Textiles in every
visible color
and patterns
-structured chaos
into useful beauty;
These things are inspiring.

Continued steps
with long-expired desire
and soles
and still finding room
in your tired self to smile;
This is strength.

Human relationships
treasured, grasped
though unaffordable
with trust's
bounced check;
Relational endurance.

Heritage-focused
unfashionable pride
finding beauty
in ancient and
unique;
Self-security.

Third world:
in money
First class:
in riches
mixed with good and ugly;
Guatemala, abiding.

  1. Hmm, holding hands sounds like a simple peacable solution. Sometimes we just don't think of it, because our tongues get in the way. God was right (of course) when he said the tongue is wicked above all things.

    bless you friend.
