the time is so short

when we’re all together now

so we soak it up

rejuvenation 
lies in snowy peaks, hot springs 
we soak, our soul sings

hot springs renew us
and bring us all together 
so sweet, as they’ve grown

My amazing Eritrean paraprofessional made an entire batch of sambusas for me! They’re absolutely delicious, and were still warm this morning, so I know she probably rose hours before dawn to prepare them.

She is one of millions who escaped genocidal conflicts that never seem to end. 😭

I wish the world would have a #ceasefire

Because if you could taste these spicy, crispy, delectable sambusas brought for Christmas from a Muslim, you could put your mouth and heart around peace. 😭💔

you will never know 
how much i hate you for this
and i won’t forgive
