Peace

If peace means accepting second class citizenship, then I don’t want it. If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of evil and injustice, then I don’t want it. If peace means being complacent and accepting the status quo, then I don’t want it. If peace means being passive, then I don’t want it. If peace means a willingness to be exploited and humiliated, then that’s the kind of peace that I don’t want—-DR. KING (from his speech in Louisville Kentucky , 1956)

 

That is white Americans’ definition of peace for Black people and other ethnic groups.  Personally, I would rather die fighting for real peace and freedom.

Following the Soul

Following the Soul

Each day, I find myself walking away yet nothing changes. I wonder: What do I seek? Where am I going? Am I afraid?… What am I walking away from and why now?

Then I stumbled upon  this quote by Rumi:

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there. #quotes

Following my soul….wherever it leads that is where I will go…

Maya Angelou – ”Run Joe” (Miss Calypso)

Phenomenal Woman   By Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,

Rumi Quotes: Life and the Soul

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home

Rumi Quotes: Life and the Soul

 

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

***

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

***

In the world there is naught so wondrous as the sun, but the Sun of the soul sets not and has no yesterday.

***

Bread is the food of the body, yet consider, How can it be the food of the soul, son?

***

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

***

Hidden things are manifested by their opposites.

***

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

***

Virtue cannot exist without temptation and difficulties to be overcome.

***

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Unhealthy Love

 

Love? Romantic love, feelings not felt in years, not sure those intense, all-consuming passionate feelings will ever be felt again. Maybe that is a good thing: it was not healthy love yet love nevertheless more than ever imagined or felt. Sometimes, we say if only…

If only I had done or not done that, or this…., the result would be the same; we were not meant to be; neither of us was happy, maybe we were both scared. Whatever the reasons, I am a better person now perhaps because we loved each other for a moment.

Thank You! I wish you well my love.

Music to Forget Lost Love:

electric-avenue

Eddy Grant – Electric Avenue

“Electric Avenue”

Boy! Boy!

Now in the street, there is violence
And-and a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And-and I can’t blame all on the sun

Oh no, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Workin’ so hard like a soldier
Can’t afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart, I abhor ya
Can’t get food for the kid

Good God, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

Oh God, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Who is to blame in one country?
Never can get to the one
Dealin’ in multiplication
And they still can’t feed everyone

Oh no, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Ho no, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Ho, out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the daytime
Out in the night

Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town

Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Hey, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Ohh yeah
Rock it in the daytime
Rock it in the night
Rock it in my…
