#poem #WorldPoetryDay At a reef point winds whispered, colors unseen in a sky so low, waves moving at a pace cleansing my heavy clouds, warmth foreign to me formed a blanket around my soul.
Like a orphan my wanderlust found a home, a resting place. Old thoughts a blur and wounds starting to mend~hard to look backwards, walking into unknown territory. Pouring tears on the river's banks rushing into heaven's courts falling naked, heart bowed...
I was consumed, fire to burn away the infusion of scars so deep as the ocean's floors I began to rise. Emptiness in this solace of rejection, seeking love, bathed in my Creators waters the end of the war became clear.

Today is day three of Brexit votes this week and here’s what’s going to happen:
- First, MPs are voting on four amendments
- Then they’ll vote on the main motion put down by the government to delay Brexit
ft.com/content/5605c7…
Here’s what the four amendments are:
- To have a second referendum
- To vote if parliament will take control of Brexit from the government
- To vote to delay Brexit and debate alternatives
- To vote whether to prevent a third vote on Theresa May’s deal
ft.com/content/5605c7…
The first of the amendments has already been voted on, with parliament rejecting a second Brexit referendum by 85 to 334 votes.

The Mass of Christ In a Time of Sundering - a poem by me for @RedWedgeMag #poem #poetry

No ear may hear, but in this world of sin
our thumbs flick across screens, ring trolley bells
and scan the fares. Wheels howl unholy dins,
dead bodies washed ashore say their farewells
to fishes. Nets cast to the other side,
the tentacles all rotting in the trucks.
Gas canisters that washed up with the tide,
best wishes, cards, God's blessings and good luck.
The twinkling lights, cups half-crushed, sleeping men
curled tight, cement, car parks full up by seven.
Church packed, the rafters echo with the hymn:
so, God imparts the blessings of his heaven.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

1. Hi @enovella_! Unfortunately, they removed the #angela #root in the last #oneplus5 update.
2. After your tweet, I unpacked the today #oneplus5 update downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/onep…
Why the "What's new" is different 🤔?
3. You can find the DiagEnabled.java and CheckRootStatusActivity.java gist.github.com/fs0c131y/80fb5…

The call to the "door" native lib had been removed from DiagEnabled.java but the "#angela #root" check in CheckRootStatusActivity.java is still here.
