So, you lost your father in October too, an appropriate season of the year for leaving with the leaves, except here in CA where there is no sign of any trees on my street doing anything but thriving in this belated summer.

In times when terror strikes sense out of our world, when politics takes hostage of discourse, the poet&#39;s voice captures and helps us.

I agree with you that these are the ways to gather all of whom we are to be whole.<br />I have a question, I&#39;m not sure but I think I read it in one of them that there is a tree that grows somewhere in South America and the roots of this tree spread around for miles. What is the name of this tree? It is very fascinating. Thank you, Kehinde Ayeni @kehindeayeni@att.netKehinde Ayenihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06417460431822822315noreply@blogger.com
