NEW YEARS EVE 2020 – GIVING THANKS FOR…

GIVING THANKS FOR LOVE

Giving thanks for life

Giving thanks for air and water

Giving thanks for birds in the tree

Giving thanks for belching stomach as we are blessed with food to eat

Giving thanks for time to retreat, recoup and reset

Giving thanks for opportunities to realign

Giving thanks for art and music

Giving thanks for culture for spiritual practices and enlightenment

Giving thanks for eyes that cry, tears that soothe and cleanse all sorrow away

Giving thanks for survival and lessons learned

Giving thanks for strength to keep taking one step at aa time, moving forward always, tis yes, thy doth rest from time to time,

Alas, give thanks again, a new year, a new day, cometh.

We give thanks…

Afro futurism within Afropolitanism

Afro futurism

Afrofuturism is a cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science and philosophy of history that explores the developing intersection of African diaspora culture with technology. It was coined by Mark Dery in 1993 and explored in the late 1990s through conversations led by Alondra Nelson. Wikipedia


Afropolitan Melodies

Get me back in the studio…

Afropolitan

Afropolitan is a term constructed from the name Africa and the ancient Greek word πολίτης, meaning ‘citizen’. It is an attempt at redefining African phenomena by placing emphasis on ordinary citizens’ experiences in Africa. Afropolitanism is similar to the older Panafricanism ideology. Wikipedia

Melodies, plural of melody

Melody A melody, also tune, voice or line, is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can include successions of other musical elements such as tonal color. Wikipedia


I’m back

Artist Retreat 2020 (Lockdown)

OMG!! What a time we are in!!

Words depart from me

I dare not speak out

words return to me

i must, i must speak out

silence me no more oh woes of distant pasts

silence me no more ye voices of the present blast

i will, i will speak out

i must i must speak out
