Signs

Sometimes you get tiny inklings - no more than intimations - that the universe is on your side.

Sometimes, a giant wave of serendipitous good fortune sweeps over you. The universe is not just on your side, the universe is embracing you and flowing around you like honey.

I just got a call, totally out of the blue, from my dear friend, Arshad Khan, Montreal-based producer and director of the documentary-in-progress,Threadbare. We feed off each other's work, each others' activist and creative visions, even though we only speak every 6 months or so. He's coming into Oakland this weekend. He'll be at the premiere on November 5th.

Shailja is my muse. Her voice lifts my soul out of any dark crevice that it may have fallen into on my journey through the complex myriad that is my depressive brain.

Shailja's poetry gives me hope in humanity.
