The Daily Read

  • Of, By, For, To

    Part One: “Of the People”

    Let a symphony of voices form a cacophony so loud

    God themselves won’t be able to ignore our

    sorrow; the shattered fragments of our hearts

  • This I Believe (Names)

    The ancient Greeks believed that names held power. I happen to agree. 

    I don’t remember when I first discovered this truth. It is something I feel like I have always known, since the moment I received my first name. 

  • A toast to dreams

    I wish for a day where my dreams do not change for each day of the week.

    But perhaps I do not.

    Because some days I wish for a future where I am always busy, in a city that sleeps even less than I do.
