John Coltrane: While My Lady Sleeps
Coltrane’s intensity is amazingly stimulating. I can hear words under each note, softly whispering to me, “sweet dreams.” Enjoy!
Thank you for coming here,

Sucking the seed of a mango I learned to kiss
Tasting the sweet water in melons I learned to tap into the flavor of life,
succulent nectar dripping from each experience
I taste…
not caught up in his superficial
not caught up in his sex
not caught up in domination
or imposing
we are inside of each other
he is,
allowing the energy of me to permeate
as he penetrates me with words and truth
I concentrate on his vernacular and
the way he moves,
his harmonious high steps
Heaven
He balances me with oneness
telling stories of how he became
He is as grateful as I
He says,
“Be with me. Come close, stay close.”
There is nothing between us
that we cannot speak
He,
I breathe
“You have given me something
that I have wanted forever,” he says,
“even before I reincarnated”
We are attracting the things we need to ascend
I have felt peace,
and now I know of it
going, moving forward, and backwards,
and sideways
I will find a way to see you…
always.
In each life.

Nothing stays the same. If it’s not growing, it’s time to move.
B-Side → KNOWLEDGE OF SELF is more than just having a favorite color or preferring one flavor over another. It’s so much deeper!

No one ever leaves you…
Image
All these memories, too much to lose
I don’t need faith, I just want you…
Old man, let me wipe your eyes
I’ve never seen you cry
I’ve never seen you cry
Old friend, in our own sweet time
We’ll say a good, goodbye
All my life, I know by now
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 You’d say, this is all there is
And every time you’d blink, you’d miss
another piece of this wondrous world All I’d ask is why you’d leave so soon
Everybody seems to
I don’t need faith, I just want you
No one ever leaves you
No one ever leaves you
I don’t need faith, I don’t need truth
No one ever leaves you You’d say, this is all there is
And every time you’d blink, you’d miss
another piece of this wondrous world All I’d ask is why you’d leave so soon
Everybody seems to
I don’t need faith, I just want you
No one ever leaves you
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…

6 Fantastically Appealing Women 2019
Image
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…

A Love Supreme

I hear you Mr. Coltrane
Building and breaking down rhythms
Suspended, intensive tension
Creating transformative experiences that heal our souls
I hear you inside of me,
consuming me
Driving me to create and co-create,
allowing me this intuitive moment of recreation
I feel you engaging me and filling me with water
changing my molecular structure
giving me power and reminding me of who I am
I’m becoming her again
As I go through these motions
These hard bottoms,
the rug was pulled from beneath me and all I could do is
tune in to a mellow mood
I hear you
Making me remember where I come from
I see our ancestors lining up to hear you
Turiya joining, spiritual unity at its highest,
or low, improvise,
play me a song, so I can levitate
Trance, meditate,
towards be bop, I gravitate
I see you standing beside me, pushing me to my limits,
a love profound
Giving and receiving
your love Supreme
I am traveling in these abstract realms
Seeing to know
to live
to be
Closer to who I am, closer and closer
I change the track and let
it all come in
and another one, and another one
The flow is
Wonderfully droning, the waves
enlightening, the veil fades
As the world turns
I fast
Transcending even ethnic distinctions,
All illusions Demystified
An illness is cured
Bye bye blackbird
We are Rich with resources
This awakening,
Cymatic evolution
at peace

“I want to go to a place where I have nothing and everything, that exists between here and nowhere. I want to go to a place where I’m suspended in ecstasy… I want to go to a place between dark and light, where wrong becomes right. I want to go to a place where time has no consequences. I want to go to a place where I can hold the intangible, and let go of the pain with all my might. I want to live inside the glow.”
To my dear family…
… and to anyone who wants to wake up.

His message, her message…
I know there’s a lot to be angry about in this world, but let’s talk about how you feel and why. When you shout I can’t hear you at all.
It is my mission to keep my cool. I only raise my voice when I’m speaking passionately, but really, not even then. I find that as I get deeper into my spiritual practices, the desire to shout has faded. I just want peace of mind.

P.S. But I will check you, with a calm tone! Don’t come for me! Lol.
I love Aries season!
Image
My homeboy Bobby took this pic of me 10 years ago. He even put the make-up on my face! I am grateful. Happy Birthday Bobby! I love Aries season. To all the Aries in my life- my Mama, my Baba, my nieces Kyla and Xoi, my best friend’s daughter Brandi, my cousin Andre, and my homeboy Frank Anthony aka Imhotep, and to any Aries unmentioned or from the past. The moment I had with you all was beautiful, even if it didn’t last. I decided not to look up any character traits associated with Aries. I don’t really need to. I can feel what they are.
This has truly been a season of transformation. Spring forward!
The morning after…
Image
The morning after you break free
When the message inside of you resounds
When you’ve been alone and listening
and practicing and chanting and hopping frequencies
and traveling thru alternate dimensions
and seeing numbers and symbols and signs
and meditating and discovering rituals
and the veil falls…
And the Sun appears
and you synthesize with the intelligent,
confident and gentle, ego-less, playful, divine masculine
and you summon the spirits
And your ancestors march in legions
from the east, the south, the west, and the north,
towards your light
When as above is so below
When you unMask
And the answers reveal themselves
When eyes that once were hazy become clear
and your femininity is a wave, a hurricane, an infinite power
and your wild woman flows, unharnessed
repelling and attracting
“The morning after I went into myself and pulled out the cancer,
the pain, the disharmony, and became,
a healer
With my own mind, and my own hands I,
am the all seeing
the high being…”
When the blindfold falls
And you see yourself
and love yourself
and love yourself
and love yourself
but it’s something even deeper
I hear my voice
This is my choice
This is my life
timeless,
I know the Way
