with the

Delta Queens

There’s just something about

getting reconnected

to our roots!

I had an invitation to do just that

with a beautiful group of women…

a generation ahead of me…

to remind

this traveled soul

of where my seeds were sown…

They were planted in the South!

Oh how my soul was quenched with…

the

Delta

and its

Dawns

…

all coming together

unknowingly

rhythmically 

showing me

…

this

is how you dance your way

into a day…

all welcoming me…

back to the place

where stories have souls

…

tickling my roots 

where the water runs deep

in the grounded language of

Syllables

all dripped in honey

…

drawing from that sweet well…

of southern drawls and ya’lls

Perking

the innards of ones heart

for a second helpin’

of the next morsel to hear.

No gossip…

just captivated ears

 hanging onto each note

of another melodic tale

that  would eventually be told.

These southern gals…

had smiles full of nurture

and eyes full of light

…

Not one weed in

this well fertilized bunch!!!

All teamed up

for the mission of that day..

Seize it…

Embrace it…

and

Dance it away!

I mean…

Have you ever

slow danced

with a moment?

Well these gals reminded me how!

I understand now why I had to create another world…

Josephine’s World

Once you grow up in a town

filled with such story telling souls…

It makes footprints on your heart

with a need to create a path

back to that special place…

a path returning to seeing

through childlike eyes…

Awakening wonder within

…

Enjoying the moment of

now

and not  

then or when. 

May you enjoy

slow dancing

with each moment

through this story tellin’ soulful day!
