Cracking Open

Cracking Open

It’s crazy how the simplest of things
can crack open your mind and your life
to a new world.
I was watching someone crack an egg.
they were so careful to separate the yolk from the white.
They had to crack it open to let it go.
What do I need to crack open and let go in my life.
What do I need to let go of
so I can evolve?
What if I am like a pinata,
needing to be cracked open
so all my blessings can flow out?
What beliefs do I need to let go of?
What if I let go of one thing a month,
or a week,
or a day?
What is keeping me from walking in the
fullness of the gifts and blessings
the Ultimate has inside me?
Perhaps today I need to start cracking myself open
and open myself up to
the adventures and blessings
on this amazing journey.

Memories of a Teacher

Memories of a Teacher

“Write about bridges.”
This was one of those powerful
life changing messages
given to me by the late
Rev Dr James Evans.
My heart still trembles
as I type his name.
He was the one who made me
fall in love with theology.
He told me to find myself
and my way of interpreting scripture
that built bridges.
He challenged me to read scripture
for the stories of bridge builders.
The people who were not one tribe or the other,
the people who told stories about building bridges, and
the people who knew about the vertical
and the horizontal beams of the cross.
He encouraged me to be a liberator,
one who both taught about how the perfect form of slavery
was not even realizing you were enslaved
and a liberator from those
invisible shackles which enslaved.
He taught me to own my Sophia
and created spaces for me,
a humble m.div student
to teach d. min students
in a course on activism and advocacy.
I know I am not the only one he liberated.
He did more than write about
black liberation theology,
he created keys
which unlocked so many of our gifts.
I know he unlocked many of mine.
