One thing about Miles, he was always searching...

“Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.” - Herbert A. Otto

I was leaving a message for a good friend of mine via Facebook and she had this posted on her page. It is such an inspiration to hear artists talk about those pure moments when the art comes down. It is also inspiring to look at the lives of those artist who are brave enough to be in front. It takes some courage to experiment with your own life.

I love Miles for being bold and in front blazing a path sparking fires with each step and shrugging it off with a.... So What!

Today, I am traveling miles. Thank you Dottie.

Morning Rain

102709

Morning rain,

gentle in your delivery

the tears of my rooftop

caught in a bucket.

I will not complain.

I will not complain.

Morning rain,

A delicate reminder

of power

of mercy

of the living

of death.

Morning rain,

emotionally

balanced.

Not angry

today

Just sweet-

enough

For the blades of grass

to bend

beneath

your supple body

without worry

without care.

It's strange rain makes me remember Katrina.

Water - such power. Life and death in each drop - and it sounds so pretty now.

Thank you Patricia Smith
