i love you

i love you in ways that could tear the heart asunder
that pull strings to painful stretches of tethering
that destabilize disciplined equilibrium

and

one that miraculously heals wounds
collected over decades
from beatings to a heart
that ratapans
a new sound of hope.

What Justice for Trayvon Martin looks like..

It can only happen when we as a society lift the indictment of skin color, of all the institutionalized systems that have created and reinforced a pigmentrocracy*.

"When you judge a man because of the color of his skin, then you're committing a crime, because that's the worst kind of judgment...the Black man can't hide. When they start indicting us because of our color that means we're indicted BEFORE we're BORN, which is the worst kind of crime that can be committed." 

-Malcolm X's speech at the Ford Auditorium on February 14, 1965, otherwise known as the "After the Bombing"speech

Justice for Trayvon is beyond the arrest of George Zimmerman and a formal investigation into the Sanford police department. It is the societal consensus we will and HAVE to form to guarantee that no human, like the one below, will EVER be indicted for his or her skin color. Will you commit to ending indictment by skin color?

HANDS DOWN...




As the photo is testament to, I serendipitously ended up dead center, practically falling on the stage. The band was on a whole other level of inspired, passionate precision as they played Richie's golden oldies, in some cases remixed, and classic Commodores. Kenny Rogers made a surprise guest appearance to join Richie in a rendition of "Lady." All in all, it was a truly special show because it transformed, from the glossy emptiness of The Dream's set, to an unpretentious dance party---all night long! What also made it special was...that I got in free...and only heard about it hours before as I passed someone flyering for the show on 6th Street....

Let it be know, this is HAITI

It's not all genetics, it's also your choices

Remember, in all those moments when you want to rationalize away your health issues, that: you are in power of your body and not beholden to genetic determinism. As Deepak Chopra explains, "You are in a constant conversation with every cell in your body..."

Furthermore, he insists: "This post is too short for me to detail how such a revolutionary change occurred in genetic thinking, so I will only point to the findings of Dr. Dean Ornish, the country's most respected advocate for heart prevention, which indicate that improving your diet, exercise and stress levels leads to improved genetic output from 400 to 500 genes."

In conclusion, this means that, "you can be the controller of your body's trillions of cells, and the control switch lies in consciousness."
