“Balance(ing) Act”

He shivers and he shakes, as he stands on stage; hair being flung in every direction, with a look resting upon his face; reminiscent of Jack Nicholson.  “What the F*CK is wrong with this country – aren’t there like 50 OTHER THINGS, prior to this one, miniscule issue, that we need to give IMMEDIATE ATTENTION to?!!!!!!”  The comedian was then being interviewed by CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper, as they both chuckled about the comedians short clipped being played.  Such poignancy,” Anderson Cooper remarks about the gentleman’s profound stance on same-sex marriages, the ignorance and bigotry behind it all, not to mention to financial loophole.

The muscles in my stomach tightened, my body filled with joy and laughter, as I felt the rush and comfort of an actual human being actually speaking from the gut, with information that I hold dear to my Heart.

Just a few days ago, President Barack Obama come out in support of Same-Sex Marriages, spoke to the importance of equality; especially given these troubled times.  Watching the demeanor of President Obama while he looked directly into the camera lens, speaking clearly and concisely, regarding some of his very own staff, involved in same-sex marriages, raising children.  Mr. Obama also spoke to thoughts of his beautiful little girls, and how he would react if they had to endure even an iota of mistreatment that gays and lesbians have endured for far too long.

To see the President of the United States of America, not to mention, my brother; an African American man, of EXTREMELY HIGH CALIBER, speak to the positive, RAW TRUTH about an issue that has ruined this nations, on many fronts, rejuvenated my Spirit in ways in which words are unable to convey.  To witness his poise, knowing that this could create a major backlash with the very people who once strongly supported him, the ignorant whispers, the unknown, brought a sense of ultimate Peace and for once, just one, it felt as though this one motion on his behalf, ignited IMMEDIATE CHANGE, on a level in which will allow our youth to lead more productive Lives, without having to cower, walk dark paths; leading to their ultimate demise.  WE NEEDED THIS POWERFUL STANCE TO BE TAKEN.

Sometimes, even in the face of pain, jealousy, heartache; the unknown, we are OBLIGATED to take the appropriate stance.  No matter what “humans” say;’ how they behave, the Truth resides within.  There is no other way; only the Spirit way.

Thank You, Mr. President Barack Obama, from the very bottom of my Spirit.  May the Holy Spirit keep his/her Ever-Loving arms around you, your Family; your Staff.

In Peace, Love and Light.  Continue on…….

What If?…….

 

Speculation; the Mother of ALL evil. Go forth…….with the Truth!  Speak to what “IS,” NOT what we desire.  Deal with facts and limit the emotions…….Will make for less nonsense in this place we call Life.

Ruin(s)…On We Go

Urges, yearning, vision, wishing, fatigue, desire, anticipation, pondering, wondering, hoping, praying, falling, rising…….all contributions to the blood/Life Cycle.

So much happening within the blink of an eye, yet, standing still has made the vision extremely sharp, on point and ruthless.

Humans slithering around the circle to sneak their way “IN,” with deception, lies, misleading/empty promises, false individuals fall away like dead skin off of the hoof.  The pain associated with realizing many Truths after time spent.  Living this California Life and the realities associated with it, making sure NOT to grow old and bitter to the “ways,” as this may be witnessed by these gentle eyes, more often than not, THIS IS NOT REALITY; it is simply the ignorance and fear of mankind…….

Anyhow, it’s best to acknowledge and embrace these harsh realities, as opposed to gassing up self.  It was once said that the best, the leaders, stand alone and with each day, it is felt, more and more.

This is what was asked for and it is now appearing; slowly and surely, after much manifestation.  Have a team, go it alone, wait, or, Stand…….Still?

This is what I do; Awareness is the alias.

“2 Words (To Live By…)”

Two words we could all hear and “receive,” today, would be: “Slow Down.”  This especially applies to me.  Are we really almost into the third month of this New Year?  Damn, its uncanny just how fast things are moving, or, maybe this is my perception.

It was once stated that when we continually push and push and push, with trying to make either a specific thing, or many things happen, we almost defeat the purpose; almost like getting in the way of the Earth doing its part in solidifying all that we’ve manifested.  Something to ponder…….

Driving ones’ self to exhaustion, which has been the case this week, is healthy in no way, yet, it provides a much needed sense of accomplishment.  In this day and age, these times we are living in; staying busy, not allowing for any idle time will determine our path; TRULY.

Maybe a bit of house cleaning is in order?  Does anyone know what this refers to?……………Get rid of the “JUNK/FLUFF”  Junk/fluff does not necessarily refer to material items………

Lying here with eyes closed, various visions, no fear, yet, proceeding with caution.  What’s next?  What is up ahead?  What, what, what, when, where, how, why?  All of these questions, so little time to think, so little time to act.

