Still admiring the beauty, the pain, the fracture and breaking of a Frida in our lives. Still humbling ourselves to love. Still breathing

One of my favorite expressionists- in life, in spirit, in art serves as a reminder of the the loudness and grace of simplicity, deeply rooted in the knowledge and acceptance of self. 'Dear Frida' is an expression of vulnerability, last resort of purging, of remembering a Frida, a Beauty no more. Gracias Querida Frida

Conversations between Personalities is a compilation of storywriting and poetry that explores the deep nuances of mental health, love, relationships, therapy, religion and starting over. This episode looks at our 'Honestly' girl, Meera, who is most of the time brutally honest about everything. 'Honestly' is how she identifies in conversations and she's not even aware of it.

Today I shared poems by Thuthukani Ndlovu from his book 'My Poetic Collage', Lethabo Matlakeng from her book 'Palesa hara Meutlwa', Jonathan Lefenya's poem from Poetic Blues therapy by Sun Peo, as well as Oratile Molale's poem from the same book. These are some of the most talented artists in South Africa whose work illuminates.

We are more than we can behold.

This piece is about how we mistake so many things for love just because they feel like love but aren't.
