Safe space for all
I noticed a small boy playing in the dirt with the garbage that had fallen from the bins. He was behind the building of my youth center, in an empty lot. Next to him, his father talked on his phone not paying attention. I was cleaning the youth center to get it ready to open…

Where the River Meets the Sea
I realised that everyone on the planet was engaged in a common experience. I was part of a greater whole. I was not alone. I’m thinking how rivers lose their edges and merge with the sea. Are rivers trembles with fear before entering the sea? Do they look back at the path they have travelled?…
