Hello. I’m Jamila.

I’m a priestess. A poet. An artist. An author.

They sent me here to teach people how to love all things,
how to cherish each salty tear, crimson stain, speck of mud and foggy sky,

to see a six legged creature and know why.

I was sent here to pour glasses of peace and fill plates with knowledge, so we may toast prosperity and savor what we’ve learned thus far,

digesting later what we didn’t understand,
yet need.

I was sent here to nourish my heart with Earth and inspire others to do the same, if only because we will have a good time doing it.

I agreed to come here because I haven’t done this in a long time, and I wanted to feel again the love of Earth.
It’s like no other.
