Sky Brown, Ocean Blue
Tyranny and Humanity
Their friendship sailed on the high seas of adventurous hope.
Foaming waves reared their heads in admiration and rhythmic affection.
Winds swirling faster and faster in musical encouragement.
Shoulder to shoulder, faces steering the ship away from dancing tornadoes.
David and Johnathan had nothing on these two ambitious souls,
who forged onward with stealthy strength over the silvery, sleek seas.
Minds bending elements with articulate artistry and harmonious fervor.
"Where to Ocean Blue?" asked Sky Brown.
"Away from tyranny and humanity!" called Ocean Blue.
The fiery flames of tyranny and humanity waved a mournful farewell to the captain friends.

Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
