Would you harbor me? Would I harbor you?Would you harbor me? Would I harbor you? I’m back. The same song is still haunting me a week later. I write a monthly article in my local newspaper in the Faith and Reason column. Last week’s worries are this week’s realities. How will we, as communities, as […]

The Constitution underscores the fact that we are rooted and raised in a communal society and that we each have a responsibility to build up the whole. The Preamble to the Constitution could not be any clearer: ‘We the People’ are […]

I may be messy-haired, but I am about as happy as a Sunday gurl can be. Here I am, me ’n my first copy of my very first poetry book held in my very own hands. So excited!  How fabulous it would have been for my parents to have seen this book and to have […]