Time to let go a bit, yeah?  Time to exercise more Faith and allow room for the Spirit, the Earth to do what they do best…………..

“Thoughts.”

It’s never enough to be “present.”  Just like it’s never enough to be “involved.”  Whatever we’re “doing,” is really about where we are at “present.”  Do what “YOU” do at the “moment” for “such…….”  Expecting another to gather the energy is next to blasphemy…….Keep flowing.

First impressions, second hopes…….

“Sleep”

The things that mean the most to our Spirit, our Heart, are never really meant to be shared in their entirety.  If this action took place at any given moment, or even sporadically, then…….our most vulnerable state, place, being will not only be compromised, yet, exposed and jeopardized, due to a “pseudo, co-dependent nature,” unbeknownst to self, or, however we choose to refer to it.  Nonetheless, it doesn’t add up to take such an action, in the mind, body, or Spirit, on any given day, OR, any given basis.

The search for what is real is sustainable.  Worldly things can and will always be replaced, replenished, refurbished and inevitably, forgotten.

DON’T SLEEP!

“A Fresh, New Step, in the RIGHT Direction (Lunge Forth)”

When we lunge forth, take on new thoughts, move our bodies in a foreign/new direction, we are in a position to allow “fear,”  or the unknown to take control, or, we can be still, “listen” to our Spirit/Heart and put Faith in the fact that our Heart can and will never lead us astray.

The mere thought of doing something new and different is so exciting and can also drive us nutty!  A smile graces my faces as I enter this post, thinking of how far along this path I’ve come and just what lye ahead makes the body tingle all over.

While listening to a Meditation CD given as a gift, from a very good friend, confirmation continues to come from ALL directions.  The words from the woman’s soft voice: “I can choose to hold on to negative thinking/thoughts….; I can remove myself from negative situations, yet, “view” them, as a method of learning, yet, remove the “emotion” from it.  This type of thinking/reality is so very powerful, so very real and so necessary, especially in this day and age we are Living.

Pain in the hearts of many; turmoil inside the homes of most; misery resting at the core of our beautiful nation.  The notion that we WILL bounce back and come back stronger than ever is the size of a mustard seed at this particular juncture, yet, collectively, as we all begin to think and “move” in such a direction, things will begin to take shape.

“Wherewithal”

An understanding that with Life, comes a multitude of peaks and valleys.  It’s the times when we are in the valley, where we are “supposed” to learn, grow and elevate; turn the pain/wounds into opportunity, as well as a beautiful reality for self and those around us.

Swift thinking, planning and staying on top of ones’ game is essential in these fast-paced, uncertain times.

Be good to yourself.  Make time to relax, ponder and Love.

Great weekend to all.

Until next time…….

“Peace (1/1/2012 – Happy New Year!)”

New Years eve, sitting in a quiet, relaxed, yet, foreign environment.  As sleep sets in, the dawn of a New day is present and that day is the initiation of a New day, a New Year.  WOW!  Is it really 2012?  And where exactly did 2011 go?  Nevertheless, the sporadic, strange, pulling energy of 2011 was not enough to make me lose stride  Yet, the struggles and happiness mixed together are enough to let me know that a corner has definitely has been turned……..FOR GOOD.

The sun is fully erect, shining through the window, as I prepare myself to venture down a new path, on this very bright, sunny, crisp day, of the New Year.

Sending prayers out to those hurting, suffering, hungry, frustrated, confused, happy, sad, in between, lost, found, thrilled and those who have conquered emotions and are wise enough to allow things to be what they are and to manifest what it is they wish to be and be involved in and with.

Anytime we can rise to a new day, see the sun shine, breathe and smile at self in the mirror, in spite of it all, is a wonderful day!

Through ALL the recent happenings throughout the world, with this downtrodden economy and the like, I feel within my Spirit that things are on the mend.  They have to be.  This New Year will afford me the opportunity to put forth many new types of works, that of which are significantly different that my original works.  Taking pause, as I have for the duration of 2011 afforded the opportunity to gather thoughts, reflect upon others, those around me, my heart, Spirit, desires that are most important, pondering upon where I am and where I would like to be.

Time to get back to traditional, yet, unconventional ways.  I’m ready.  Are you?  Time is flying by…….literally.  There is no more time to waste, especially on those who “talk” a good game.  The last day of the year, I was faced with involving myself with something that I am totally against, yet, when your back is against the wall, sometimes, the only way to grow is to look the devil in the face, Man up, state your case and keep moving, at an inexplicable pace.

Thankful to possess my wits and to be Blessed to still be pounding this pavement, with heart in hand.

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!  Let’s get this New Year off to a profound beginning!  What we do now will entail the course.  Peace will always be chosen within this heart, no matter how much the negative Spirit tests me…….

Make this a Lovely day!

Continued Peace, Love and Light.
