Thanks Glasstire Magazine @glasstire for the highlight. Everyone, please register to view my work this week. (Visit @cinemahtx to register). The enslaved people of Texas learned that “Emancipation” had legally set them free, Two years-Five Months and Eighteen Days after everybody else. I’ve been careful about blind ritualization that often happens on this pre-solstice day. This “Lil’ Fourth of July” could be mistaken for a “lil’ Memorial Day”, where we barbecue and drink, death and dying. I’ve been focused on remembering. Remembering that Freedom could have been called but we were too busy working to hear it. And everyone was complicit in the milking of our captive labor. On Juneteenth, I celebrate the power of remembering the truth. and the power of resting. Hearing Freedom ring by Listening. And doing whatever brings me joy. I’m my house, we celebrate Juneteenth for 2 years 5 months and 18 days EVERY year. #juneteenth #lisaeharris #cryofthethirdeye #thelastresort #texasjuneteenth #studioenertia ✌🏾 (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnxmCipsW_/?igshid=1trxo091cao7p

My beautiful girl, my Katy Baty, my Katy Mama, my baby girl, my light. I am so sad to say that my Katy was hit by a car this afternoon and is gone from this world. The neighborhood children came by to tell me, and they comforted me. A neighbor brought her body to my yard and laid her in the spring grass. The kids came back and asked me about my tears and if they could come if I bury her. And they brought flowers for her, and a gift of her hair they found near the accident. Thank you @rorypabon for coming and wrapping her body, and praying over her. She loved you. Jesus, give me strength. 🙏🏿 Katy found me and chose me to be her human 7 years ago. She belonged to my old neighbors but she always spoke to me when I was outside. Before my old neighbors moved for good, they came by to say the notices I had a “special connection with ‘Lucky’ “ and that they were moving. I couldn’t adopt her so I just wished them well. About seven months later, she came to me during a storm, emancipated and crying outside of my door. I fed her. Soon after, I let her inside during a hurricane. I was hers ever since. This was at my old house that got turn down. My fly-by-night life immediately changed as I had to suddenly consider another being’s well being other than myself. Katy was a teen mom soon after we met, and she quickly had her first litter of 3 kittens, in the lining of my sofa while I was in New Orleans. @rorypabon was her couch doula! One kitten was adopted by a friend, and the other two stayed with me and Katy. My mom would care for them when I was away, and my cousin one time too. She grounded me, and kept her little paw on my hand when I was sick. She was my nurse and my soul mate. I am so heartbroken. And I know her kids Grey Grey and Stripe Stripe will hold this loss so dear. I’m grateful for them and how she shared her life with me. I don’t understand what’s going on in the world but I know the greatest is Love. Rest in Pretty Girl Peace, my Katy Baty. Home is not the same without you. I love you. #katybaty #operacatsofthirdward #cryofthethirdeye (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xWMfJJzbg/?igshid=1syxddy9rt7u1
