there are very few words to say as i ascend into air another year. there is only gratitude. gratitude for the ocean and the divine power that sustains this land, our great help, and much of my existence. gratitude for life and presence here on this slow destructing thing we understand as earth and america. gratitude to friends and loved ones that have chosen to do life with me as i have with them. gratjtude for the healing heffas and the creative spirit. gratitude for prayers answered from year to year. gratitude for prayers whispered into the ocean deep, hands locked in fellowship. gratitude for what is to come. especially in the dark. i will recover! the dance floor is ours tomorrow night. this is what we do now, baby! @jeweltonesdetroit presents #THEDARKERSISTA at @paramita_xyz! happy birthday to me. happy birthday to me. happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to me.
