Is it ok???

Is it ever ok… to say you’re not ok… and not know why you’re not ok…?
Is it wrong to say you’re tired of being strong… when strong is the anthem of every song?
Is it feasible to say the most successful of people… experience momentary days of weakness?
Is it ok… to just say … I’m having a bad day… and yes…
I know… tomorrow… will be… ok… and if not tomorrow… then surely… the next day… Is it ok?

Homelessness is a mockery on human compassion.

As I sit in the comfort of my apartment, with my central heat turned to 65, and my nostrils inhaling the scent of sweet potatoes… I am reminded many of my sisters & brothers are but a stones’ throw from homeless...
After reading an article in the Huffington Post my mind raced to the many homeless here in St. Louis... and the trials they endure season after season... I recall one year, after helping set up the city-rec, for the over flow of homeless men and women that would bed there for the night. I heading home already dismayed about the folks that had to be turned away, due to capacity.
On my way home I spotted a small woman layered in coats… She was covering the top of a sliding board with plastic… that same plastic we use to cover windows in the winter… She was covering a small encasement over the sliding-board… that place where children usually sit and slide.
This woman carefully unfolded the clear plastic… then snapped it like a sheet as she draped it over the little hard plastic dome and all four of its exposed openings… After covering the hard red, blue and yellow plastic dome the woman balled into a knot and laid inside… this was her shelter for the night.
I don’t know what happen to that woman… but for these five years… each winter that comes… I am reminded of her as I pass that park… The woman was but 300 feet from the shelter but she lay in the cold winter’s night atop a slide protected only by the coats on her back and a thin layer of insulating plastic… I can’t help but wonder what I could have done differently…
I say all this to say... we need solutions… for this issue of homelessness is a mockery on human compassion.

Good Night Dec.14.2010 :>)

Now I lay me down to sleep
Behind the veil we will meet
We will solve a mystery…
In sunken treasures hidden deep
Within the ponderings of the mind…
We will see the other’s light
And just before it’s time to wake
I will whisper thank u for this dreamy date…
Sleep well… Mister-Mister :>)

Treasured

In my quest, Silence is a constant friend…
A treasured companion…
A valued escort safe-guarding the rarest of commodities
My Peace…

Tonight I will dream in jazz… I will sing and I will dance…

Traveling time… then the stars… and then the seas…
Lucidly I will dream and jazz will be my beat…
Will you meet me in my dreams and dance with me?
Goodnight… Mister-Mister :>)

Sista Thoughts

The BOOK reads: "Beloved, I wish above all… you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers." As we grow emotionally/spiritually in confidence, then those things which compose our life grow as well, business, finances, and relationships. However, if we are emotionally/spiritually apprehensive and self-doubting, we will not grow, for we cannot grow beyond our ability to believe in ourselves…

How does a man prove his love to me...?




1. A man can prove his love to me by being mentally and physically available, when I need him most.
2. A man can prove his love to me by being fiscally available when I need it most…
3. A man can prove his love to me by trusting me when he needs someone most…

Snow Day...


If I had a choice… I would be snowed in with a man… after my own heart… Someone who shares my same world views… Someone who pretty much enjoys some of the same things I do… Someone who could offer me a good debate… Someone who doesn’t mind rising early and going to bed late… If I had a choice… I would be snowed in with a man… who seeks to grow on with me… one mind… one heart... hand in hand.

Mercy On The Man...

Famished joy in unprofitable pain… Give thy money… Thy hope does save…
Pondered weak and naive… trapped doors swing open on Sabbath days...
Full the state of pondered woes… Separating the sheep from the goats…
Tongues spoken long ago… muttered gently whispered prayers…
Saved for ravenous wolves who do dare… feast in valleys of dry bones…
And sorrowed be too the soul which seeks… The book of life…
For never a name be read in pain… Than the man who was not found …
While the choir does sing… while the congregation does bleed...
And the sheep he did not feed… Mercy on the man…

Sista Quotes

Art by Scott Gustafson 2009 ... Scottgustafson.com



If you learned your words (typed, spoken or written) would not return to you void (unfulfilled), would you change the words you use, or the way you speak…? How many of us are now chasing down our negative words with positive affirmations… We must become impeccable with our speech, mindful of the words we use in reference to ourselves and others… Words are powerful… ask a child… are remember the child you once were.

