"Mama, It's Still Circling" *

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] There are mothers who are condemned to needlessly cry throughout the land. This time the focus is on the mother of Nolan Xavier Wells! Say his name. "Mama...It's Still Circling" is a piece that seeks to illuminate the deaths of our young men and women whose lives are "snuffed out"  without adequate explanation. Whether the cause is alleged suicide or being seemingly abandoned on an island-no investigation or cursory explanation adequately soothes t minds of those left behind. Now there seems to be no effort to lull US into believing that things have changed. We know that things have not changed. It is sadly evidenced by the torrent of tears that awash cities, towns, villages, and hamlets and that perpetually flow-seemingly intent to carry us into the past. Still...we win...WE WIN!!! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

"Trifecta"*

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] If you truly listen.,.. Along this journey we are often caught juggling numerous those things we want to hold to while seeking to determine the importance of each. "Trifecta" ...again, a piece that called for me to revisit.  Because it addresses the quandary created by the vicissitudes of life and those things we ALLOW to rent, lease, and own that SPECIAL SPACE- within our minds. As stated about many pieces I have published in the past... SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS!! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

"The Real"***

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new]  If one did not believe that they would be impacted by... "The Real" ...it certainly now should be abundantly clear by the rulings handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States on yesterday-June 25,2026 that there decisions are PURPOSELY INTENDED to impact ALL PERSONS of color, the marginalized, and the disproportionally affected. This ruling, and the as yet unannounced ruling on birthright citizenship, is purposely creating a GREAT DEAL of anxiety throughout the land. This rulings intended consequence is also meant to create a spirit of despair and despondency within persons of color-irrespective of their citizenship status.  I have already heard it..."if they can do it to them, they can do it to us, also".   Anxiety leads to decisions that oftentimes are not in one's best interest-another one of their desires I REMAIN HOPEFUL...because I KNOW that ...we win...WE WIN". And there is NOTHING-NO THING that anyone and the evil that their heart's contain can do about it. OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

"Pops"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] And still.... We all have memories and stories that we can talk about our father's. The stories I have are not based on long eloquent conversations that we had- that was not Snow! My life lessons were derived from observing- the good and bad -of  this man of action. "Pops" ...encapsulates the  essence of the man that had "many" mouths to feed and went about those things to ensure we had "somt'eat".  As I look back it seems that a number of his actions were indeed based on that fact. I hope this piece stirs memories within all of you of your dad's as we celebrate them on this day... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!! PEACE!!!

"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
