Every drawl of my huskiness, and every flex is snapped into its rightful place, not as the demonstrable evidence of man, no. It is, the connectedness of my body to the soulish devices that have been there, all the while, and hadn’t had a palette.

A billion

Bloganuary - Day 13 - If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? Give 5 million to each of my family and friends. Invest in my creative endeavours and books. Invest it, and use the dividends to support a large number of NGOs I would not stop working, because I love … Continue reading A billion →

Self-ownership is success

Bloganuary - Day 11 - How do you define success? I wasn't sure how to answer that question before the year 2015. I did most of what people would determine should lead you to success. I tried college, and even after I stopped short on college, I still pursued diplomas and certifications, and even tried college … Continue reading Self-ownership is success →

The Alchemist

Bloganuary - Day 10 - Has a book changed your life? The Alchemist by Paolo Coello When you can’t pinpoint a specific moment in a book when it has shrunk your imagination into itself, chewed it up, then blown a larger one like gum, it’s a win. This is what The Alchemist did for me. … Continue reading The Alchemist →

Family seed

Bloganuary - Day 8 - How far back can you go in your family tree? This blog prompt has the potential to be a little triggering, but I’m okay, I just have a very different way to approach this. Seven years ago, almost right around today actually, I decided to let go of fear. I … Continue reading Family seed →

Setting up to Rain

Bloganuary - Day 6 - Write a short story or poem about rain. Trinidadians say, "It's setting up to rain." The sky is giving us forewarning that a downpour is on the near horizon, if not just above us. Tidal blockades of water are waiting to wash into our lives, and rain on our parades. … Continue reading Setting up to Rain →

Ink Fever

Bloganuary - Day 6 - Why do I write? The swell of black ink rises in the nib, poised for flow at the top edge of the ink chamber. Always ready to take you over with a sickness, an expulsion of thoughts. Why do I write? I cannot not write. My DNA is already altered … Continue reading Ink Fever →

Life itself

Bloganuary - Day 5 - What brings you joy in life? Life itself. I wasn't always a happy person, but I feel joy about the fact that I changed this for myself, and now, every moment of my life is truly joyful. There are times when I feel like I may not get to my … Continue reading Life itself →

Treasures reclaimed

Bloganuary - Day 4 - What is a treasure that’s been lost? I often think that the greatest treasure that could ever be lost is us...each of us. Losing one self could mean so many things. What would be worse is to not know the kind of treasure that you are, to be lost. I … Continue reading Treasures reclaimed →

Memories are like shallots

Bloganuary - Day 3 - What is the earliest memory you have? Memories are like shallots. They're whipped around each other, and each layer exposes a deeper memory hidden beneath itself. If you look too closely, they sting your eyes - because you sharply draw in a scent that stings. You'd never have remembered this … Continue reading Memories are like shallots →

Purchase The Dream by JanBerry on Amazon

The Dream by JanBerry

The philosophy of time flux is brought to gooey life, in Dani’s dream as an ocean that she becomes suspended in without Zia, her wife.

Dani’s dream state is a disorienting and illusory experience, but when she finally ‘wakes up’, she is delightfully surprised by the reality that had eluded her all along.