Sista Poetic Quote

Unforgiveness is the venom of forked tongues,
Slithering vipers, rattling on, and on,
Bitter the guile that once seemed sweet,
Now danger lurks due to adulterous speech,
Speak the truth and free the mind
Forgiveness will come in time…

Sista Quotes


We are the collective vision of our thoughts; we determine our value, our essence, and our substance.
Our substance cannot be found outside ourselves; and until we become aware of whom we are, and align ourselves therewith; our potential lies in wait… and so do our mates…

Thank U… We Sometimes Forget…


Thank U for We sometimes forget…
Thank U for care, and compassion
Thank U for tender embraces and healthy conversations
Regardless of our tendency to go on and on
Thank U for making the bread, and sharing the dough
Thank U for kissing the bruises, an speaking the pain gone
Thank U despite the fact we sometimes forget to say,
To every Father, Brother, Lover, Husband, Friend or Son…
Thank U

Sista Prayer

Make me to rise to higher heights, to span new horizons, and expand the reach of my territory… Gird me with wisdom, clothe me with love, and fashion me to be, the very support I need.

"For Colored Girls" My Two Cents


My Two Cents,
We seem to forget, this is a movie based on a play, written by a woman, who experienced these truths in her life, and the lives of the women around her. It is my opinion; Tyler Perry desired to bring this book to film, in honor of its author Ntozake Shange, and her story. I was eleven when my mother first brought “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf”, home…
The book was the rave in the African American Book Community for which my mother frequented. As a result she purchased the book, only to have me to crack the pages and dive in, before she read the first words.
For weeks I carried the book as if on assignment from GOD, to read and comprehend its pages. I was moved by the stories, the poetic rhymes of each tale, and was consequently inspired to write my first piece of poetry.
Since then I have written (although not yet published) hundreds upon hundreds of rhythmic lines, and words that dance and prance in the minds of the reader.
It is this book that began my odyssey of poetry and I thank Tyler Perry for breathing life, into this creation of art once again. Reading through the multitude of personal post and reviews, I thought, “Hummm let me add my two cents to the pot.
It seems many Brothers are calling “For Colored Girls” another all-out male bashing movie, taken in the same vein as, ‘The Women of Brewster Place’ (written 1982) and ‘Waiting to Exhale’ (written 1992). Brothers seem to feel this movie again dehumanizes, demoralizes, and downright assonates the character of Black men.
As one author wrote “the film made me damn near embarrassed to be a black male”.
For those Brothers, those of you, who are free moral agents of ethics and integrity, who take responsibility for your family, who work diligently to build your community, and who sever the GOD of your creation with the zeal of accountability, I see your grief and understand your agony.
It is true that men of color or depicted as the riffraff deviants of society, sex craved and depraved, running from responsibility, indebted to the law for one crime are another, and that is most unfortunate. Nonetheless, my Brothers, in defense of Tyler Perry (whom I have never meet), I am of the opinion; it was not his intention to undermine, demoralize, nor weaken the already damaged persona of the Black Male Ego.
Had the text originated with Tyler Perry, Brothers, you would have my loyal support. Nevertheless, this is not the case. The film, “For Colored Girls” is a mere depiction of an original work of art, which Tyler Perry challenged himself to remain true to. Therefore I applaud my Brother, and recommend this movie to all who have yet to see it, and as you watch remember, the depictions of life in this film may not be your reality, but it is some bodies’ truth.

