POETRY . COUTURE
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean learning and company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeat with your headup and you eyes open, with the grace of an adult,not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns ifyou get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone else to bring youflowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...That you really are strong,And you really do have worth.
-Veronica A. Shoffstall

AWWWW ... Take a look at Ms. Etta King's (via nymag.com)
Etta J. King, Retiree
That bag is incredible. What is in it?
This is a Bible bag, you put your Bible in it and carry it. I got it on 124th Street at a Bible store.
What’s the name of your church?
Convent Avenue Baptist Church on 145th. I live on 156th Street, and walk there and back, especially on good days.
Have you lived in Harlem for a while?
Oh Lord, yes. I came here in 1976. My children are all grown and have their own families.
Do you have a big family?
I have 26 great-grandchildren.
Great-grandchildren?
Well, I’m 66!
That hat!
This is my regular churchwear. I wear a different hat every week. I have about 100.
One hundred! Where do you put them all?
I put them in my hatboxes. I’ve been collecting them for over fifteen years. All the other ladies at church are always asking me, where do I buy my hats? It makes me proud. I buy them wherever I go—downtown, Broadway, the Bronx.
Is this your favorite?
No, not really. But everyone says it looks beautiful on me, so I looked in the mirror and thought, Oh, maybe it does.
What’s the best thing about your church?
I like the music, the singers, the pastors, the people. I have a lot of friends here.
But you have the best hats.
Yes, I do. I guess I win the prize.
