The Sweetness of the Southern tongue…

Morning walk.

Young brother on his way to school…

“ Sweet heart, your book bag is open.”

“ oh, thank you.”

“have a good day, honey.”

And maybe for the first time, I heard the words that have been spoon fed to my spirit my whole life.

Sugar. (Shuga.)

Honey…

Sugah pie…

Pumpkin ( my mother’s persona'l nick name for me.

Sweetie….

Sweet Heart….

The tongue. The ears.

the spirit.

The Medicine.

Inescapable Sweetness.

Must be something to it.
