aug18::: furniture moving

my posts have been unorganized and all over the place much like my life right now. I do not want to say too much and let the photos and poems tell their story. But there are days that the only art happening is concealing and moving through the day. Not to hide that anything is wrong, but to get done what has to get done.

This day I moved my father's furniture around in preparation of his hospital bed arrival.

aug8::: remember

Please remember us that can not go to the masjid constantly in your prayers. Ramadan always reminds me how difficult it is to be patient, even with my own children, and especially in public. Please remember, we want to be there.

july25::: Beats, Rhymes & Life

inspired.

So I didn't officially make art today, but I did watch this documentary. I was so inspired on many different levels. It really had me thinking about the creation of our language, the journey into jazz, and the authenticity of words, and friendship. I can't stop thinking about it, and need to see it a few more times. I did realize this, I miss the 90's.
