Life in the vast human ocean. WORDS FOR MAY AND JUNE. June 30, 2016. June 30, 2016. By Craig Santos Perez. My 16-month old daughter wakes from her nap. And cries. I pick her up, press her against my chest. And rub her back until my palm warms. Like an old family quilt. Daddy’s here, daddy’s here,. I whisper. Here is the island of Oʻahu, 8,500 miles. From Syria. But what if Pacific trade winds suddenly. Flames, nails, and shrapnel. Indiscriminately barreling towards us? The Mediterranean in time? Children...

EXPRESSIONS OF RESISTANCE | REEF

https://free81387.com/2016/11/17/expressions-of-resistance

Life in the vast human ocean. November 17, 2016. November 17, 2016. I arrived home yesterday depleted. That’s really the only word for it despite the fact that it was a good day. Wednesday is my hardest and longest teaching day. Paying such close attention to people who are nestled so closely around me for hours on end may, in fact, draw out of me more than it does some of my colleagues. Perhaps more than I’m really able to give. November Sunset, photo by me. And soothe my vocal chords. I know how this s...

December | 2016 | REEF

https://free81387.com/2016/12

Life in the vast human ocean. December 17, 2016. December 19, 2016. Yesterday, I said farewell to three groups of students I’ve been working with since last February. Perhaps it was simply. But only time will tell. It felt that way because it was relaxed and informal. We left each other smiling, with the promise of a lunch date sometime in the new year. I hope I’ll see all of them again. I plan to make that lunch date. The conference room where we meet. Waiting for my students to arrive. I’m not sure who...

MOXIE | REEF

https://free81387.com/2017/01/12/moxie

Life in the vast human ocean. January 12, 2017. January 30, 2017. There are people who seem to have been born old. People to whom it isn’t possible to attach anything other than the qualities of adulthood and maturity; upon whom the traces of youthfulness seem to have had no hold. People who can be projected into middle and old age with almost no effort of the imagination. My God, he’s probably only 25 in this, but he looks 45! What are his ambitions? What are his parents like? It’s so easy to imagine hi...

PENELOPE’S HEART | REEF

https://free81387.com/2016/12/15/penelopes-heart

Life in the vast human ocean. December 15, 2016. Written January 26, 2015 and just recently rediscovered:. I believe that my granddaughter Penelope’s heart bears no secrets. It is as open as a smile,. As glorious as the sun,. As knowing as the stars,. As tender as tears,. As fierce as a lion,. As gentle as sleep,. As expansive as a dream,. As sudden as lightning,. As sensitive as a flower,. As boundless as the ocean,. As natural as life,. As sacred as a shrine. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

As December moved along this year, similar messages and wishes kept appearing on Facebook. They can be summed up like this: Good Riddance 2016! Reaching the end of the Advent calendar. This Christmas, my family received three 2017 wall calendars: one is for me, from the Reading Woman series, and the other’s a Shakespeare calend...

Life in the vast human ocean. THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME. October 19, 2016. November 13, 2016. First, there was Penelope. Made from the ingredients provided by her papa, Jeremy, one of my twin sons, and her mama, Anne, who also grew up in Pointe-Claire, Penelope entered the world four and a half years ago. I’m not ashamed to say that when her parents first announced that she was in the making, I felt both elated and apprehensive. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel ready to love her; it was that I felt too. Graeme’...

Life in the vast human ocean. January 29, 2017. January 31, 2017. I finished off my previous post. With the word HOPE. When I typed it, it felt like the only way to end a piece that was otherwise defeating. It isn’t in me to be bleak. I can’t bear pessimism for too long before I’m torn asunder, and I couldn’t bring myself to pass the despondency along to you. The effect of this week on millions of people has been galvanizing. How good it feels to know that it’s Trump’s executive orders targeting refugees...
