Endurance is a character trait
Held by those whose vision
Surpasses the here and now
Yet they stay present
In tune
Ears to the ground
Chess vs checkers
Long game vs short
Knowing that some view
This life as sport
While others know this is spirit
Practice
Warrior rehearsal
Mindfulness training
Endurance is a character trait
Held by those whose vision
Surpasses the here and now
Yet they stay present
In tune
Ears to the ground

The ?S

What if Get Out was a warning?
What if the proposed wall is designed to keep us in?
What if we've already encountered aliens?
What if there were no borders?
What would happen if black folks got reparations?
What if we're already living in the past and the future was yesterday?
What if Prince didn't die?
If music brings peace and happiness, why don't more people get along?
What if we actually vibrated at the same frequency?
What if all the questions were answered?
Would there still be more ?s

Haven't written in awhile
Don't know why I wait so long
When April comes, poetry is strong
So much going on, in life
There's plenty to write about
Never wanted to stick out
Played the background
Thought that was where I belonged
I too have a story to tell
Each day, this April, maybe you'll
Get to know me well
Maybe you'll see the light in me
Finally shining from all the darkness
Maybe you'll relate to my story
Maybe you'll want to share
There's a testimony in these words
I hope you wish me well

9/30 - Tipping Point

They say, opinions are like azzholes ... everybody's got one

Well, 

Everyone has a heart too

Everyone has the ability to be compassionate

Everyone has a brain, filled with thoughts ... good and bad

Just imagine if everyone used their powers for good

For the good of everyone else

Some would say, that's a very utopic idea.

And then there would be the ones that say, where's the balance if everyone is doing good for everyone else.

Imagine that. Where's the balance in the bad? In judging? In not being a humanitarian? In not being empathetic? Huh

Does your heart feel
Does your heart feel
Does your heart feel ...

heavier or lighter on your scale?

What's the tipping point?

Peace
