I’m becoming more aware of home.
Transmigrate,
from the physicaL to the astraL.

p.s. “Don’t be so morbid.”
“No, I’m very much aLive.”
Don’t jump to concLusions.
I’m onLy just beginning
to say bye.
I remember why.
I received a Letter from Him,
in His own handwriting.
Somehow, he is so deserving of my Love?
Hmmmmm. Mmmmmm.
Let me think about that.

P.S. My present temper…
this is not just a faLse pretense.
There is so much more to this story.
Years of respect and patience surface.
He asks questions that matter.
Even those that don’t.
I excavate, I dig.
I’m Listening. Becuz such simpLe things Leave imprints.
He is the most gaLLant Man I know. With the most integrity.
He has moraLs and exercises his wiLL with exceLLent discrimination.
As I change, as I fLow.
I am teLLing you how to save her.
How to save YOU.
PLease do.
Walk towards the Dark and into the Light.
Liquid love energy flowing like a run-on sentence, an infinite sentence, words that never stop, but sound so sweet … keep going …
… the sound of you flowing through me ...
You feel like something that has been buried deep
I had dreamt about you many many times before, felt you in my core
When I laid across your solar plexus,
felt the pulse in your Kemetic Black skin
When I saw you up against the Sun, I remembered
I only just had to wake up and embrace the strength, the power
When I heard your voice,
water ran down my legs like I was giving birth
I was born in this water
When you touched me,
I was burned with the lava of your movement, tattooed
your energy fused with mine to form the nectar of the divine,
you made my pituitary gland itch,
my seventh cervical vertebrae derailed
an osmosis of a matrix, I developed a twitch
______________________________________
This is what it felt like when I remembered a part of myself that was lost.
I wanted to grasp it, while letting it be free,
For all the black, brown, yellow, and red people around the world.
This is where you come from. Wake up.
Walk into Oneness.
Walk towards the Dark and into the Light.
It’s as simple as having a conversation
Having a conversation that reflects my intimacy
with the masculine
with the land, my people, and the ancestors
It’s telling
It’s telling a story
in a motherly tone
one that is assuring
One,
that will give you Life
one that will elevate you to the highest form
so that you can transform
It’s nurturing
and forgiving
It’s the fatherly energy that dictates
the flow of the ocean during those
delicate developmental years of our youth
It’s an interplanetary balancing of the opposites
between the darkened ones who have the light
whose algorithms match the next level of creation
and will define the form of the coming collective state of nature
The Universe,
lies within this atum, atom
the destruction of civilization,
is the transformation
Bombs over this low,
we are the high
the fusion, the change,
the manifestation of rotating brains
We follow spirit into
ourselves
it’s Loud
it’s rocky
the terrane
is extreme
we cover our faces
leaving traces of our breath of life
Recover
because calm is the mask of peace…
the butterflies signal the release
of the left and right
coming center
be reminded
of yourself
inside of me
yo u de cide
Then,

Reflecting on the days of Kwanzaa…
Kwanzaa After Dark is about reflection. After you’ve spent the day doing the Afrikan rituals within your community, go home and think about how you, as an individual can change.
We all come from the cradle of civilization. We all can support Kwanzaa. Why don’t we? Think about that.
Thank you for visiting.
Shila Iris,
Habari gani? This is the question you ask your family, friends, and community at the beginning of each day of Kwanzaa. In the language kiswahili, it translates to “What’s the news?”
Your response is simply whatever day of Kwanzaa it is. So this morning, you responded: “Ujima!” Tomorrow you respond “Ujamaa!”
DAY 3 – UJIMA: COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY
Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned,
Shila Iris ♥
P.S. Divide and conquer has been a very useful tactic in taking from people of Afrikan descent. We can fight this! Let the circle be unbroken. Fix yourself, so that we can all be together. I’m in my healing flow, you know?
I love to say kujichagulia (koo-jee-chah-goo-lee-yuh). ♥ ♥ It rolls off my tongue very nicely. So, here I am, Shila Iris, hey ya’ll!!!! You know I rocks with Kwanzaa on this blog. Check it out.
DAY 1 – UMOJA: UNITY
DAY 2 – KUJICHAGULIA: SELF-DETERMINATION
I am Shila Iris. I should name myself! 🙂

P.S. Do you ever feel like the English language doesn’t have the words to express what you are feeling? Like, it’s not your native tongue? But it’s your first language, the one you’ve been taught, but somehow, it isn’t fulfilling? Get at me.
Ebb and flow…
What if spirituality was learning how to keep the peace in the face of challenge?
Having been through so much pain, my reaction isn’t the same.
Having been through heartbreak and betrayal,
and having had my life flipped, my reflection isn’t the same.
Having lost and gained, and lost again, I learned what God can do.
My spirit isn’t the same. Changing faces, shifting perspectives,
these things only made me better. They made me whole, again.
What if nothing in the world was against you? Every experience was happening to make you grow?

All these memories, too much to lose
I don’t need faith, I just want you…
Old friend, in our own sweet time
We’ll say a good, goodbye
All my life, I know by now
Everybody raise a glass, oh, here’s to a good goodbye
Everybody raise a glass, oh, here’s to a good goodbye
Everybody raise a glass, oh, here’s to a good goodbye
Oh, everybody raise a glass, oh
All these memories too much to lose
No one ever leaves you
I don’t need faith, I don’t need truth
No one ever leaves you
I don’t need faith, I just want proof
Goodnight and goodbye…
Shila Iris
P.S. Dedicated to everyone who has ever been a part of my life, and for those who have crossed my path. Thank you.
The company you keep.
Sucka free. Drama free.
I am a better friend, a better love, a better sister, a better daughter, a better companion, a better everything! Every single day, I learn something new about myself, I learn something new about you too.
I am extremely grateful to have people around me who believe in me and say the most wonderful things to me, daily. I had to find my way back to my people. For a while, I was distracted! I am big on loyalty and trust. I don’t change friends often. The same people have been with me since middle school, since college, for many years now. They are my family.
My mom always said, “choose your friends wisely.” My intuition allowed me to choose the greatest friends, the ones who would be there no matter what. True love, unconditional.
When opposites attract and live harmoniously.
Modern-day proverbs and thoughts by Shila Iris ♥
Thank you for visiting.
These days I am very mindful of the things I consume. I have sensitive eyes, ears, and tastes. My heart is seeking purity at the highest level. With an open spirit, I attract great energy and truth. In my world, this intelligence knows no boundaries. With each person I come into contact with, I find a positive vibration, even in the darkest of hearts and even when it’s hard to see from behind the masks that we all wear. I find the duality in all things. There are lessons to be learned. Everyone is a teacher. Allow the light into your life!
Meditate (to think, to ponder, to fix attention) on this powerful feminine persuasion…
