for my friend wayne

sweeping clean with the black book
his parents kept house
funneling their ancestry of faith
the truth
as twisted as the wind
they carried it with them

so in his back pocket he carried his heart
until he had his own house to sweep
footprint on the unread black cover
stepstool to reach the window for a clearer view
he stood higher to see what he carried within him

footprints left the book behind
left behind the fire of the father and the mother
and passed up halls and preachers, past the prayers and the structure
to catch the wind of his own truth

awakening what he carries in his bones
putting his heart back in it’s rightful place
carried within

his own name for it
no tall tale, just Love

he carries it with him

it is and it does
bring one to weeping
to imagine all along, the truth steeping

the divine is the vitality of my life
can this be true?
we’re not separate from the light?

no need to reach out
but rather in
and see without a doubt
everything there is

the sprout sprung from the universal seed
is me

Carmen the Chicken Killer by Sarah Curtiss

This is the story of my 2-month stay in Costa Rica a few years ago. It wasn’t my first trip. I had visited the year before with my partner, William Solis, who is from Costa Rica. But this particular year I wanted to learn Spanish. My initial plan was to take an immersion course in Mexico. However, William said that if I was going to immerse myself in a Spanish family it might as well be his. They don’t speak any English so I would be forced to speak Spanish and I could get to know them better. I told him that when I returned I would know more about him and his family than he did and so it has proven to be true. William joined me for the last 10 days. This is my journal plus emails I wrote to family and friends and a few comments from my current perspective…six years later. I drew a picture every day using pencil, pen, colored pencil, water colors, and acrylics. I wrote in my journal almost every day. I took photographs.
