Monday, October 13, 2008. Photos from Poetry Africa. MYTH OF THE MOTHERLAND. Sunday, October 12, 2008. Poem 1 (By Tahani). Like a piano lesson. Patience Passion and Poise. There is a woman’s in the distance. With words written down her face. That I can barley see them. I can close my eyes and see a reel of life’s dedication play for me. I know one day I will have to thank her. For teaching me to listen to the stories of my heart beats. I am grateful for blinking eyes and gods kiss of faith. I am not vain.

MYTH OF THE MOTHERLAND: Roxy from Egypt
http://mythofthemotherland.blogspot.com/2008/10/roxy-from-egypt.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. I have gotten into the swing of things, and already have my routines and it scares me. I was going through old journal entries reading about all the little children that would come up to me at the beginning and ask for baksheesh (money). I wrote about all th. E conflicting emotions that where going through my heart. Whether it was wrong or right to give them money what was fifty cents to me? But was I only feeding into a horrible cycle? I am trying so hard to savor these moments.

MYTH OF THE MOTHERLAND: This was after hearing a poem about heritage (By Tahani)
http://mythofthemotherland.blogspot.com/2008/10/this-was-after-hearing-poem-about.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. This was after hearing a poem about heritage (By Tahani). We have watched the leaves of our lives taken shape. Lined with the journeys of our lineage. Mustered our way to brown. Life lines of wisdom have been spread across my face. By the whisper winds of grandmother stories. We are left wounded in the mist of life lessons we are lifted away by winds kiss. We have fallen from the finger tips of grandfather trees. Falling in to the abyss of life’s twists and turns. Life as a leaf.
