watery vowels
a sea filled with ancient tales
liquid sky arches

I walk into the flare of a lighthouse
a rush of salt on my breath

the sea the day I conquered my tears..

Good People Doing Good Things — Mama Shu

Filosofa's Word

Today, I want you to meet Mama Shu, a beautiful woman who turned her own grief into something positive for her community.  Mama Shu is Shamayim Harris of Highland Park, Michigan.  In 2007, her 2-year-old son, Jakobi Ra, was struck and killed in a hit-and-run in Highland Park.
