Whats It All About?

Its all about the twisting, turning, thinking, learning, bass pounding coffee grounding, love-making, risk-taking, life, yo.

I believe that everyone deserves to be treated like a human being, to not be hungry, to not be afraid. I believe that a country has the responsibility to take care of its citizens, and I believe that everyone has the responsibility to look after those in their community, the global community. Finally, I believe that every human life is as equally valuable as the next; it doesn't have a price tag. You could say I'm an idealist, but really I'm just not willing to settle for less.

I do not fear the ocean.

I do not fear the ocean
I think, I feel, I cry
sand swirling around my legs
as if a desert wind swept them up
millions of tiny people
spinning around each other
no gravity just
movement
I do not fear the waves
they knock me over 
as I struggle to find a place for my feet
the sand protests
pummeled by a thousand pounds
with the force of the moon’s gravity
I tumble
Somersaulting with grace
upside-down cartwheels
back bends, hand springs,
out of control but embodied by the water
I am covered in salt and sand and simplicity
If only you would want me 
unconditionally like the ocean
tides always pulling me in
a constant reminder that I am
worth something
I don’t fear the ocean
the ocean will always take me in
it stifles my cries 
surrounds me, picks me up, holds me
suffocates me, soothes me
I do not fear the ocean
But, darling, I fear you.
