Face off

“I’ve learned that it is in my human nature to mouth-off in front of a lions open jaw. My existence intersects his as I stand firm despite all of his roaring breath and saliva spewing on my face. His perspective is loud and damaging, yet my perspective is mine and won’t permit me scared into submission. I will be wise and take what I need if I am to survive leaving the rest. After all survival is in my human nature.” -Gracie

In the Spirit of Things

“Lets all wear our whites and wear it well. We will feel at peace with ourselves and victorious over our enemies near and far. Be healed, Be at One.” -Ire, Ase. According to Akan tradition, white is never worn at a funeral because it is a color that symbolizes joy, purity, cleansing and victory. While paying homage to Ancestors, they wrap a special Ancestral stool in white cloth to protect it from negativity. In Voodoo tradition of the Fon kingdom in Benin, white is worn during rituals of healing and cleansing.

Got God Sense?

Got God Sense?

Realize I honestly have a God sense. People I meet are enchanted, eager to get close to me because of the way I look. Then when I open my mouth. It’s like they can’t take that I stand for SOMETHING. Sends them shivering, shuttering, on the defense into the night (but you were so beautiful they say). I witnessed some real live buffoonery tonight. These snickas got Bamboozled right in front of me. I couldn’t watch, so I spoke up! And they shamed me. They invited me in, then silenced their voices to me. News Flash, Never gone stop being me lol! So I hope that they start being truly them. Love to my dear friend Kimyatta Williams for all of the laughs prior to leaving the haps. 🙂
