please...

in a few hours, i'll be locking the door behind me and heading down to my home-town for a few days. very spur of the moment. there's some family stuff going on. my brother burned a line up the 5 freeway yesterday to come get me. he's sleeping, finally, here in my little living room a few feet away. it's been a few days since he's gotten any real, good sleep so i am being as quiet as i can. he needs it. today, my job is to be a good friend and sister to him.

he came inside and saw the big elsie portrait and fell in love. it made me happy. i think it's important to love her... even if you don't know her story. there's just something about the look on that little girls' face. a premonition. a history. a call. a call to action. and it is worrisome. i'm going to let him have the portrait. maybe she can work some magic in his home. guard the corners and arches. sing in a whisper.




anyway... i don't have much information about what's going on but the information i do have isn't good. i hope it's all been misconstrued. i hope there's been a misunderstanding, a mistake. i'll know when i see her. but if you're reading this, would you add my mama to the list of people you pray for? please.
