“Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord.” I feel…I find myself in this deep, dark, seemingly hopeless emotional and mental hole, unable to climb out. Each attempt I make, I fall flat to the ground. I feel alone and lonely in this dark space, with face down, rooted in the ground. Intermittently,Continue reading “Out of the Depths”

Mia Mottley Tide
Led by Prime Minister the Honourable Mia Mottley, Barbados became a Republic on November 30, 2021 (Feast of St. Andrew), severing political allegiance to the historically tainted British Monarchy. This brave and bold move is like the interrelationship between the tide, timing and skills needed for surfing. Surfers paddle on their surfboards out to theContinue reading “Mia Mottley Tide”
Hybrid Relationships

Bound . . . Bound . . . Bound . . . Boundaries!

The Human Touch
It’s comforting, secure, trustworthy and intimate. When touched, we feel the throbbing heartbeat, the gentle expansion and contraction of the movement of the chest, the smoothness of skin, and the stimulus of body odor tickles hairy nostrils.
