Lamp burns soft and low,
Worlds unfold beneath my hands —
Sleep can wait a while.

Rice and fried sardines,
The scent floats out the window—
Home before the day.

deep summer
the sudden rainstorm
leaves no trace

Bribes flow like a stream,
police stop cars in the night,
justice sold in cash.

Promises of change,
written bold on banners red,
fade when wallets speak.

summer night
the fragrance of hibiscus rising
from my tea

The House We Sheltered In and The Masks We Wore: A Pandemic Picture Book

A picture book celebrating the joys of homebound life and the collective heroism of our fight against COVID-19.

Sacrifice's choice
awareness reveals
other's dignity
Empathy deepened
we respond
to others' pain
as our own
Solidarity cultivated
Love's act heals
_______________
Inspired by suffering’s choice compassion reveals …
#MicroReflection
When we begin to choose to put people before self, this choice shapes how we live together. We learn to notice worth in every person and treat each life with care. We step in, listen, share, and act, refusing to ignore need. We carry one another through hard times and stand close when life feels heavy. Our actions build bonds that hold us together and create spaces where no one stands alone. As we give, we grow, and our shared life becomes stronger, gentler, and hope begin more apparent with each practiced act.

Dust and ink embrace,
Faded letters hum their song,
Past lives breathe again.
