Her Head.


Uncle plays mind games with her head.
Best friend displays the gue in her head.
She tries to ignore voices taunting her head.
She needs to buy more tacky bed-head.

She wants to be on top and ahead.
Wishing her thoughts would be left unsaid.

No one to love lies in her bed.
Unwelcome tramps violate instead.
Peace, she knows, through violent blood shed.
She rests and knows only hope lies ahead.

Response

We must remember that Yahweh called out an "eastern" people. Jesus was a Nazarene who compassionately and committedly extended his love to his "eastern" neighors. Christianity is seemingly, based on all honest observation, an "eastern" religion. I know modern historians would classify this view of Ultimate Reality otherwise. However, the essence in which Christ, The Word, has called his Disciples to embrace and embody inevitably requires a Transcendence of normative categories of eastern and western thoughts.

It is what it is...TRUTH. It is the Truth that Frees a person from suffering (buddhism), it is the Truth that ends cycles of constant humanly effort to forego another round of life (hinduism), it is the Truth that makes Community of saints finally one without separatism (Islam)...Truth gives Breath, Liberates and Unifies. This is Transcendental.

Jamie & Denzel


Preface:
We all know, our dreams make sense to us when we are in the midst of the them. It is only when we wake that Reason moves her way in and either shatters our unconscious fantasies or gives us hope to our conscious reality.

Dream Proper:

I was at a function where everyone was comfortable with each other. The people gathered in a lush emerald court-yard and talked about life; the routine and of course the extraordinary combined. About six feet away was a small round table where two men, of valiant stature, sat and businessed it up. It made no difference, nor affected me in the slightest, of course, that Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx were these two men I made my way to. Naturally, I approached the man that made most sense to me.
"Jamie, you and I share the same amount of wealth. Agree?" I assertively asked.
Jamie replied, "You are right. It makes sense. We make sense. It is practical for us to get married."
Nodding my head, I accepted his sentiment.
Moments later the crowd of acquaintances moved along with the evening and proceeded down an escalator directing everyone to the city.
While I stood alone, waiting to reach ground level, I felt a two large hands take hold of my shoulders. It was Denzel (We are on a first-name basis here- remember this is dream).
He turned me around and declared, "Nicole I want to marry you because I choose to love you with every part of my being. I will love you with Passion."
I immediately shouted, "Yes!"
I had never been so overjoyed. I never knew I could feel and know such completeness. I was home in his arms of embrace.
Stepping off the moving stairs, I realized Jamie saw and overheard all that happened between me and his chum.
No skin of his back, not even two seconds later had Jamie found another complementary and useful partner.
Denzel and I walked hand-in-hand in attempts to find a place of solace.
Finding a perfect bench with no one around, we decided to take a rest and relish in the moment of gladness. All of a sudden I became overwhelmed by the sounds of the crowds fighting for my attention. I became full of fear, thinking Denzel would leave me to bombarding mobs. But he proved me wrong. Unwavering and untouched, Denzel got on one knee and officially asked me to be his bride. His smile exuded the peace I always longed to know. It was then I awoke.

Dream Conclusion:

God told me, Nicole there are many great men of great caliber and stature, but wait for the one who chooses to Love irregardless of practicality or distraction. Wait for your Denzel.

Supplemental Thought:

I never think about these two academy award winning actors.

Invincible


This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won’t anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can’t afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It’s a do or die situation
We will be invincible

This shattered dream you cannot justify
We’re gonna scream until we’re satisified
What are we running for?
We’ve got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there’s no where we can run to anymore

We can’t afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It’s a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It’s a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Won’t anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there’s no where, no where we can run to anymore

We can’t afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It’s a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It’s a do or die situation
We will be invincible
