My husband didn't want the divorce, but i did. so there was a lot of bitterness initially. once we got to the space where we understood that we have the most important thing in the world in common; no one else shared that commonality. our son is priceless, and in order to give him the best, we have to be better to each other. although we are still divorced, we still call each other "family." it was a journey to get there, but it's a beautiful place to be.

My husband didn't want the divorce, but i did. so there was a lot of bitterness initially. once we got to the space where we understood that we have the most important thing in the world in common; no one else shared that commonality. our son is priceless, and in order to give him the best, we have to be better to each other. although we are still divorced, we still call each other "family." it was a journey to get there, but it's a beautiful place to be.

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. bitterness sickens life; love heals it. bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes.

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

I've learned to become a progressive man because i have four women in my life. and their mother, who i'm not married to anymore, but who impresses me because of our relationship. because we have a very deep and friendly relationship that is completely about who we really are now. before it was husband, wife, mother, father. but now it's about who we are as human beings. because we didn't give up on each other. and because we didn't hurt each other and blister each other from a divorce. we became tight. best friends. and more than that even, because now we're best parents.

Once i spoke the language of the flowers, once i understood each word the caterpillar said, once i smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings, and shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. once i heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, and joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, once i spoke the language of the flowers. . . . how did it go? how did it go?
