An Island in Harlem

Walking around in Harlem, people hawking their tawdry wares, I am reminded of when my family lived in the British West Indies and I feel that some kind of cycle has been completed. It’s funny how upon emerging on the other side of what we might call a transformation, when the wheel starts turning again, we realize we are more or less the regular people we’ve always been – just more free to be O.K. with that notion. Our humanity is our greatest gift and nothing to be transcended.

  1. then perhaps what we call humanity is really not humanity since real human-ness allows for oneness, which is divine, and very much can be felt HERE and NOW.

    made me think. had to come back & ‘add’ me words.

  2. That’s more or less what I was getting at, and moments like the one I described are something that brings that home to me. It’s always here and now, unfortunately, we are frequently there and then. ;) And thank you very much. :)
