Sananda Maitreya: Share Your Pain

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Its so simple but it touches my soul.
I understand every word.
I feel the simplicity of the song and I know the deepness of every word.
I appreciate how Sananda pours out this song from his spirit.

This song will bring me to TEARS.

As I'm pushing through to get Sydney to the next level of life, as I'm pushing through to be what God would have me to be, this song just captures it all.

My song of the moment.

formerly known as Terrence Trent D'Arby

Share Your Pain

I've seen your thunderclouds and I've seen your rain
But I love you more when you share your pain with me
I've seen the winds of change swallow your seeds of grain
But I love you more when you share your pain with me

Dream your dream
Dream lover
Light the dawn
'cause when you dream
another light goes on

Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist" by Kevin Powell

In the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to have very brief conversations with Kevin Powell. Its very interesting to speak with someone with similar passions for community service.

My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did. In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
