Unexpected Visit

Just sharing some wisdom in a prose that is just a reminder to some if not all: LIVE!

“Hey Hey Hey…

Death Angel, Death Angel done came to see me, so I knew my time wouldn’t run me much longer.
I gotta.. I gotta go,
Gotta let the wind know
How much I appreciate the cool air on my cheek.
Gotta let the foundations of the Earth know
How much I appreciate the ground under my feet.
How I love bird song..and the night long.
You know when, like sometimes I can’t sleep and I’m just up.
But I appreciate being up and being alive.

Hey Hey Hey…
I gotta…I gotta go,
Gotta let my family know
How much I’ll miss them
Gotta let my friends know
How much I love ‘em and their laughter and their comfort
How I appreciate their presence

Death Angel, Death Angel done came to see me, and it..it ain’t much time for me left.
But then again, it never was.
I gotta.. I gotta go,
Gotta let that man know,
I ain’t neva been one to fall in love recklessly be fo’,
But Jack, I’m ready to tumble down that hill if’n he will, go wit me– that is
Jill asked “Is it the way?..” oh it most certainly is…

Death Angel, Death Angel done seen me, done gave me a high five and I realize, it’s high time for me to start living.
Start living, start living, start living..
Wish I hadn’t waited til death came to start living.
Death Angel done came to see me
But then again he coming fo’ us all one day.
You just don’t know when.
Don’t wait to die to let living begin.”

-The End

If I May

Listen to your inner voice ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If I may The Devil gotta funny way of keeping the mind so preoccupied that you nev'a getta chance to really - think To really- sink deep down into the core of yourself so much so that you can hear that echo sound when no one else' around you feel yourself reverberate. Fate bounces of the walls of you soul and fills those holes you had your big car, plasma t.v., black card, and designer shoes in. Sometimes when you lose control, you really win. The devil gotta funny way of keeping the mind in a state of static shock keeping us locked and in awe of what we ought and ain't got When we really ought to be glad we got at all Static nev'a changing The Devil is funny that way.

Ask For What You Need

On last Thursday, I couldn't work. I tried to concentrate but couldn't. I was grasping at something, something I couldn't reach, and clamoring at something unseen. I felt the tension in my body and in my emotions, I was angry--but at what? On Thursday I updated my Linked-In profile, and I realized there were things missing, words and ideas I wanted to communicate. A story I wanted to tell that couldn't be seen from the sterile words I used to describe my professional career. So, I kept updating, and looking at other profiles, and I kept yearning, grasping as if my Linked-In profile would reveal a magic answer. Instead, what I found  was me...telling myself I was not good enough, not educated enough, didn't have enough experience in this area or another, I needed more training. All of this validating my fears and solidifying my unworthiness. Geez! It's clear now although it wasn't then. I don't have all of the answers, I likely never will. But Go...

Pressing On - Volume 2: Words of Wisdom for 2009

Whenever I find myself looking over my shoulder I'm grateful God keeps me from turning into a pillar of salt. Be careful of who and what you surround yourself with. Be mindful of negativity, sometimes it is cloaked in kind faces. The world is a sad place when everything is against you. Be grateful for some things that have slipped away and always look to the hills from which cometh your help. It's brighter on the horizon and it is hard to move forward looking backward. "The secret is not to figure it out, just live." - A. McCray
