Food for Thought


you understand how
very often
you are
the one
who creates the traps you fall into


the thing that destroys a person/a people
is not the knowing
but the knowing and not
doing


strange
how we women
know
when a man
leaves us-
even when
he's still
with us...


when you need
give


it is not ugly to dream in life
but it is ugly to make life a dream


i wonder if
the sunrays are like the fingertips of
God?
