Lies burn, but the truth,
like a whisper in the wind,
will extinguish flames.

GRAINS OF THANKFULNESS.
In the stillness of the early morning, before the world awakens to the hum of life, I sit in quiet contemplation, a cup of warm tea cradled in my hands. The first rays of the sun pierce the horizon, spilling golden light across the land, and in this tranquil moment, I feel a stirring within, a gentle whisper of gratitude.

When Powers of Sun Magnified
After childhood years spent listening to these stories at the feet of Nana Belle, great aunts and great uncles, this part (my part) became both easy and hard. Easy when you grow up to become a writer. Hard knowing the oral traditions steeped in a history vast enough to eclipse the oldest mariner’s voyage are in danger of being lost simply because no one sits still to listen anymore.
