed us as "sister".   I could tell she was a bit uncomfortable as she did not know if we would accept her as our sister .  We let her know, that her offer was accepted and we did identify with her as our "sister", the sudden heaviness quickly evaporated from the air and we continued our fellowship.  Throughout the years I've become more supportive of Women in Business ....

I love the morning, it's dawn when the city is still silent. That's usually the moment I am aware that I am awake, I have my talk with God and/or lay in a space of meditation; the day begins in peace. There's something about the presence of God that feels like pure Love. I remember when I first truly acknowledged and began to seek a relationship with The Creator. I was 19 years old, heartbroken, scared and pregnant. Everyone approached me with their opinion on what my next step should be and I knew that wasn't my path. However, I had no clue how or why, I then realized; I can no longer live my life without the one who created it. For the first time since I was a child, I began to study my Bible and cry out to God to "order my steps" and that's exactly what happened. Perhaps I'll finish this story one day, in this moment I just wanted to share my experience. It's one thing to know that "God is everywhere", but it's something magica...