Winter is coming... it's cloudy & cool outside


I am already basking in the Oasis of my mind… absorbing the warmth of the suns light, relaxing at the oceans side, watching the seagulls soar through the sky, sipping white wine, as my ink dyes the pages of my journal, and the words spell out, “Wish U were here… I’m having a wonder time.”

Rain


In the brightness of the Suns’ shine,
Not a cloud to be seen,
It rained…
Not an oppressing or painful rain…
Not an ominous or disheartening rain…
Just rain…
Rain for the earth to drink
Rain for the birds that sing…
Rain to remind me, GOD can do ALL things…

"There's ten-thousand blessings in the hollow of his hands, and all I need is one".


Living down south I met many loving souls,
Ms. Moell Latham was one, she was 50 years my senior,
and one of my best friends.
Ms. Moell passed 7 years ago this week and today as I sat in quiet contemplation,
I heard her words ringing in my ear,
"There's ten-thousand blessings in the hollow of his hands, and all I need is one". She said these words to me time and time again, believing them to be scripture.
I could never bring myself to telling her any different, for I understood what she meant as she cried and prayed, “GOD all I need is one”.

You yet live, in my memories...

Sista Affirmations (GOOD THING)


Because I am a powerful creator, I am creating a stream of attraction. In this stream there are men of various callings and life professions motivational speaks, entrepreneurs, preachers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, financial advisors, journeymen carpenters and electricians. This stream flows from me, returning to me, the emergence of HIM. From this stream of goodly gentlemen, my husband emerges, he is a man whom respectfully admires and adores me…
He is a man of tolerance and forethought, wittingly and willingly taking his time to know me. He gives into my life, cheerfully, and abundantly. From his profusion of love, and generosity, he provides for me whole heartedly. He honors me, respects me, and desires me. He leaves no stone unturned when working to create our success. We, he, I cherish the many investments of time we share. He meets my needs, purposefully to assure I am pleased. He gives thanks and praise, for my presence in his life, and we work together to achieve our life goals. He too is a powerful creator, and I am the answer to his soulful prayer for love and companionship.
I am his GOOD THING, and he is mine.

Sista Thoughts


Fall cleaning is at hand, it is time to reevaluate the necessity of all those things we held on to, spiritually, physically and emotionally, following spring cleaning.
We must assess the continued necessity, value and benefits of the things we cling to. We must realize spiritual and emotional hording is just as destructive as physical hording, and devalues our worth. Let us make a clean sweep of all those things, which stagnate and bringing no value to our being. Let us release any muddled confusion, that our visions may be clear, and let the clarity of winter, prepare us for the New Year.

And stand on what you know…

S.O.S. ARE U OUT THERE?


As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home, today I visualize going for a ride through the countryside, watching birds fly, and seeing the corn and wheat blowing in the breeze…
As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home, I visualize a handsome, fine, kind, intellectually astute gentleman, swooping me up, and taking me on a long country drive…
As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home, I desire to dance in the sunshine with a willing friend who also enjoys the countryside, and doesn’t mind sharing time with me…
As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home,
Today I visualize not being home alone…
S.O.S. ARE U OUT THERE?

Sista Affirmations


Awakened, I allow the stream of empowering positive energy to flow through me,as I align with the giving nature of GOD, who gives the power to receive wealth.
My thoughts generate the currency, create the flow, and draw all manner of financial prosperity to me. It is my GOD given right to prosper and be in good health, even as my soul prospers. GOD has given me the tools of understanding and reason, laced with talent and ability, therefore success is the only option for me. I call forth, and draw from the creation that is me, that I may be fruitful and multiply, replenishing the earth with streams of empowering positive energy.

Sista Thoughts


We all have a choice, to address our visions, hopes and dreams whole-heartedly… are on the fly… It is my opinion, when we give our vision the full measure of our breath; it takes on a life of its own. It becomes a living soul, avenues of expansion for which other creative abilities are derived. Awaken the dream in you, give it life, and watch it thrive.

