On September 29, 1805, in the slave quarters, a female child was born named Elizabeth. Although her mother was a slave, Elizabeth was born a free child due to the fact that her father was the slave master. In compar

ison to slave children on the plantation, Elizabeth’s life was reported as being quite pleasant. She finished grade school and had the opportunity to complete some secondary school.

Sadness defeated

In times, when the ugliness of life

appears unannounced,

Exhausting our ability to absorb more hurt,

We need to release the pain

which immobilize us,

…….to let it go

Allowing our tears

to wash away the sadness,

Slowly reopening our hearts with new eyes

dedicating ourselves to

rediscovering that which we have lost….
