Today felt like an expansion
of the world that I thought I once knew. I was thrown through the portals of
time, back in time to a place so different from my own. Pulled through the
portal of time, I was brought to a home so big and grand. With lavish wallpaper,
tables and chairs made of mahogany, and grand pianos. All these things were fit
for a king. I felt as if the home were speaking to me with its grandeur, it was
telling me something. A message I may not be able to comprehend now. When I had
to leave the portals of time, I was suddenly thrown back into my harsh reality of
our world. But, this journey was all for not. The word "Sankofa" came
to me. The African bird of resurrection who says that you must "Look back
to move forward."
