“Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists. Optimists think it will all be fine without our involvement; pessimists adopt the opposite position; both excuse themselves from acting. It is the belief that what we do matters even though how and when it may matter, who and what it may impact, are not things we can know beforehand.” Rebecca Solnit

When we sleep,
we travel to new universes.
And on some days,
when we awake,
we can’t find our way back
to the one
we started out from.

Because of a broken string
because of a people breaking the string
the earth my place is the place of
something, a thing broken,
that does not stop sounding breaking with me

Dia!kwain’s /xam story, Lloyd Bleek Collection
Tankwa Artscape Residency 2020
myself
and arrived at a place of
nothing
(entangeld with everything)
where there should be
something
I found nothing

embrace
this journey
hold on
to nothing
knowing
there
is
no
permanence
just
the path
ahead
spread your arms out wide
feel the sunlight
on your face
breathe in
all that it
means
to be
here
now
alive
