 Ekaabo!  

 Oh and  thanks for visiting my page!

There is no formula to prayer; we pray from our hearts   We talk with our ancestors as we do with those among us who are physically present.  We ask them to work on our behalf in the world of Spirit.  The most important way we honor our ancestors is how we live; they are always watching us.  Sometimes our ancestors come to live among us, to help us through our children.  The ways our children look or act reveal to us

Sometimes we share information with friends, who we think have our best interest at heart, instead we screw ourselves up by doing so because those very same friends don’t give a damn about what you think!   It’s all about what they can get out of you or from you! So instead of blabbing your ideas and plans maybe its time to keep the mouth shut and be silent. A good hunter never makes a sound….. Ochoosi and Ogun they never made a sound when they hunted.  So be silent, be still and let your blessings flow.

Orisa Eshu Elegba

The Lord of the Crossroads

Iwo ni Iko Olodumare ati Orisha ati Egun.
Iwo ni Oluwa Awo Erin Ona; ariwa, gusu, ila orun, iwo orun.
Iwo ni Olupamo Ase Orisha.
Iwo ni Oluso Enu Abafu, Rere ati Buburu.
Iwo ni Oluwa Ilo.
Iwo ni Oluwa Yiyan, Esi, ati Iparo.

I humble myself before the mysteries of Eshu-Elegba.
You are the Messenger of Olodumare and Orisha and the Ancestors.
You are the Owner of the Mysteries of the Four Directions, north, south, east, and west.
You are the Keeper of the Ase of the Orisha.
You are the Guardian of the Gates of Fortune, Good and Evil.
You are the Lord of Flexibility.
You are the Lord of Choice, Chance, and Change.

Sweetwaters

Oshun is brass and parrot
feathers in a velvet skin.
Oshun is white cowrie
shells on black buttocks.
Her eyes sparkle in the forest,
like sun on the river.
She is the wisdom of the forest
She is the wisdom of the river.
Where doctors fail,
she cures with fresh water.
Where medicine fails,
she cures with fresh water.
She feeds the barren woman
with honey, and her dry body
swells up like a juicy coconut.
Oh, how sweet, how sweet
is the touch of a child’s hand.
-Yoruban chant to Oshun

Every  human being has a twin soul,  or "beloved."  Although we may enjoy the support and love of many soul mates throughout our lives, the beloved creates the potential for indescribable harmony and perfect fusion.

Twin Souls recognize each other with absolute certainty and can never truly leave one another.

When the spirit, body and mind are ready, the spiritual partner will appear.

I gather up

each sound

you left behind

and stretch them

on our bed.

each nite

I breathe you

and become high.

Sonia Sanchez

Loving Again

Last night
we loved as if the gods
had announced only to us
that the sky would fall while we slept.

We loved
passionately
selflessly
thinking only of pleasure
giving pleasure,

and I knew I would not grieve
if life should end as you held me.

Daybreak.

The sun slid silently
into our room
kissed our faces
and lay softly
in our love bed.

The sky had not fallen.

The earth had not disappeared.

We were alive
to love again.

Every thing in the Cosmos
is forever changing.
Things are born,
they die and they
come into existence again.
All these changes are governed by law..
natural laws ordained...
The Cosmos is never changing..
time is a circle
look at the sun....look at the moon
the present from the past
the future from the present
a circle
all points are linked
none can say
here is the link
the beginning
the end
 for all points both perched

yet there is deeper understanding
the past has departed
and no longer exists
the future has not arrived
is yet to come
even the present
does not last
so how can it be said to
exist
when it does not stay still for a moment
