Ebb & Flow

By Arminta Richardson Harris

Ebb & Flow is a journey of brokenness and wholeness, a sabbatical of sorts, a glimpse of craziness dashed with an array of solitude. A myriad of Agape, Eros, Philia and Storge epithets. A spiritual awakening, a revolutionary moment, a period of redemption and an act of faith. It's my painting but your color, your auntie's canvass but your cousin's brush, your mama's couture but your daddy's fine design, your uncles' swagger but your grandparent's wisdom. It's the ups and downs; the ins and outs, the cross and the criss cross of who we are. It's a surge of cultivating energy, a receding stream of purity; it's my space, in time with the one I love, Always.
