On a new mission

Los Angeles is a mecca to all artists and vagabonds, to those easily bored, and to those who want to dream.
This is my city.

So I have a mission to help my poets. I may not know them personally, but I think it is essential to write into history the effective and influential poets that trek across Los Angeles; where 10 miles may feel like 100 miles in LA traffic. While the poor man might be the wisest man, I want to make sure everyone knows his name! You dig?

I'm writing LA Poets into the free encyclopedia...that is the wiki. Since I meet so many writers in this city, I aim to help promote them on a different level, by means of the public eye and the internal internet.

First on my list, my muse. Second could be you...

    Oh my god!
    How bright my eyes I focused on her, to quench my sighs that fell up on her!
    Did not my senses reveal a future told?
    Did I allow a misty vail to be obscure?
    Now latent years have passed me by; I sit alone just wondering why?
    This child so pure and keen, has set my life to be serene!
    That now before my very eyes, I see myself immortalized!
    Shes'quickends me beyond compare, she touches my soul to bid affair; eternal sufferage to where I dare!
    I am compelled to make that claim, to where I'm destend I have no shame, I love my daughter all the same!

I'm heading to the Moon!

     Since I was a little girl, I was in love with wind, the land, and the proximity of the moon. Her glowing face shed just enough grace to soothe my tears in its quiet light.  I felt the depth of her passion, her longing, her loneliness, her strength. I sought the eyes of her face; along with their color, and holding smile. She traced me along the footprint I patted down; little girl beating brown; a tiny hand of mud.

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence. Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...
