No More Words
I watch the news now and wonder how much more humanity can take. Last week, focus on the coronavirus evaporated once the heart wrenching video of George Floyd's death was seen and mourned around the world. Surely, the planet shook and bobbled on its axis, creating jagged waves of fear and despair. Now is the time to put away the pen, the keyboard, and all incendiary language that heedlessly seeks to provoke and divide us. No more words. Words became finger-pointing, soul-draining, power-seeking weapons that made us forget who we really are: spiritual beings in physical bodies. I believe in the power of spirit. Do you? Can we trust ourselves to communicate with our hearts now in the eternal language of love and kindness?
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
“Listen, Rico. I think you have to trust people sometimes. And I trust Officer Logan a lot. I mean, really.” The boy ignores her and retrieves the leather reins. “Hey, are you even listening to me?” she demands.
“Save your breath, High-rise.” He stands, arms folded across his chest, a steely glint in his eyes.
“No! Not till you tell me you’re gonna help save this horse, cowboy!” To prove she means business, she folds her own arms across her chest. It isn’t hard to glare back at him. “You said you and Rosa won that rodeo because you were a team, remember?”
Rico gives her a skeptical nod.
“Well, looks like I’m the only team you’ve got right now. And he needs us.” She points at the horse and waits. Caesar whinnies and bobs his head as if in agreement. “See? Even he wants us to be his team.” She strokes the horse’s cheek. “We won’t let you down, buddy,” she croons.
