Have you ever known something to be true but weren’t quite sure how you knew? The source of the knowledge was so intangible and obscure, that the information was easy to dismiss. In reality, that truth doesn’t disappear just because we don’t acknowledge it.

I once worked for an Afro-centric organization that perpetually stated and believed that “everything is in order”. No matter what it looks like, feels like, smells like…everything is in order.

In this photo we can only clearly see one thing. How foreign? We live in a fast paced, multi-dimensional, multi-faceted culture that pulls our hearts, our minds, our desires, our attention, our convictions, our values, our commitments—and don’t forget our pockets—in a million different directions all at one time.

Memories....is there any power in them or are they simply a meaningless, routine part of life? What good are they? How can they be used to our advantage?
