In the week of Thanksgiving, the one in my heart, I piece together a wreath to hang on my door, to greet the guests who will be coming to my house... and I think to myself, nature has a way of making the most welcoming of wreaths.
I am thankful for the stranger that I encounter through daily living. Their gifts ripple out upon the spiritual waters of the earth and uplift the bond of our shared humanity. People make the world go round.
Listen to the music in your heart and the soft whispers in your soul, letting the moment cover you in a blanket of pure delight.
Even before we met and long after we're both gone, my heart lives inside of yours. I'm forever and ever in love with you - Crystal Woods

Happiness is waking up every morning and being grateful for another day. Friends. Watching the sunrise. Watching the sun as it sets. Letting your hair blow in the breeze. Walking through the rain. Smiling and having someone smile back. Happy, blissful, delighted, joyful. You don't have to pick just one.
Happiness is so very underrated. And contagious.
There are mornings that just seem "more" than others. If we can take in those precious moments and embrace them, just a little bit longer. Oh, yes! What a wonderful world; what a beautiful life.
I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Oh yeah.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
