"Relative"***

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] "Perspective is Relative" Even as one reads those words, the thoughts that begin to formulate in one's mind may differ tremendously from what was intended by the author. It takes some growing up to actually arrive at the point of "becoming grown" and realizing and accepting that as we traverse along this journey- that perhaps everything is working out as it's supposed to.  The piece I was led to publish today speaks directly to that exact concept. "RELATIVE" ...yes, it is another composition that I am re-publishing because it truly seems that a variety of my pieces are glaringly more relevant at this point of my journey and the journey's of SO many around me.  So, stick with me as I reminisce and allow GOD to use me to convey the message that it is contained within me through these SPIRIT inspired words. OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE

"Hold to The Wrapping"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] Oftentimes, that for which we find ourselves desperately searching is right there within our hands or contained within that which we willingly discard.  This entire piece, music and all, is intended to be disconcerting-an example of what we find ourselves doing within our lives. Over complicating things when there is no need and casting away those things that are/were designed to simplify the entire journey. "Hold to the Wrapping" is an encouraging word that I hope inspires us to be careful to use discernment regarding the purported gift and that we consider to be only its' wrapping. You know the saying 'all that glitters is not gold... Well,I have another oldie..."One man's trash is another man's treasure". Be careful to not throw away the gift simply because we have been indoctrinated to only consider its packaging disposable and without much thought throw it away. OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

"Longing*

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] Tomorrow, March 16th, 2026, is my 65th birthday! PRAISE GOD!! I share this piece with all those with whom I have enjoyed this time-this blessing.  "Longing" is a piece that I hope evokes your special memories of people and times that let you know, as it does me, that the process of longing is... SIMPLY LOVE THAT REFUSES TO FADE. So, ENJOY this piece as you...REMEMBER! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

'trippin' "**

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] This current administration afforded numbers of people and groups of people to remove their masks and expose themselves for who they truly are and what they truly represent. 'trippin" is a short piece that illuminates some of the things that we as blacks, especially men, encounter on a daily basis. Regrettably those persons and companies now feel no need to disguise their reprehensible actions towards those they feel are less than. I shall not allow myself to be denied the rights that are inherently mine as a human nor those Civil Rights that so many of my ancestors shed sweat, tears, and in many cases blood to attain! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!   PEACE!

'The Solution...Stop Adding Red"*

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] There now seems to be only one way that WE can prevent the continuing onslaught of decisions that are clearly intended to benefit and further establish the desires of those who live to strip away the inherent rights of other humans. The manner by which to do so is highlighted in... " The Solution...Stop Adding Red" ...the change we desire is not something we can hope away. We, my people and those of a like mind, have to exercise our constitutional right and go to the polls in never before seen droves and VOTE all those who oppose equality out of office. Many within the MAGA base have discovered that their lives are not a high priority for those they so zealously voted into office. We have to solicit their participation in making ensuring that candidates who "see the good" in every human is elected. Regrettably, a number of those who have seen their lives devolve into a cycle of turmoil will persist in providing support for those who treat their individual woes as no more than collateral damage-they are those who operate from a spirit of unadulterated hatred for their neighbor. We cannot...WE MUST NOT allow those people to determine OUR FUTURE... REGISTER TO VOTE... CONFIRM YOUR PRECINCT (3 TIMES)... VOTE!!! ***Let's reintroduce them to the primary lessons and SHOW THEM WHAT MIXING RED and BLUE CREATES!! OUR SPIRIT LIVES! PEACE!
