What I say

It is not the hard times that last, but the hard people that do!

Thank You, Future

I am pushing!

Today I learn

Grace and Peace

I looked to my friend today to teach me something new or something old that I may learn again. Spearheading the microphone through my CD player, he told me his stories and his history and I believed him.

"It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine".

If I could open myself and place on display the light that shines within me, I would. I would let you see just how bright the light is and how I often forget that it laminates and casts forward on its own accord. Sometimes there is beam so bright that even I can not see past it and then God takes it and suppresses it and gives it back to me. That is my way remaining humble and human inside my own light. I see it, first thing in the morning before the drop of water, before the first hint of dove and before the smear of make-up. I see the light!

I am Here

Grace and Peace

I went there a little unknowing. I was skeptical and afraid of what might happen. I got there and everything seemed all right and then everything seemed all wrong.

When I stepped on stage, I was at home. They was feeling me and I was feeling them. Energy was robust and I was happy.

Collective Purpose was good to me. There was a High School in the ranks and I must give honor and props and thanks...to those of you who did y'all thang, Be blessed. Those of you who supported the venue...the poet needs you.

Thank you

Grace and Peace

I am really feeling this Dude!

Inspiration, comes from those who don't even try!

They are simply being, simply doing what it is that they do!

Mr. Obama, I am with you!

Here We Go!

Only I know that in the morning I won't be able to write. I will be worried and my stomach will be turning over and I will be again nervous. I might just snap, because I can get like that sometimes. The show is tomorrow night and I can not imagine what the place looks like or how many people will be there. They will watch me sweat it out and scream out loud.

Corbet Dean says, it is good when you are scared - take chances. I will, I will.

Following Links

I was following some links today and that got me here and then I ended up here. I took a left turn and ended up here and just when I thought that I was ready to go home, I ended up at this place.

She Still Sings

Grace and Peace

She and I spoke just a few days ago, there she was bellowing out from my CD player. She dropped notes into my heart and swam melodies into my ears. She is the truth. Moving past stones and climbing over mountains with a deep voice strong enough to crack the embers of my soul. This girl is Bold!

Sister Nina Simone

I Think That I Learn From It!

Grace and Peace

While walking in a field, Shug says to Miss. Celie that she thinks that it pisses God off to walk by the color purple and not notice it.

Celie says that she wants a purple dress, so that she can feel like royalty. Purple makes her feel like she's somebody, somebody that can open her mouth and be heard.

There is something to be said about God and who he is. Shug says: "I think that more than anything, God loves admiration."

Assata

I have been reading today...

Truth #2

Everything is no doubt broken into pieces by perception. Then there is fact, which blossoms into Truth. When Truth is not hiding in its secret places, it chooses to dangle itself, not only in your face but also in the faces of the masses. When Truth is turned loose, tired of being captive and of being shut up behind lies, it flares like a fire and spreads through the soul.

We try to prevent the fire next time, by refusing to be opened, refusing to love or be loved and denying ourselves. Lies are dangerous and disastrous. Lies tear down homes, paint fear on light poles, make churches into graveyards and mis-guides the already weary.

I went there, first, out of curiosity. I came back a second time seeking a second chance. Once again slowly but surely opening my heart, in order that I may receive love once again. Now, uncertainty rest on my shoulders. Because he dismissed it without the faintest hint of what Truth is, we don't know, they don't seem to care, but I am just a little confused.

What is Truth? No, for reals this time.

Tired of This!

Look at what I found in one of my many e-mail accounts:

You know what Mr. Marley here is my letter to you:

Dear Mr. Marley,

I am deeply concerned with your lack of business savvy and I believe that you have the wrong person(s). Just about everyone that I know has received your little invitation to become an asshole. In fact sir, I believe that I even saw this little scam of yours on Dateline or was it 20/20 or was it both. I would like it very much if you would not e-mail me with such offers anymore. Contrary to popular belief everyone that lives in the United States is not as dumb as the person that runs it.

Thank you for immediate attention to this matter

Truth

Grace and Peace

Something to write is definitely surging on the ends of my fingers. A weekend with a certain amount of calmness in the air and then there was a pound of chaos mixed in with a pinch of despair.

"Know those who labor amongst you" was the word. I get it, I even overstand the concept, the idea...umm the portrayal of this scripture. In order to understand the big picture, one has to know what Truth is. And whom does Truth belong to?

I can honestly say, that I don't want to be bothered with scandal in my secret place. Where God is blessing and someone else is destroying. Wherein contained in this idea, concept, visualization is there Truth? I think that Truth lies somewhere between the mattress and box spring, swept up under the rug, in the milk carton along with spoiling liquids, in the back of the shelf where moth balls form, in the corners where roaches and spiders roam and behind everything that can be used to hide the utter, utmost Truth.

Someday we will evolve. Peace Odie

Saturday Morning Pleasures

Grace and Peace

Work on a Saturday Morning should be against the law.

It's not like I sit outside and listen to the birds sing, but hell if I was off I just might.

Enjoy Saturday!

How I do!

Grace and Peace

So I have found out how to add links to my page. (HURRAY!) At times I can be a little slow, ya know! I had been trying to get you all to the Bob Marley page and although you all don't comment I know that you do read the blog. It surprises me sometimes, when one of you all call me and ask me about one of my posts or when I see that one of you have printed one of them out.

So now I am in the process of learning Latin and it is killing me. However, I know that it will not win. I will win the battle of Latin vs. Bliss. I have to, I have no other choice. In the meanwhile, I have selected a manager and I have two features coming up. One is in San Diego, in which I will be traveling to later this month and the other feature is in November, here at home.

I have to find to stop and catch my breath. Slow up pace, but then there are times when I think that I am just starting out and I can't stop to rest now. You know How I do!

Grace and Peace

Trying this one more time

This is a test, only a test...

I was reading about Bob today! Thought that you all might be interested!
