Thanks for stopping by, hope your stay is such that you return. Praised be the aims of Life: Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice. I salute the sages of old and extend honor where honor is due. I come to conclusions through reasoning, without consideration for traditions or established beliefs. I am still learning, growing, reaching, consistent, spontaneous, and down for redistributing the wealth. I am not out to change the world, nor am I my mistakes and shortcomings - my past is simply a period from which I learned. I give thanks all through the day.

My Sister, My Lover, My Woman, My Friend...
I stand ready to honor you
And give voice to what you truly are -
the envy of those lacking your style,
intelligence, grace, strength, endurance, capacity, abilities, warmth and timelessness...
The goddess whose beauty and flair has been an object
of men desire since time began.
Mother of the Earth!
It is from you all things flow.
Even now when all about is crumbling
You stand like the soldier you had to become
engaging the wars, battles, struggles, setbacks
interrupted only by the occassional victory.
Yet you remain assured, certain, and steadfast..
You are the living embodiment...

HOLY INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PROPHET: INCONSTANCY
1. Nature urgeth thee to inconstancy, O man! Therefore guard thyself at all times against, it.
2. Thou art, from the womb of thy mother, various and wavering, from the loins of thy father inheriteth thou instability. How then shalt thou be firm?
3. Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee a soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise, be wise and thou art happy.
4. Let him who doeth well, beware how he boasteth of it, for rarely is it of his own will.
5. Is not the event of an impulse, from without born of uncertainty enforced by accident,dependent on somewhat else? To thee, and to accident, is due the praise.
6. Beware of irresolution in the intent of thy actions; beware of instability in the execution, so shalt thou triumph over two great failings of thy nature.
7. What reproacheth reason more than to act contrarieties? What can suppress the tendencies to these, but firmness of mind?
8. The inconstant feeleth that he changeth, but he knoweth not why; he seeth that he escapeth from himself, but he perceiveth not how. Be thou incapable of change, in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee.
9. Establish unto thyself principles of action, and see that thou ever act according to them.
10. So shall thy passions have no rule over thee; so shall thy constancy ensure unto thee the good thou possesseth, and drive from thy door misfortune. Anxiety and disappointment shall be strangers to thy gates.
11. Suspect not evil in anyone until thou seeth it; when thou seeth, forget it not.
12. Who so hath been an enemy cannot be a friend; for man mendeth not his faullts.
13. How should his actions be right, who hath no rule of his life? Nothing can be just which proceedeth not from reason.
14. The inconstant hath no peace in his soul; neither can be at ease whom he concerneth himself with.
15. His life is unequal; his motions are irregular; his soul changeth with the weather.
16. Today he loveth thee, tomorrow thou art detested by him; and why? Himself knoweth not wherefore he now hateth.
17. Today he is the tyrant, tomorrow thy servant is less humble; and why? He who is arrogant without power, will be servile while there is no subjection.
18. Today he is profuse, tomorrow he grudgeth unto his mouth that which it should eat. Thus it is with him who knoweth not moderation.
19. Who shall say of the camelion: "He is black," when, the moment after the verdure of the grass, overspreadeth him.
20. Who shall say of the inconstant: "He is joyful," when his next breath shall be spent in sighing?
21. What is the life of such a man, but the phantom of a dream? In the morning he riseth happy, at noon he is on the rack; this hour he is a god, the next below a worm; one moment he laugheth, the next he weepeth; he now willeth, in an instant he willeth not, and in another he knoweth not whether he willeth or not.
22. Yet neither ease nor pain have fixed themselves on him; neither is he waxed greater, or become less; neither hath he had cause for laughter, or reason for his sorrow; therefore shall none of them abide with him.
23. The happiness of the inconstant is as a palace built on the surface of the sand; the blowing of the wind carrieth away its foundation; what wonder then that it falleth?
24. But what exalted form is this, that hitherward directs its even, its uninterrupted course - whose foot is on earth, whose head is above the clouds?
25. On his brow sitteth majesty; steadiness is in his port; and in his heart reigneth tranquility.
26. Though obstacles appear in his way, he deigneth not to look down upon them; though heaven and earth oppose his passage; he proceedeth.
27. The mountains sink beneath his tread; the waters of the ocean are dried up under the sole of his foot.
28. The tiger throweth herself across his way in vain; the spots of the leopard glow against him unregarded.
29. He marcheth through the embattled legions; with his hands he putteth aside the terrors of death.
30. Storms roar against his shoulders, but are not able to shake them; the thunder bursteth over his head in vain; the lightning serveth but to show the glories of his contenance.
31. His name is Resolution! He cometh from the utmost part of the earth; he seeth happiness afar off before him; his eye discovereth her temple beyond the limits of the pole.
32. He walketh up to it, he entereth boldly, and he remaineth there forever.
33. Establish thy heart, o man, in that which is right; and then know, the greatest of human is to be immutable.

"Black Woman"
(INNER hue)

She is Goddess...
She is the exhalation of infinite possibilities and
the inhalation of eternal potential for creative expressions.
She is fulfilled visions of perfection-perfected
and the saturation of passions yearned for
in celestial dreams.
She is the pride and glory
of a Master Architect.
She is the rhythms of long forgotten,
yet spiritually remembered,love songs
sung through the lips of Mother Nature's divine presence.
She is complete
and nothing less than the theories of Heaven
proven true.
She is wife, friend, soul-twin
and titles too numerous to name.
She is God's complimentary duality in Nature,
yet the One in purest essence.
She is scriptures personified,
ancient teachings exemplified
and prophecies perpetually fulfilled...
and yet, for her magnificences
she is still ignorantly crucified.
She is the determination in passionate hands
beating upon my eardrums
and the footprints in life that lead to somewhere.
She is me reflected
and she is the guide unto my higher-self.
She is unconditional love and Utopia served chilled over crushed ice
on a hot day.
She is the blessings behind an honest laugh and the comfort
behind secret tears that men hide.
She is my favorite poem
in motion...
My favorite word. My favorite vision.
My favorite scent, taste and sound.
She is my favorite song and the lyrics thereof.
She is she in whom, in front of, I can stand
naked
and feel more clothed than if draped in jeweled garments
She is more than has ever been written of
as ink has its limits...
Yet she does not.
She is nurturing fingerprints on the soul and honeymoon kisses on the spirit.
She is a splash of pure wate
served inside a glass of crystallised orgasms.
She is truth, honor
respect, admiration,
strength, refinement,
loyalty, breathtaking
and eternal things more.
She is exactly who she is
and that's enough...
overdose on that!
