Dear Craft,

Feels like I haven’t seen you in a while.
Last time we crossed paths you stopped by my kitchen door… a little tipsy, a good flirt, something in your eyes that told me you already knew what this was.

Since then I’ve been here, I’ve been there…
but it’s not the same.

I hope you didn’t think I’d be gone for long.

You should know, I’ve been missing on your b***y.
And soon I’ll be back loving on your b***y,
kissing on your b***y, and touching on your b***y. 😘

Hope you missed me too.

Love, Chef

Today is the result of billions of actions and decisions enacted upon the shoulders of countless others. Both Good and Bad without which the present wouldn’t exist... as Buddhist would say; in raising a speck of dust. This is where we find ourselves, the dichotomy that is this dark twisted fantasy.

A truthful look back at what was, through the lens of what is, and the acceptance of both. Sun Faced Buddha, Moon Faced Buddha.

I am Black History!
