Watching the old man go about the seemingly mundane business of trimming his toe nails takes me back to my younger years when my grandparents were still alive.
I would trim my grandma’s nails and massage her feet with a special ointment made out of shea butter and I recall how she would praise and call me pet names that only she had the privilege to 😊
Now, I feel nostalgic.

Thank you. I took it from the other side of the street where I went to search for some African food stuff.

The other side of the street… Ah! I tried to judge that from the angle.

A great photo. 🙂 I’ve been reading some of your book, Jacqueline. I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Each poem is beautifully written while filled with wisdom and emotion. It will take me some time to finish the entire book. It’s not the kind of reading that can or should be rushed. 🙂

Your writing is absolutely beautiful and very powerful. I’ve learned how to make notes so I can go back to a poem that I found particularly moving. I can’t remember the name of one poem that I read before learning how to make notes, but it went straight to my heart. I’m so happy to own your book. 🙂
