I don't know!!!!!

I don't know a damn thing. I mean I know what we have agreed up on; like my name, days of the week, numbers we use, stores and our choice of language. but yo what do I really know?

I mean I love to stare at the clouds and just wonder, wondering is all I am capable of, I ask a barrage of questions with an empty template because the answers are not so discerning. The more I ask, the more I wonder, the more I wonder the more I am humbled, the more I am humbled the more I grow, as much as I grow, man I still don't know.

Like a bird with beautiful bright strong wings. The discovery channel might provide insight on observations made of birds or perceived notions and habits, but as far as I 'know' birds don't speak any of our languages. How the $%*# do we know what birds or animals think? I do know that I like to look, that there is something so wonderful and so free about the way they peruse the sky, their seemingly simple communication among one another, and it is so apparent that birds ain't focused on what we think; not caring about what we 'know'.

Imagine humans as birds, aware that we can soar to new fantastic heights, bound together by unions and only separated by predators who rightfully take their place in the circle of life. Imagine when you spread your wings that you felt free, free from worries, stress, and judgement. Aware that life will end, but more cognizant and appreciative of the moment.

I imagine what it would be like if fish had wings, politicians had hearts, the rich were selfless, and the greedy played bingo. You may ask what does this mean? Where am I trying to go?
Yo, I know where I've been, but in terms of where I'm going, shoot not even I know.

The say religion is the field of unquestioned answers, well I'm looking at those unanswered questions, pondering the concepts of language, love , minutes and seconds. At the best I am just guessing, seeing where it goes.

But I really don't know!

O snap

sometimes it is something small

who feels inferior the smallest of small or tallest of tall?

regardless of stature, inevitably we all fall

standing the test that we all fail

time is an uphill scale

seems only the winds prevail

but it ain't even that bad because it provides purpose

soon as we look beyond the surface

look within , "o snap", I'm gorgeous

and we don't need rovers or porches

but its cool if those are the horses within your fortress

just know it won't last

don't trip of what you think you have

really cherish them laughs

and all those moments when you forced to say

O SNAP!

Sunday

I open my eyes because the sun persuaded me to

noticed the sun was still out, so I smiled at her because she's so cool

I can feel the steady movements of the tree's branches

caressing my skin and releasing all my worries

love waking up early but to get out of my bed right now; I ain't in a hurry

Sunday is the beginning of the week, not the end of the weekend

then again it is your world so it can be what you want,

it is a glorious day for me, not one that haunts

imagine you could just hover over the sea, or peruse the city from a birds eye view,

what if I spent a day as someone else, what if I was you?

I'm sure it might realign our ideas of 'cool'

do you perceive this tone as deep or merely substantial

elements of the Afrocentric and far from egocentric; I'm just trying to get your spirit on some plyometrics

so that your mind can deal with that next shit, when stress attacks and your idle state becomes restless,

can't cash it at Oliver's jewellery so you might not see the light but I assure you it outshines any necklace

Man...... this world can't even hold me because I'm in it not of it, physically, of it I am a product

whats Troy talking about? here comes the gossip, if he not of this world how is he so conscious?

just stay with me, don't get lost, reflect on our friend Tony Danza, ask yourself

Who's the boss?

Don't worry about payday, or your financial delay, any issue can always parlay, make comfort where ever you stay, say all the things you wanted to say, and live it up cuz shooooooooot

it's Sunday

circulate

kiss the ones close to you

remember you don't have to say yes if you don't want to

reciprocity is the kyrptonite of our economy but it is essential to our harmony

pass others and say hi, I opt for the word peace rather than bye

either way you look at it your boy stays high, makes sense since I dwell in the truth and long for the sky

not here to give up, authentic from the toes up, on the next occasion don't say not much

because now you know whats up

pick two

whats up people? I hope everyone is doing well, and feeling better.

pardon the lose based punctuation as this is an unconventional atmosphere and aura

the thought for today is very simple, pick two of your beliefs. after picking these two beliefs, I want you to put doubt into them, do not invest any faith into those beliefs just for one day. the point of this is to see how much value your beliefs hold. your day will definitely be affected by your lack of belief, however you must be able to see if your day is affected in a good way. it is quite possible that after doing this, you will see that some of your beliefs only hold merit due to the faith you invest in them. start to see whether your beliefs or the truth is more prevalent, and be able to differentiate! just a thought y'all

holla

I got you

Whats up y'all, let me just take this time out to tell you I appreciate you, I love you, and you're beautiful! Don't ever think different.

Now for today's events, I want you to take these words in please and directly apply them to this moment in your life.

