World Book Day

My journals that contain deleted blogs, poetry, arts, ideas - all dedicated to Fred Cuellar. :)

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

The truth is that today is #WorldBookDay. This day is a day of happiness as it has provided me with a sense of renewal, a hope for the importance of reading once more. This day has also opened up a wound that I have tried to bury. I am reminded of a time where I was forced into a silence. Where I was forced to delete my blogs, that spanned over about 2 years of work. These blogs consisted of arts, poetry, thoughts, that were related to my learning journey, life stories, a part of me, in an instant a simple delete button vanished. After I did the delete, I was deeply sad and dismayed, but was overwhelmed with fear, fear had overtaken me. I was silenced.

I have managed to get through this wound, but there are times, just like this where I will remember. I have come through, and it was from this experience that I pledged that I would never go into a silence, no matter how tough, or how systems barricade the flow of ideas and thoughts. I am committed to the flow of knowledge, sharing truth, ideas, arts, at any cost. I am committed to this work, regardless of any being, or any structure who tries to silence me. Luckily for me, I hand - write everything, I was not able to recover my blogs, and especially my poetry page, however I have these precious pieces preserved and am grateful for this. I have learned, never allow fear to overtake you, your voice is your soul. Take a break, but never shut down.

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
