Mother of Pearl

Point Reyes Coast

A treasured gift from the California painter and muralist, Dennis King.
Dennis, I will always love this painting.....

won’t you celebrate with me

Lucille Clifton, 1936 - 2010

won’t you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

Seriously
