What masks are you wearing to hide some of your imperfections or cries? That's what Dunbar address in this poem. It was written before the Civil Rights Movement so we can imagine how thick the clouds of racism must have been. I hope you have the courage today to strip off masks which only make worse the little foxes that spoil the vine. If there's any mask you should be wearing, let it be the one required to keep others safe. #Covid19Cheers to true. Cheers to you. Cheers to bloom.
What if you wrote a letter to your goals? What would they look like?This poem was inspired in April 2020 by my personal goals. I realize all the time, as you probably have, that dreams don't work unless we do. So, here's to you putting in the work. I hope you always find the courage to pick yourself up. Below is a quote that should help:"I felt foolish the rest of the morning, especially when I recalled the artists who had done their work in gulags, prison cells, hospital beds; who did their work while hounded, exiled, reviled, pilloried. And those who were executed...this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear." - Toni Morrison.