Q/A :

Ladies-
Q: Why do some spend thousands upon thousands of $$$$$$ on a WEDDING DRESS
when it only cost a man 150$ to rent a tux?



Sista-
A: I ask the same question…
Perhaps it’s due to tradition…
I personally would get married in a Kroger Sack, as long as the brother marring me has no problem with Kroger Sacks… For me it’s all about the heart… and that money could be used elsewhere.
Call me crazy, but I’m still stuck on an ole fashion ROOTS wedding… Like when Kunta and Bell jumped the broom… (hummm is that too much information.. oooh well, it’s out now.)

A Thought I Glean, From Something I Read...



I received the gift of the Holy Ghost for the first time at the age of sixteen, since that time, I have witnessed many miracles in my life, some at my own hands, due to the grace and mercy of GOD… Nonetheless, I have grown discontented with the church world. We speak of the miracles of Jesus Christ, and quote the text, but it would seem that not many of us whom cry LORD, LORD, really believe.

With great dismay I witness a world sick and dying, and no one seems to understand these few words… “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do”. Are not these the words of Jesus, written (KJV) in red…?

In my understanding, Jesus raised the dead, made the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and set the captives free… Jesus, by his teachings gave light to the darkened mind… spoke healing to the mentally ill, feed hundreds of thousands, and left us, (his brethren adopted into Sonship) the power to do the same.

Truly the Holy Ghost has need to be preached, but let us not forget to preach the Holy Ghost with power… Power isn't strength of voice... Power is however, understanding and knowledge of the work needing to be done, which is teaching truth in relation to GOD, as well as raising the dead, making the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear and setting the captives free… Is this all metaphor and symbolism? Or perhaps we are simply refusing to die to the flesh, therefore refusing to be aligned with the nature of GOD within us…?

We the people of GOD (the church) go into the highways and hedges compelling others to come in yet we lack the power to heal, not because it's impossible, but because we are not aligned with GOD… and we leave those whom we have compelled, leaning to their own misunderstandings, and seven times worse than we found them.

We must teach by our actions. TEACH THE HOLY GHOST WITH POWER, AND THERE WILL BE NO MISUNDERSTANDING… The modern church world has us ALL blinded, with prosperity ministries. Don't get me wrong, it is GOD's will that we prosper and be in good health, but a one sided ministry of prosperity without health, blinds us and we all fall into the ditch of prosperity without power.

Living in the power and presence of today…
Today I create the life I desire to live…

Today I breathe free, knowing GOD’s mercies are given sufficiently.

Sista Affirmations








The relationship I desire also desires me and as
I manifest the images of its being, its isness,
in my thoughts, my energy, is making the plan and charting the course
leading to him who is, also asking for me.

Hug A Tree

Photo by Shana Brown CityData.com

I did not make it to the park today, so
I travel the tree lined streets of my memory, hugging the biggest oldest tree
I could see, its branches extended twenty-one feet, its height seems to reach all we call heavenly. The bark is cold, and sort of wet, the fragrance makes me think of spinach.
Despite its cold and clammy trunk, I feel the warm vibrations of gentle love, and
I surrender to its majesty.
Nature is an inspiration, for the imagination, and love.

Maintenance Day.. 10/04/2010


Maintenance man came round today…
Changing filters, looking at facets and running water down the drains.
I was dressed like a haggardly old hag;
Corn-rowed plats and spaghetti strapped dress,
I wasn’t trying to look my best, wasn’t expecting any guess.
But the FUNNY THING;
The maintenance man squinted and strained,
“Mhmmmm”, I heard him say…
Walking from room to room,
With clip-board & check list at hand,
He asked if I had any complaints.
Not one as of yet, I said.
Then he noticed my portrait on the wall.
“Ummmmp, Is that you”, he exclaimed”
With a node of my head, I said…
“Clean up well don’t I”…
As he walked away,
The biggest grin, shone upon his face…
“U take care now Ma’am”, he said...
Winking his eye, and closing the door behind…
For shame, for shame, for shame…LOL

‎"It is said man is three things - What he thinks he is, what others think he is and what he really is. Which of these do you believe to be true?"

