The Skin's Embrace.

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is the other day I shared a poem. It was called Skin. It was part of a poem that I was formulating, but decided to share it quickly because of observations and conversations. I think that it is needless to say that we all know the unfortunate truth that racism does exist. It is sad that it still does exist, even though there has been much work to raise awareness about the issue. The poem was written in the form of a question. I find it interesting and a moment of deep reflection is needed about the idea of skin, and how the subject of flesh contributes as to how we think, act, and behave towards one another. These acts or thoughts, or what is seen often invoke racism, or certain prejudices that are held. 

​     But what about the beauty of skin? The beauty of flesh and the job that it does every single moment that we live? Flesh holds our body together, our internal organs, bones, and is an essential external function, to our interior. So regardless of any negatives that we encounter, let us use these as teaching opportunities. To teach and raise awareness. Don't let the negativity seep inside. You are beautiful, perfections and imperfections. We must value the gifts that we have been born with, and take care of them, this includes the skin. Our unique gifts make us who we are as individuals, they reveal our individuality, and our contributions to the world. Let us preserve the our exterior and our interior.