Stop moving please

stop thinking

just allow yourself to look around you and be comfortable in your surroundings

let your fingers touch

slowly run your hands through your hair, rub your shoulders, embrace yourself

inhale very deeply, exhale just as deeply

repeat this for the next twenty seconds

please just focus on your breathing

understand that you can always slow down your world by slowing down your breaths

inhale deeply, exhale deeply

allow yourself to connect with your heartbeat

inhale, exhale

listen to the natural vibrations of your conscience and soul

inhale and exhale

No matter what, I repeat no matter what your breathing is the most important. Some may argue it is your health, spouse, kids, finances, insurance, but nothing matters if you cannot breathe. Always take time to center yourself, and allow yourself to breathe under control. What we all just did was recognize the truth, which is you, us, me. We are life, we are the truth. All the external forces and outside distractions are secondary focuses, you must be at one with yourself before you can go out into the world without fear. Nothing in this world is as important as your breathing and inner peace.

I told you I got you ;)

Holla

I dare you

I dare you

to explore the perils of your mind, count the loves of your life, share your good with strangers, tell the truth even when it hurts

I dare you

to help someone who cannot help you, to do as you feel and not as you know, take a drive or a walk with no destination and no timeline,

I dare you

to act impulsively, reflect rationally, prognosticate in foudroyant fashion, be louder than loud and stiller than still, faster than fast and quieter than quiet

I dare you

to pick truth over dare, to live as you were and of worries have no care, focus on gettin with this instead of wandering over there,

say you ain't scared, then rid yourself of all stress if you dare . . .

Whats up?

When I write these posts my intention is to make everyone think, to open minds, to challenge beliefs and inspire individuality. Actions with consequences and freedom without punishment. The ability to literally mould our lives is what I am trying to project. However, me writing or thinking this does not make it true. Nothing can make anything true other than the truth itself. So as you read, decipher and analyse, consider whether what is written is true. If that still does not work, stop thinking and just see the truth; which is undeniable.

Do you see all that I am?

The mirror merely shows a reflection, as observing with the eyes defers to perception.

Have you accepted the infinite source of your being?

Constant streams, rivers, ponds, oceans and lakes of water; never reduced never compromised. Funny how we can rationalize paying for water, yet we can't gather it's omnipotent renewable nature.

Will you accept life on Earth as temporary?

While most try to evade death, few express gratitude and truly enjoy life. To evolve is to grow, celebrating birthdays we get old- or older. Seems like the faster time flies by the more we live slower. No longer in fear of the end but simply aware that it is not over.

Be like the wind

Be like the wind, steady and free

Be like the ocean, strong and united

Be like the sun, bright and generous                                   

Be like a tree, deep rooted and still

Be like a baby, fearless and non judgemental

Be like a tiger in the jungle, in your element

Be like Mickey and Minnie, full of magic

Be like the real you, not what they say is real

Be like the infinite you, not the one guarded by age                            

Be like the obvious, because you are the truth

Be like you were; even before you was . . .

No matter where you're at, how they talk or what it do, just remember

Be like you

what the move is?

This is a little something I wrote a few months ago. I found it appropriate to pull back up now. Check it out, hope you enjoy. One love


What The Move Is?




rules, rights and regulations are still unable to delegate the heart and it’s fate



so what do we do, who do we ask, when should we wait, are we supposed to go



questions are proposed, the answers are irrelevant, agree or not, these are simply my thoughts



we agree on standards like math, words, and laws, if we all stopped believing would they still exist?



is it really twelve thirty, if we all got rid of our clocks and watches what ‘time’ would it be



ain’t nothin’ guaranteed but death, is that a bad thing?



no one knows what happens when the heart stops beating, folks don’t know what happens tomorrow either yet we still yearn to see it





so you tell whose to blame, whats cool and whats lame, we in the right lane, mind of frame or frame of mind



mix the words and concepts and see who accepts what



got your mind speculating, neurological stimulus, metaphysical hypnosis, just remember who wrote this



thoughts more evoking than Leviticus



I’m jus ’sayin’ . . . .



el



oh

salutations

when shit hits the fan

You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you. - Mary Tyler Moore

I find such simplistic beauty in this quote, the essence of bravery stems from situations of discomfort and challenge.  Embracing the moment while enduring through trying times allows you to gain strength and courage. Without struggle there is no progress, those are the words of Frederick Douglass, which depict progress through perseverance. You must climb up the mountain to be able to enjoy the view from the top.



when shit hits the fan


When shit hits the fan how will you react?

When you can't dictate the flow, can you remain calm ?

Maybe sooner or later you will just explode, lose control, tear through your soul.

When you plan a lovely day and them clouds ain't cooperating, hoped for the best but the odds are not too accommodating, they tell you soon but you're just about tired of waiting, you've taken as much as you can; when shit hits the fan.

Can you see through the turbulent perils of tonight's overcast and allude to the glorious pastures of tomorrow?

Does fear strike a heightened awareness in you? An awareness that will be used in a proactive measure to negate further recurrences.