Art by Lashun Beal "Thought" www.itsablackthang.com


"A Man is who he thinks he is.
Man lives his life, and makes his judgments, according to his thoughts and beliefs of himself.
A Man is also whom others think he is.
However a man is perceived in the mind of another, is exactly who he is, in the mind of that other.
A Man is seldom what he really is. Man is a spiritual being, in a physical body, living in a material world, and usually it takes many years of trial and error before man fully aligns with his spirit man, “GOD”, that is if he ever aligns at all. Once aligned however, with Spirit, GOD, Source, Creator, man is then who he was meant to be."

Sista Quotes

"Growth & Contradiction"

“What man has not, contradicted himself? The man, who remains constant in his understanding of life, is unreasonable. A growing man has to contradict himself many times throughout life, for who knows what experience tomorrow holds, are what understandings of knowledge he will learn? For the conclusions of today, may well become irrelevant tomorrow.”

Running (Sista Thoughts)


Much like running from a dog that’s chasing you,
Running from sin only leaves you tired and exhausted…
It has been my experience, to face the sin, the deed, the action, the thought… and confront it… “What you resist will persist” as they say…
So face and embrace who you are, see yourself (your sin) clearly and forgive yourself. Once you have forgiven yourself, release the sin, the deed, the action, or the thought with love. Now you understand what it is, to be made whole.

Rummaging


Rummaging through the closets of my memory, I found U.
Just like old times, we laughed and smile, and joke for awhile, then the phone rang, and guest what, it was U...

“Worship what you know” … John 4:22


Jesus said,
“And I shall send unto you a comforter”… John 16:7
I am of the opinion, that the comforter whom Jesus sent was, “KNOWING”…
Know the truth, and it will make you free.
The disciples of Jesus believed in him,
Trusted in him, and now upon his death, they had to know he was a man of his word.
That KNOWING, would comfort them in his absence, and in the pursuit of their calling.
Jesus said, “These works I do, you can do also, and greater works than these.
Without KNOWING, there are no works…
This is what I mean when I say, “Believing must graduate to KNOWING”
“Worship what you know” … John 4:22

“If the LORD will’s”


We must stop with the cop-out, of "If the LORD will's".
In interpretation, "If the LORD will's" simply means, if it doesn't happen, it aint my fault,
GOD wasn't ready for me to have it or do it.
Now let the truth be told;
That is not all together correct.
The correct answer is,
You were not ready for that, which you asked,
You doubted its existence,
You had not the patience to watch for its manifestation.
You do not believe, nor truly know, what you ask, "IS"!!!
I was an, “IF”, person before as well... but now I know,
I am that I am, and all things whatsoever I ask knowing, that will I receive.

Sista Affirmations


There are no limitations to my talents and intuitions. My soul quickens me alerting me to move forward or stand still. I am one with my creature, and I shall never be without. As psalms 23 reads, the LORD GOD my Creature, is my Sheppard, and I shall not want. I lie in green pastures, and dwell in a sure and peaceable dwelling place. Abundantly I give, for abundantly I receive, and all my desires find me.

