“This portrait speaks volumes because it shows my life in full circle.” When Jacob Barbour, founder of Crossover 4 Christ first moved to Waterbury, Connecticut as a teenager it was where he first played basketball at Riviera-Hughes Park on West Dover Street (formerly West Dover Street Playground) is an area called South Main. South Main is the closest thing to Puerto Rico. Jacob’s bond to South Main is strong because it reminds him of where he’s from. Seeing the peoples’ bondages of pain and poverty in a place of need brought Jacob to a group of people who have become […]

Gusts of salt air encourage the trust between the sea and the shoreline. Scourge of addiction winds drive deep within the gulf onto the coastline of the riviera and the ritz. Multi-role fighter jets passover. They actively seek and destroy scourges of addiction by firing missiles. Most of these clandestine operations by the highest power triumph over sophisticated targets beyond visual range. Instead of going on the defensive, senses return to borrowed breath on the offensive. An alive soul streams as an unceasing spiritual being with eternal destiny. Unquestionable results settles hurling insults with peace like no other. Love comes […]

Searchlight

Swiveling day and night the searchlight goes where it pleases as a concentrated beam without spot or blemish. Panning in the required direction will uncover the truth within the piping of the warehouse, crawl space and/or under the belly of clouds. Renaissance will begin as soon as the reconnaissance is finished. Ascertain the cause of the rescue. It’s not up to us. Plumb the inward parts deep in the system. Around the clock, persistent are the blockages in place to stop the flow of growth. Your nails will be filthy by the end of the day even if you didn’t […]

Blue Tissue

A shoebox space is powdered with blue tissue brights. Move the tissue out of the way to see a treasure hidden among the building stacks laced together with the swirling debris of the trash trade. The source never runs out. The light attracts the eye along the mazing route. Led from the enormous cave, the college aged fixer with pimples and a backpack will stop here before it’s passed by. The plethora of florescent tubes connected by electrical engineering circuits lubricates the Arabian night. His navigation skills do not require satellite integration to get to the point. He nixes the […]

Shower rings hold up the vertical yellow and white striped drapery on the balcony overlooking a noisy intersection in the Shu of Egypt. The drapery is like a cape keeping the blinding sun at bay. The wind whips it out of place from time to time. If the curtain was moved to the side grave danger would have showered upon us. In the distance a department store threatens public welfare with harmless purchases: jackets, pants and shoes. Ring up the apparel for the caliphate fundraiser. A small percentage of the consumption awards the state. High prices dangle from the labels. […]

An elderly muslim man stands barefoot inside the first mosque on Africa’s continent built by General Amr Ibn Al Aas in Old Cairo, Egypt. At high ‘noon‘ stark sunlight floods his solemn prayer as he tilts forward in the oasis of silence. The azaan has prompted his response to listen and wait. The expression of faith has deepened as a pallbearer. A loved one rode on the survivors’ shoulders undulating like an Egyptian flag. An arcade of faint cylindrical columns frame the striking white crocheted skullcap with the present darkness. Ever so still within his full length galabiya swelling outward […]

Ako, the animal ride-share owner, prominently leans against his dromedary camel covered with an evergreen forest stitched saddle. They are dependent upon each other for survival on the edge of the Saharan Desert. Care and companionship fosters affection like domesticated single hump pets. There was no spitting just cantankerous belly roars. A headdress of white linen wraps around his head like long length clouds in the sky. The turquoise lined deep v-neck, olive green galabiya is the outer layer protecting his sun-drenched skin from further exposure. Earning a living at the base of the ancient pyramids of Giza, Egypt wear […]

Anna Maria Horsford embodies the definition of her Los Feliz neighborhood. “The happy” beams all over her beautiful face. It’s special to be here. Tourists turn away as they see the steel yellow-posted sign: “No Access To The Hollywood Sign.” Address the world from the place of discovery. On Live Oak the righteous are called to the steep and narrow. Her home has become an observatory of what could be. A view few see. Set up the backdrop on the back porch near the top of the hill’s crest. Iron giraffes, hippopotamus and rhinoceros stand among the lemon-scented gums.It’s a hike […]

Outside, a plywood lawn chair seats many if you move over. Front row on the plaza. Skateboarders ply on their practice: Entertainment, Criminal Justice, Civil Rights, Personal Injury, Health, Environmental, Business, Immigration and Family. Against the laws. It is the way its been. Gracefully fly by. Aside from the peers and policy: there’s no notice. Remember the ride past the pain threshold through the interpretation of movement. It’s about the truth or would you rather lie? In jest these remarks miss the mark and ignite a flame upon the target. There is something to do after the fall. Building around […]

We’re given a time slot. Properly stacked five high by so many wide. You get back what you put inside the cube. What is on the footage of our inner tube? There is nothing to prove on the preservation for the Lord sustains both man and beast. Have you booked your reservation? Take a look at your reservations and give them up. Trade your locker for the living room built by the tradesman on the Rock. Numerous are left empty and locked. An assignment for each number awaits it’s name. Speed across these precious blocks into the air. Lift from […]
