Blessings Loves!
Last night I flew into downtown Los
Angeles to read my written piece selected for publication in the anthology,
Only Light Can Do That, a collection of post-election short stories, poems and
essays.
My pa and ma, primas, cuñada, sobrinos, hermana, hermanito and his esposa mobbed it to the
Last Book Store.
I felt held up by their love.
I read my piece with a measured
cadence.
I focused on filling the shared space with a sentiment of passion and bold truth.
I read my last line, and the crowd
roared.
Whaaaaat!? The response was unexpected.
I didn't know anyone there besides my familia standing on the sidelines - smiling all big.
It was a surreal experience - and
yet, everything about that moment felt completely right.
Onward and upward from here mi
gente!
