Wazina, along with Terna Hamida Jahnjeh Tilley-Gyado.

Poetry for the Sun, plus featured rantings. The Sort of Person. By serena w. lin. I am the sort of person who keeps my friends in my life for as long as I can. Some small part of that, I hope, is due to my capacity to love. The larger part is due to theirs. Eventually, on their own time, people get up from the ground and rise. There are voices traveling through the air that we do not immediately recognize. Want to be here? That was not hard to say. This next part is:. That I am led me to a profound alone...

Ramadan Day 21 – The Loyalist | Drunken Whispers
https://drunkenwhispers.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/ramadan-day-21-the-loyalist
Poetry for the Sun, plus featured rantings. Ramadan Day 21 – The Loyalist. By serena w. lin. Yesterday, I went to write my blog post at a coffee shop (I tagged along with Penny and borrowed her empty coffee cup so I could sit in the a/c). I was also wrapping up some work-work, all on the computer. I sat and barely moved for three plus continuous hours. The irony that I was just blogging about when one should or should not fast wasn’t lost on me. Unintended consequences fascinate me. A couple years ago, I...

Poetry for the Sun, plus featured rantings. To my Family and Friends – Boycott Black Friday. By serena w. lin. Dear Family and Friends,. It is only a matter of time before all this racism hurts us more than it already does. People protest (and sometimes they riot) because they have tried to live under the law, but the law doesn’t protect them. They know the legal system doesn’t work. So what else can they do? It’s for these reasons that I urge you not to buy anything on Black Friday. Send to Email Address.

Poetry for the Sun, plus featured rantings. Ramadan Day 25 – On My Way. By serena w. lin. The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too. 8211; St. Theresa of Ávila. It don’t matter who you are. Loneliness just come up n grab you. Like a best friend. 8211; Ruth Forman. The way some wings appear. The old house is yellowed. The spikes on the tire shop’s fence glisten. Abandoned lots, fake fir on a telephone pole, 26 ambulances in a parking lot, a tractor conquering its mound of dirt. The switch lights...
