Soulsville . . .

[Avid Follower]

where a wheel of emotions come into play...awe, love, hate, compassion, passion, ranting, raging, raving, analyzing, finalizing, learning, teaching, wisdom, outlook, alpha/omega, laughing, crying, dying, hoping, change, faith, courage, self-identification, assessment, criticism, success, failure and joy...was all yesterday's news.

Soulsville . . .

whose humanity decries all men are equal.

 

Soulsville . . .

great philosophers reign.

 

Soulsville . . .

thought-provoking, intelligent and stimulating conversations.

 

Soulsville . . .

enlightenment and strength today.

 

Soulsville . . . the future is now.

QUOTES TO LIVE BY

History

"Of all our studies, history is best qualified to
reward our research."
~Malcolm X

Truth burns up error.
~ Sojourner Truth

"Billions of dollars a year is pumped into the
propaganda machine to keep black people ignorant of
the truth about their history and condition."
~ Unknown

"Look at you....chasing your tail....running after the
dollar bill as if it's going to solve your problems
personally or collectively as a people. 'Black
America' is in the top 10 list of richest nations in
the world. Still....look at us. Disrespected,
mistreated and down trodden to say the least. Why?
Because we don't study our past and present to create
a better future with our resources. We have to study
our history....It' s mandatory."
~Lloyd "Amen-Ra" Spivey

"History is a clock people use to tell their
historical culture and political time of the day. It's
a compass that people use to find themselves on the
map of human geography. The history tells them where
they have been, where they are and what they are. But
most importantly history tells a people where they
still must go and what they still must be"
~Dr. John Henrik Clarke

"To illuminate our real African History, to clarify
our African Present, to brilliantly project our
African Future."
~ Mama Kefa Nephthys

Those who have no record of what their forebears have
accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the
teaching of biography and history.

LURED BY A CANDY BAR

my cookies crumble

when we're a

little snugglier than absolutely necessary

under a cozy blanket with teddy bear pictures on it

nerves and butterflies of a wanderer

don't know if I'd like it, but I'll try it

leaving a trail of kisses

down your road less traveled

'cause my attention is needed in your South

detours and taste tests

no part on the way, is spared from my wrath

nearing your sugar cane field

sweet tooth

and a sucker for an ice cream candy bar

can't wait to taste the flavor of ice cream you churn

I hope you give me a cavity

[LibyaWest]

Sigh.....

I wonder how we sweetened our lives before we were kidnapped, driven into the fields, and made to cut the cane that sweetened theirs.

LibyaWest.........musing 

[Patrick Haltiwanger]

Very profound, but we can't live there.

Using it as fuel, instead of allowing it to hinder us.
