The last week has been a terrific week, and I can only expect what's ahead of me to be great.

I would like to say that I have been reading my BIBLE lately, and I must say that it is definitely helping in seeking a better understanding between me and my God. It has been so many things to stand out reading ECCLESIASTES, but what moved me the most is the search for WISDOM. [The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;... Ecclesiastes 10:12]

In the search to be wise there has to be a greater appreciation of all things in duality.

Take for instance, in my mind, I always look at the "whiteman" as the oppressor. Then here it is, a neighbor who is a "whiteguy" electrician asks me to assist him and to make some extra, much needed moolah for the house.

With India and I are faced with a deadline to move out of our apartment by October 1st, while we are both unemployed at this time, a "white lady," Ms. Edie, has granted us the opportunity to move into a two bedroom/1 bath cozy cottage-esque condo for a mere $650 a month (in a private residential community).

In my quest to become a teacher, it is a "whitelady" neighbor, Janice, who gave me the information to a food pantry, thrift store, and employment office that will help me get back into school, all expenses paid.

It is the "whitedude" Mark, the mechanic who fixes our car with the best rates, and has the best conversation, he's a real people's person.

And the countless other "white" people who have helped us in Georgia is re-shaping me everyday into a better human being, and seeing that the Black Nationalist I was is just a racist.

My faults are so deep at times, I am shocked at myself, but I refuse to be ignorant, and that is the wisest lesson I have learned in life thus far.

In this pursuit to be do my life's work in film, literature, and music- I share this life with you as much as I can. I bear no semblance to a perfect man, but I do share as much heart and love as God can give, and not only because it is shared with me, but because it is my duty to do it.

I guess this whole entry is a candid... THE whiteman/blackman is a divisive way of saying one is better than the other, when yet we can't make it without each other.

Let's stay prayerful, because the next 'WHITEMAN' that pisses me off, has nothing to do with him/her being white, its because they have some deep pain that they have not yet forgave, or have been forgiven for.
and that goes for me too.
Love is grand, and the people who share in love will feel my most inner unconditional transparent greatest love on this side of the universe.

I write to say I heard my wife singing more frequently around the house...and that warms my heart, when I hear that sweet sweet melodic voice coming from another room in the house, or the shower. I can't wait to see her perform... LIVE!

I love You Dee Jr., Shay, Po, Rhythm, Famous, and Genius... I love you all... and pray God is working in you, with you, and through you.
Peace and Blessings...
