FORGIVEN AND EXCUSED-
No, I forthwith forgiven you as I held the door open to my heart you ripped up
My arms and hands released you from the embracement
For thou I have so forgiven you for what I’ve done and we do
In the truth of the matters we are both sadden by the view
Of the empty room one entering

FAIRY TALE LIVES
For me…when times are rough…I think back to Fairy Tales….
How evil wins its share of battles…but in the end…how good prevails.
Whenever I fight evil…sometimes I lose…sometimes I win…
and oftentimes I’m in need of mending….
but I truly believe for every Once Upon a Time
there should be a happy ending.
I also know life in not always

CAROL, MAYA, EMILY AND JANE
Last night I heard Jane Goodall tell the story of her life of 90 years.
She spoke a lot about her mother…and of her own wishes, dreams and fears.
She spoke about her chimpanzees and their world which she loves living in.
How her mother taught her to judge people by what they do…and not by the color

JUNKS
Junks acting superior
When dem and em niggas
Be doing their things; we
don't envy, jealous, attack
Don't take without

Not taking forcefully our education.
But when it's ours
Dem start creating
The movie we the villains
They the right and nice ones
Em niggas wanna boss up
over us, so

EVERYDAY FOR THE THIEF, A DAY FOR THE GARDNER
If you think you can fight Christ
Now walk and work on your own light
Or dark without any support, religion
Without hurting any or otherwise.
Know your mind not the matter
weigh your heart not the weight
Tend your own garden thriving
With integrity not with alliance
For manipulation but elevation.
When you wanna make a prey

GNRT DAY 29 DEVIL'S ISLAND AND SIGNS
Today we took a cruise to Devil’s island where the strong Lake Superior waves
from years of crashing on its rocks have created these beautiful caves.
The thunderous booms the waves made as they hit the rocks
led the Chippewa who lived there to proclaim:
This land on which we stand….Devil’s Island is its name.
In every state, city and

Transient Pastures
"As furry as sheep’s clothing;
It’s thick, fluffy, and profuse.
As timid as a white woolly.
I think it all fits you.
The greener the pasture,
The greener the opportunities await.
But friends don’t compete for one blade of grass,
For meadows are as vast as fates.
As evergreen as mountains,
Beautiful friendships grow eternal.
But there are leaves that

MY HEART WITHOUT YOU
MY HEART WITHOUT YOU .......
YOUR LONG HAIR STILL LINGERS UPON MY COLD FACE
TOUCHING MY FINGERS SKIN AND SOULS
CANNOT FORGET YOUR OPEN HAIR ON MY MIRRORS FRONT
FORMING THE MOST STUNNING PORTRAIT
THE ODOUR OF ATTIRE ON MY ROOM
ROAMS IN STILL AIR OF MY ROOM
TELLING ME TO CALL YOU AGAIN
TELLING ME TO MEET YOU

THANKFUL FOR DONUTS
If we believe life is a circle
where the end of one journey
is the beginning of the next
Today I’m thankful for donuts
because…
Nothing epitomizes that belief
more than a donut does

THANKFUL FOR THE SEA
Today I’m thankful for the sea…
When you first experience it…
no matter where you are..or when…
once you’ve looked out on the ocean
and been mesmerized by her tides
you’ll never be the same again

THE GIFT OF AN OPEN MIND
I believe we’ve all been blessed to be created with an open mind
I imagine with this gift our creators were particularly elated…
as it allows us to be open to the variety of wonders…of all the love and beauty they created.
I imagine it never entered into our creators thinking…
that they never would have supposed….
how the open
