  • Dear Kindness Diary: Believe

    March 27th, 2020

    I came here because the the world is always changing. Sometimes I am too.

    Yet and still…

    I believe human kindness is a way of putting our arms around the world with compassion in raw un-edited truth that changes the way we write poetry. Kindness, I believe is a moral lifestyle. I’m just trying to do my part in making the world a better place.

    I believe kindness-poetry can be felt- chirping off the page. Even now, there’s this gentle nudge that lets’ me know, I’m not alone. That’s kindness.

    I believe in kind words that can grab you from the edge of defeat, place you in the center of everything and watch your spirit rise. In the words of Alice Walker, “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”

    That’s kindness too.

    I believe kind-poetry in this kind-way lift voices out of ghost towns, and ghettos, and prisons- and makes our human experience- transform as to what it has been into visions of hope, and growth and strengthen our mere existence from invisible, margins of living and dying but we all could use kindness as a way of loving ourselves and each other. We could all use human kindness to rebuild extraordinary lives from what has been,

    to what human kindness, still must be.

  • God's Math is different when God does the adding…

    March 21st, 2020

    Bring back the days, Mama would say, “its’ okay to be crazy

    its’ okay to be afraid” – stores running empty, people running insane,

    I read in the good book, one woman and child,

    had only one jug of oil, one last cake – “that they may eat it and die”,

    the prophet replied “make what you have for me, you won’t go without”

    her faith lead her to believe and they were satisfied for many days.

    So though, it may rain, or sun has come to bring her gift to earth.

    I’m so sure this prayer may take awhile…

    God you feed the raven, keep the brooks and rivers full.

    you pull down the seasons of white snow and change

    you called us by name, you still hold the whole world in the palm of your hand, you breathed life down into my lungs,

    I give this prayer like sweet smelling rose,

    calm every nerve in my body, soothe every ache

    transcending the worlds on lock down,

    sending manna for bread, and oil that won’t run out

    Amen

  • The Light is Still Coming:

    March 20th, 2020

    such a beautiful storm

    seas talking with the ocean,

    seen a many things passing, fearful and normal

    never saw this day a-coming.

    what If I can’t carry, everything -the world has me buying

    what if I’m, running around with my eyes wide open – while others maybe dying

    how will I know, I can’t carry this load

    how will I know, if I’m half past crazy or its me and the world

    one thing I know- I remember those old scriptures

    I remember them well,

    “reap what you sow” “God is not the author of fear nor confusion but of love and a sound mind”

    so I’m telling myself, get hold of yourself

    hold on to your faith and let go of the day.

    hollowed hearts- cry out,

    God we made our mistakes,

    coming closer and closer,

    the sky it awakes, turning our faces to you

    God- we are turning our faces,

    to you. Amen.

  • Poetry Markets:

    March 18th, 2020

    While the world has found a way to market everything from toilet paper, to pantyhose and even man-kinds’ well being.

    I’ve come to believe, I cannot market my soul,

    that’s the one thing that’s not for sell.~kindness sister Krissy

  • Sending Out Love Bits All Over The World:

    March 13th, 2020

    Dear God,

    Bridge our hearts forward when we can’t touch the ones, we love, those distant and those we haven’t heard of,

    with courage we dial numbers of love ones,

    holding the phone while we pray – everything will be alright

    right in the middle of panic

    our water bowls are full- pouring out our earthen prayers

    with fleshy tongues, we beat, we nail, we sail

    into the waters that carry burdens,

    into the waters that taught us to cry.

    There in the teardrop, of mercy- to cleanse

    and waters, that still sweep our prayers gently to the sky

    Heavenly Mother, abba’ Father

    God and I so urgent we turn our faces

    kneel down in ash- that is our lives

    Save us, has you’ve done so many times

    Kindness sister Krissy

  • Living In Faith Not Fear:

    March 12th, 2020

    The truth is, no one should have to walk around in shallow lands. Suffering shoulders to look over. The holes of discomfort growing bolder, the need for respite. To pause and reset.

    the earth has its leans, its greens, its means of total upset,

    sucking marrow and the bone. The old, and growing, no one knows ” what tomorrow holds”

    in faith we pray a better world awaits, and healing blows like the winds.

    and healing blows, like the wind.

  • Nobody but God

    March 2nd, 2020
    Photo by Magda Ehlers on Pexels.com

    I wanted to count the days a little longer. Stay under the brightness of the winter-storm. Snow and sun, and snow, slightly picking up mesquite winds. Although our worlds are shifting.

    Our Merciful prayers have never been the same. The baby birds were cooing underneath the misty drizzle. The temperatures steady but dropping. The sky and I, weeping over something weak and terrible.

    I think we were enjoying too much of self pity as of late. Tasting salt droplets, like leftover pudding. Cream still there just harder, firmer now. Puppy wrinkles for eyelids and the sky too. Didn’t seem to matter much. Neither one of us seem to help the other.

    Then my soul goes off without me, as if it should, wondering about darkness, sickness bending one and the same ashy-twig, frantic but holding.

    Dear God, the weakness inside my soul seeps out like weeds.

    the needs of your people, ever-growing but God, this is where you crack our heads open with miracles unfolding.

  • A Drop of Spilled Milk

    February 11th, 2020

    Yesterday I felt like my writting had hit a snag, okay, okay a slump. What- ever this is, I know can write my way out. God always makes a way out. Now that ‘s not to say, there isn’t spilled milk or crying, going-on over here. I’ve done plenty. As the old saying goes, no need crying over spilled milk. I guess the writer forgot to add, when there is spillage and honey there will be spillage.

    Nobody knows how far the spill spreads, a little here, a little there. Feels like I’m swimming around in it. One small drip into a thousand more, cascades off the light pink-brown table down onto the brown rustic wooden legs seeping into kitchen cracks. I’m running around looking for a clean dish rag. Why? I don’t know why?

    I know this makes no sense but that’s just the way life is. There’s the car that won’t start so I walk my kids to the school bus, only to find the milk still leaking. My neighbor stops me to tell me, that the doctors have found a small tumor in her throat. Milk still leaking.

    I just need God to come through, for my neighbor, my family and everyone else around me, even those reading this right now.

    As I’m cleaning and praying.

    I couldn’t use my kitchen towels because my seven-year old’s glue stick project was fully occupied with slimy goo. Pasted in red letters, Happy Valentine’s mushed in-between.

    I thought of the next best thing. Hey no judgment! These things happen, when the milk is being spilled.

    I found some old shirts, thick enough to absorb a gallon of -precious jewels like this.

    There’s nothing reuse-able about God’s holy spirit

    God I know you can hear it, the cry of your people

    undeniable pounding

    pouring out,
    sounding like the base of thunder

    heal us again

    try us O’ God , somethings gotta give

    if we can’t change the course

    change the course of our heart

    in tune with your holy spirit

    in tune with our bodies

    in tune with you

  • Sometimes: I look In the Mirror Just to See, If Its’ ME

    January 23rd, 2020

    There are times, where my mind seems to find – deepest/darkness of memories but that’s not who I am anymore. All that pain, all that misery wrapped around itself, made something,

    beautiful out of me…

    I’m watching the snowfall, for the first time, in a long time, sitting by myself, in a warm and comfy chair.

    I’ve seen my share – where the world has got its’ shame,

    where the world bends,

    broken wings are changing,

    we’re all feathers together,

    colors of the same icy winds

    gatherings’ of love,

    little crumbs,

    things of little breads

    feeding our longing soul

    everybody needs a little,

    so, I’m

    exchanging my pain into hope

    exchanging my tears into joy

    exchanging my loneliness into feathers that fly in the sky
