“When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven.” - Harriet Tubman One of my favorite …
If
Would that I were glass. Tall slender cylinder containing water. Life-giving water. I would know the touch of your hand. I would know your lips on me, Repeatedly.

You cannot escape the result of your thoughts; But you can endure and learn, accept and be glad. You will realize the vision of your heart, not …

Be Steady

You have morals and you have standards. They will be tested. Will you betray your own heart? Last night a friend I care for so deeply …