Poem by Bernadette Marie

I would give you
If I could but touch your face in a gentle sweet caress
would you know the purest feeling with my heart put to test?
If I could fashion wings for you that you may be so free
not shackled by the world's demands
of an artist's deepest need....
Everything I would give you love,
a safe fortressed garden
and lodge with which to live
To share with all those close to you....and I'd more to give.
I would give you velvet and yards and yards of brocade
So that you may rest your weary head in a manner for King's be laid.
If my lips could touch yours once
a song from you would tell
that love this true cannot be planned
ah it's been written well....
I long for you to press your face
into my long thick hair perfumed,
and hear your heart betray you
to love me please be doomed.
I would care for your heart like a precious circlet
handed down so long
and love you til you see galaxies
with all its angels thronged...
To Ville who inspires me...♥

TORN


Wishing this were over,
Although it just began,
And I’m wondering why I feel as if, I am the victim.
I’m far from the faithful follower,
Far from the armchair Christian,
Yet the news of this ruse makes me feel used.
Standing in the distance, watching from the shore,
I’m sure those involve feel emotional raped and torn.
Praying for my fellow man…
Wishing this were over,
Although it just began…
Art by Grace Slick:http://www.limelightagency.com/Grace-Slick/artwork-gallery/wonderland/humpty-dumpty.html


Humpty Dumpty Sat on the Wall….
Humpty Dumpty Had a GREAT Fall…

And I heard them say:
Cry loud spare not...
Innocent or Guilt
Don't Refrain
Lessons are to be Gained
Pedestals sometimes Break,
Humpty Dumpty shared this fate
And all the Kings’ men… are subject to Sin.

Sista Affirmations


This journey of conscious creation is the best...
I will no longer pray amiss...
My feelings/emotions are the barometer of what I should hold on to, or discard.
My daily affirmations strengthen my resolve...
I am that I am, and all that I desire to achieve...
I ask with pure intent, knowing all will manifest in perfect timing.
I am grateful for all that now is, and is to come.
AMEN

My Future is Bright & Beautiful and I am Awake

My future is bright and beautiful, and I am awake…

Uhmmm, just a thought...


Me: I tried to recall what I thought before I learned what I now know, but knowing keeps me from retrieving what I formally knew, before this knowing. I know you will understand (MPH)2

(MPH)2: Yeah, actually I do. I wonder if it’s possible to do though, because you can't unlearn so to speak. As they say you can't un-see what has been seen.

Me: Perhaps once the conscious expands, and that which was known, at one level of consciousness, yields to, or surrenders to a new level of conscious-knowing, perhaps then the former knowing,(understanding thought) becomes irretrievable and forgotten; therefore lending to that saying “former thought has passed away, and new thought stands in its place”.
Uhmmm, just a thought…

(MPH)2: I'm pretty sure it’s a good thing in retrospect that we can't go back to a previous, (for lack of better word, at the moment), lesser way of thinking. Because if we could go back, there is also the possibility we could become stuck there. Visualize an old rundown building (old thoughts), you vacate for a new upgraded dwelling, (new thoughts, new perception, new knowing), the old building is no longer safe.
The floors are caving, the roof is collapsing, and God knows what else.
Therefore, it’s more beneficial to keep moving forward, to upgrade from the old to the new... In our thoughts, (as to have a safer and better understanding of the world), it makes sense that we cannot go back, except to reflect on what we have learned; the lessons of the past as they apply in the usage of our new experiences(future), or else our growth was for nothing.

Angel: Knowing what I know makes time now. Knowing what is now, what was (yet is) and what is all a wonderful journey to all that is and will be. Knowing what I know, is what I knew expanded to all I know now. It is a change in consciousness allowing all, which is exciting, knowing what is now what I know. When I know what I know, "when" is now, knowing what I know. (lol lol)

‎(MPH) 2: @angel wow, well said lol...now I ponder do I know enuff?

Angel: ‎@ Michael we are humans becoming...we know all we need to know as knowing is all that is knowing....Simply, you know enough. You need to know that you know. Then you will know that you know all that is now, all that was and is and is, is now.

Me: I have taught you well my two grasshoppers... Now you know what you need to know, to go where you need to go… to find what you need to find to continue your growth. Your knowing is the beginning of a deeper, greater, more expansive understanding of that which you once knew, and have always known, but had to be awakened to.
Now in the awakening of your knowing, and the limitless resources of your creative thoughts, you can and will now appreciate what was meant when Jesus said I and my father are one. Now that you know, you know, you and only you can create the life you desire. For greater is the knowing, understand, and creative ability in you, than that which is in the world… You know?

