Dear Gemini your time now is very tricky, you are at the end of many trials and tribulations and you have made it through them all. The common tendency may be to believe that you can relax and or even become complacent. Yes, you may even be at the apex of the metaphorical mountain that you had to climb, but the journey isn’t over yet, … Continue reading Gemini: Your Year Ahead From, This Birthday to the Next 2023-2024.
I normally don’t like using cliche’s especially those that hint at the Biblical. However this does not mean that cliche’s do not have some truth inside of them. Many of us have been tested and many of us will be tested again. Throughout our lifetimes “tests,” will attack our faith, our love, even our reality, and some of us will ask the question, “Why am … Continue reading One Must Be Tested in Order to Testify
One could argue that it’s easy to be asleep in America, that one could sleep walk through America’s cities and never see homelessness, that you can watch a sports channel all day and never know that children are dying in places of war. And by sleep do I mean ignore, absolutely. Willful ignorance is a form of “sleep” a form of denial to the realities … Continue reading Ron DeSantis isn’t as much Anti-Woke as he is Pro-Sleep
I recently experienced two things on the same day, one I was told my Blog seemed angry and two that I should make my Blog about other people. Basically I was being told that no one wants to hear about your fears and anger they want you to comfort them from theirs. Well Dear Reader here is my attempt. As far as I have discerned … Continue reading Fear and Anger in a Dark Age And How I Will Survive It.
If you haven’t read Part One, don’t worry you won’t have to. I ask myself what is sacred often, not consciously but more often than I should. I believe that the rains that fall in Southern California are sacred, when they do fall. I believe that every parent should treat their child as if they were sacred, and not just when they are born. I … Continue reading Do You Ever Ask Yourself, What is Sacred? Part 2

We live and exist in a time of Self-Proclaimed Gurus, Shamans, and Saints. Don’t get me wrong they have always existed as have Charlatans, and often they are/were one and the same. They, the Self Proclaimed/Charlatans have used the desire of other’s for the sacred to “enhance” themselves. To tell you that the sacred has always been there and to tell you that you need … Continue reading Do You Ever Ask Yourself, What is Sacred? Part 1
As of late if you look on Social Media there are a lot of “Gen-X’ers” claiming accolades, for lack of a better word, about how they raised themselves. Of which for the most part and for many of us was true. Gen-X is considered to be the generation born from 1965-1980, many of us were latch key kids, raised on television by navel gazing Boomers … Continue reading Gen X, The Republican Party, and No Vaseline.
I was recently scrolling through FaceBook the other day and I came across a remembrance of a High School friend, one who I had not known had passed. I couldn’t believe it, so I reached out to find out how he had passed, he was one of the first people to buy one of my paintings, and I was so grateful at the time, I … Continue reading A Black Man in Pain, I Am One Of Many.
So here we are in Oscar season again and I can’t help but to think about what Will Smith did almost a year ago. Now I’m not sure if Will Smith ever used that phrase, “Living the Dream,” but I know many a person especially from the mid too late 90’s thought he was living the dream, I mean he wrote songs about it. Hello, … Continue reading Living The Dream: Will Smith and The Slap Heard Around the World.