Are you a warrior with stories engraved through thy heart and body, a forever evolving being able to adapt to a multitude of situations, able to recognize the survival capabilities of every woman and man?

What you like . . .  when shit hits the fan?

smiles

They say a picture is a worth a thousand words, if thats what they say then I say a smile is worth a million words. You'll be hard pressed to find something more satisfying than a sincere smile. There may be other things that are gratifying for a short period of time, but the consistency and continuity of a smile is really unrivaled. I know we have our share of obstacles to overcome daily, but have you ever tallied the obstacles and compared them to your smiles per day, week, month? Most people probably don't. Humans have an uncany ability to deduce even the smallest of information, subsequently all of our positives get reduced to negatives in the process. This is where we must educate ourselves on being consciously competent. Smiling requires very little effort. It takes a whole lot for me to be angry and yelling, almost anything can make me smile and laugh however. Happiness is a choice, hence making laughter an action. You know how the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Lol

Holla

Just Thinkin

Just chillin in my room, thoughts that come to the mind, no blueprint but cognitively intertwined. . .

Why are we predisposed to captivity?
tell me that I'm crazy because . . .I'm an eighties baby,
and I've seen the drug pandemic go crazy,
and institutions keep killing babies.

If our health insurance is so feasible,
then why is car insurance so dang lethal?
Pay to drive, pay to own, pay to park
pay for birth, pay for death, pay straight from the start.
Now they saying if you need one, couple hundred thou for a heart?
Man that sounds silly, wack, dumb, like an earring on a thumb; and on top of that OHIP only covers
some.

Where are the days of global liberty and prejudicial ambiguity?

Michael told me to make this a better place for you and me.
I'm paying my taxes but the homeless still can't eat.

The cold loneliness of the street, the strong emerge from when they were once

weak.

Tragic news accentuated for prime time.

When the lights go, whose giving out life lines?

It might seem like complaining, but I'm merely illustrating

non fiction to the vilest depiction.

In the still of the night you can hear the children, just listen.

After the souls of lost ones, do you miss them?

Like I said before these are my thoughts; I'm just thinking.

That Bob Marley Love

Rest in Peace to Bob Marley.

In honor of Bob and all those who have moved on from Earth, let us rejoice today and have the time of our lives. What better moment to have the most fun you can than the present?
I'm not even gonna say too much on this post, just take in this song and listen to my man Bob. Have a blessed day.

It's that time people . . .
The grind of the work week is nearing, weekend plans are formulating, the snooze button on you're alarm will get a break, possibly pay day or a week closer to getting paid, and it is so hot outside that you can leave two eggs, some bread and a chicken outside for a few minutes and comeback to a grandslam breakfast! lol
Come on y'all it's FRIDAY. Let's just take the time to enjoy the day, appreciate it, and give yourself some love for another week of perseverance. Let your hair down, brush it if you have waves lol, kick back with your peeps, a drink of choice, get into your vice, and live it up! After all, why else do we work so dang hard?

Holla

Make em' smile

Whats up peeps?

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful day, the weather is off the chains!!!


How many of us have had the opportunity to interact with a baby? If you have, you might have noticed that when you smile and make funny faces at babies they return the gesture with smiles and laughter. This is not a coincidence, this is a biological reaction to the positive emissions being spread from your mind and body to theirs. It's crazy cool that we apply such schematics for interacting with babies, for some reason we don't necessarily do the same for interacting with adults. Don't get it twisted, I am not suggesting that you make baby faces at your employer or other adults with whom you come in contact with, but a smile definitely wouldn't hurt. Send notions of love to everyone you interact with, not for them alone but for yourself. Love yourself, and if such is the case then you should only spread love; because that is all there is. One love
:D

challenge yourself

You know ironically enough we as humans are filled with immense potential, but we continually doubt ourselves. Doubt may run through us as a reference check, something to help us validate questions and obscurities. The doubt however, should never over rule your inner confidence. So I challenge you today, to take on a task you previously felt was beyond you. It can be mad simple, for me I am going to make sure I eat breakfast. As funny as it may seem, that is a serious challenge for me. I leave you with a message from my homeboy Albert Einstein who believed " Insanity is defined as doing the same thing yet expecting different results."

Enjoy your gift of 24 hrs of endless opportunity

Holla!

perfection

My man Bob Marley had an infamous line " to be pursued, but never attained"

This line is in reference to perfection. Many of us set unrealistic standards for ourself and everyone around us. We must not become complacent, however we must also see the beauty in everything because if you only always strive for better then you will never arrive at the best ;)

holla!

thought for the day

check this out . . . . .in years to come we will regret the things we were too afraid to do more than we will lament over our mistakes and perceived failures. Make the most of today and smile until them cheek bones start hurting....holla!