(MPH) 2: Yeah. I know.

Sista Quotes



Think about it…
Thought is conceived by thought, apprehended by thought, destroyed by thought,
Thought is created, destroyed, and resurrected by thought.
U are your thoughts, and your thoughts are the essence of who U are.
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”… (KJV)

My Thought for the Day Copyright © 2010


Sometimes we stumble;
Sometimes faith is betrayed;
Sometimes the mistakes we make
are the stones it takes, to build a pathway to the person we will be. Remember we are ever becoming.

Wisdom is the prerequisite of perfecting love,
Truth is the prerequisite of revealed wisdom,
If there is no truth, there is no perfecting love.
Seek truth, wisdom and love will follow.

"When I fall, whether I be friend or foe, stretch forth, help me, dust me off, and send me on my way in love." Yes, Love... The action that surpasses all understanding... The force, that creates forgiveness, in the mist of derision. The virtue, that gives all fallen souls the ability to journey on... and to the sender (the forgiver who's been wronged) the ability to heal, and also grow on.

My thought for today is a reflection of something my mother always said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and well meaning people, who never got around to proving the thoughts of their heart". (February 6, 2010)

(February 26, 2010)

To be unpredictable, for some is a challenge of intellect.
To be conventional, for some is deifying creativity.
To be absolutely unique, is a freedom we all seek, at various levels. (February 27, 2010)

We view photo's, we read blogs and status', we agree or disagree, we like or dislike, we study, examine and respond, based on our perceptions of what we believe is communicated and revealed, What you see is not always what you get.
There are times we should use our prudent minds, to take another look, there could be more than what meets the eye.

Selfishness will tax any relationship, and chronic selflessness taxes the individual.
(March 27, 2010)

Many of us read to locate, take note of, or memorize, that which has been taught unto us. Some of us study to gather information of that which is written, and has been taught unto us, with no intention of questioning its validity.
Others of us locate, take note of, memorize, gather information and are able to rightly divide the written and spoken word, which has been taught unto us, and there confirming or denying its validity. Wisdom is seeking beyond what is taught or understood, to affirm truth.
(March 29, 2010)

We are taught in childhood, not to question, our parents, our elders, and those deemed to have religious authority over us... We are not to lean to our own understandings, and if we find ourselves of another opinion, we are told it is the devil. Therefore withstanding our failure, our unwillingness, our fear to question, that which is questionable, we adhere to a belief passed down but never scrutinize by those we looked to for guidance. We pledge servitude to a belief we ourselves struggle to comprehend, and in so doing, we vaguely acknowledge the God-ness, the creative force within ourselves… (Greater is he that is within U than he that is in the world. (The world meaning, outside of U.)
(March 30, 2010)

Misery loves company, and hurt people hurt people. If folks fail to take the time needed to heal, they will always repeat the cycle of pain. I have found love means different things to different folks, so we must find our definition of love, and apply it as we await the arrival of that mate, whom shares the same definition of love as ourselves.
“Can two walk together, except they agree" Amos 3:3

soap & water don't make U clean..

Love at first, second or third sight is possible.
For U determine the love u will give...
U determine the barriers or limitations U will set.
We don't love because we think others will love us,
We love because we so desire to do so,
Despite whether we are loved in return.
Love at first sight simply means I choose to love this person despite their willingness or lack thereof to love me back...
I will love without seeking a return...
I Love u because I can.
(June 28, 2010)

One should not work to maintain faith,
If you’re working, you are working in fear,
For faith and knowing, just is.

Rummaging through the closets of my memory, I found U.
Just like old times, we laughed and smile, and joke for awhile, then the phone rang, and guest what, it was U... (September 29, 2010)
