They love it when you smile, unaware that it's a strain. It's a curse you gotta live with, when you're born to entertain.

Lena Horne, Paris 1947.
Classic, like another place and time.

We've got quick phrases and pretty, heartfelt songs, but only a few people in this world to tell you how to truly overcome...

LIFT AS YOU CLIMB...???

For who do you know that really knows you, knows your heart? And even if they did, is there anything they would discover in you that you could take credit for? Isn't everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what's the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle. Without bringing either Apollos or me into it, you're sitting on top of the world—at least God's world—and we're right there, sitting alongside you!

1 Corinthians 4:7-8
The Message (MSG)

Wait, read it again..."MESSAGE!"...remember that from "Don't be a menace..."?

You could get the money
You could get the power
But keep your eyes on the final hour
Im about to change the focus
From the richest to the brokest
I wrote this opus
To reverse the hypnosis
Whoevers closest
To the lines gonna win it
You gonna fall tryin to ball
While my team win the pennant
Im about to be in it
For a minute
Then run for senate
Make a slum lord be the tenant
Give his money to kids to spend it
And then amend it
Every law that ever prevented
Our survival since our arrival
Documented in the bible
Like moses and aaron
Things gon change, its apparent
And all the transparent gonna
Be seen through
LET GOD REDEEM YOU
Keep your deen true
WATCH OUT WHAT YOU CLING TO
You can get the green too
Observe how a queen do
And I remain calm readin the 73 psalm
Cause wit all this on I got the world in palm
Lauryn Hill - "Final Hour"

Allow me to reintroduce myself...

This blog is going to track my journey (emotional) from "here" to "there". Displayed to you through the arts (pics, music, etc.). God has a specific purpose for everyone, maybe I can either lead you to yours or help you cultivate it. I hope you enjoy and make comments good or bad, peace!

As if from my heart

And it feels as though I’ve seen your face a thousand times

And you said you really know me too yourself

And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes

But you say you gonna live it for yourself

This is it, here I stand
I’m the light of the world, I feel grand
Got this love I can feel
And I know yes for sure it is real

And I feel as though I’ve known you since 1,000 years

And you tell me that you’ve seen my face before

And you said to me you don’t want me hanging round

Many times, wanna do it here before

-Michael Jackson, "This is it"
