to the embrace of the city of divine providence
feeling planted by praises, which sprouted out of the soles of my feet
and dove for the earth

I have struggled to find a way to see life for myself beyond it.
It is that this critical juncture that the powerful force of Corey Jackson, too long absent, reenters my life. He asks differently
"So, where are you going?"
Where am I going. That's absolutely right.
