Sunday morning. West Sands. The mist is rolling in and filtering the world. The sky is the brightest of whites. And looking up all I seem able to focus on are the cuts and lines layered onto the lens of my eye. Simultaneously the white of the sky and the focus on the very lens through which I observe the world feels like stepping way way behind and out of my head. A friend holds me as both our sets of eyes redden and gleam with tears. Sometimes it is good to be sad.

About Me
- Name: beckita
"Change, personal and political does not come about in a day, nor a year. But it is the day to day decisions, the way in which we testify with our lives to those things in which we say we believe, that empower us. Your power is relative, but it is real. And if you do not learn to use it, it will be used, againist you and me and our children. Change did not begin with you and it will not end with you but what you do with your life is a vital part of that chain. The testimony of each of our daily lives is a vital missing remnant in the fabric of the future." - Audre Lorde
