Rediscover

Rediscover.

Rediscover the fire that burns deep within you. Those things that stood out to you, and made you want to affect the world in a special way. Rediscover your purpose and your meaning. Rediscover who you are. Who you are deep down when no one is around. The things that you really care about. Rediscover what your connection to the world; the universe is. Rediscover your passion. Rediscover the things that make you happy again. Life is such a journey, that it takes us up and down and through different periods in our lives, to show us things that we wouldn't normally see. It helps build and form our perspective. Everything happens in your life to get you to grow in someway. I feel that every person is unique and valuable to the human experience, for we are all apart of one body- Mother Earth. Understand that this journey has always been spiritual, and that true north resides within you. Rediscover the art of being you.

Rediscover yourself.

Rejuvenation

Thu, 14 Jan 2016 18:11:35 GMT

In my consciousness, I love the idea of rejuvenation. Because again, it's another level. It is an example that something has been depleted, and needs to be restored, or made whole again. In my mind, I think of rejuvenation as a liquid; meaning it can reach anywhere, through any crevice. And once you get just a little drop, it can save your life. I think of rejuvenation as a burst of energy from the source, to you. Momentum may be low, and tanks may need to be filled. But when you are revitalized, and the juices start to flow. You are able to feel life again. You feel you can conquer the world. When you are rejuvenated, you can breath deep, and really taste the air.

A lot of times we think on the physical plane, so our bodies will take the bulk of the responsibility of feeling rejuvenation. So yes we must eat right, and stretch our bodies. And with rest and relaxation, we can help heal our bodies. But what about our minds? What does it mean to have your soul rejuvenated?

We have to dig back down into our roots. Embrace what we have and what we are, and decide to move forward. There are different parts of you that may need to be restored, and at different times. Sometimes it's our mind, our thoughts, our ideas. Sometime's it's as simple as about getting rid of old thinking patterns, and creating new ones. Maybe your soul is feeling neglected, maybe you're not doing what you're really supposed to be doing in life. Maybe you're two steps away from becoming your ultimate self. Use this energy, this new year to catapult you into your more fluid self. Your powerful self. Remember rejuvenation is like a liquid, a liquid that can go anywhere. And same liquid resides in you.

Rebirth

Mon, 04 Jan 2016 16:25:52 GMT

We all need to experience a Rebirth, at some point in our lives. To feel like it's a fresh start, or a new beginning. Because that old life, that old way was so heavy. In fact too heavy at times, yet you still endured. But the thing about rebirth is, it doesn't erase the previous life, it adds to it. It evolves it. It's like getting a new body, mentally. Rebirth allows your mind to heal from mental scars and frustrations. Sometimes we're worn down and don't recognize it. But our body and spirit does.

"Some things in your life have to die, in order for other things in your life to grow."

We all need to be made aware of that sometimes. And it's not until we're on our last leg or drop of energy that we understand. We need to be unplugged and rebooted sometimes. We need to redetermine our way. Life has a way of finding your limits, and stretching you far beyond them. And when you reach the point of no return, you will find new levels. You then experience what is like your "new charge". It's like seeing every color of light at once. It's the feeling of knowing you will be successful and that your life is not a mistake. That your purpose has meaning. It is like a positive charge or surge flowing through your body. So magnetic and filled with life and velocity. I feel that The art of birth, is at the heart of God- The Creator. Because you don't have control over it, and you have to let go and surrender.

And the beauty of the rebirth is, it restores the sense of purity. That innocence the world around you tried to strip away. That yearning to learn and experience the world again. To look at the world with fresh eyes, no pain. No scars. But to see what life is really about. The rebirth is the seed planted in you years ago, just about to bloom. For it's the right season. Rebirth is that extra energy you need to keep putting into your project and into yourself. It may seem as you're just tilting the soil, and you're in over your head, but you're just becoming one with your foundation. Rebirth is a mindset, then you suddenly realize this is what the next level feels like. This is a taste of the other side. This is what being alive feels like. You may not be where you want to be, but you are still here, and ALIVE.

Intro to "Year 9 (2016)"

Mon, 04 Jan 2016 15:31:54 GMT

Join us weekly as we're going to be using Art as a weapon. Art and expression will be our voice. We have been gathering our thoughts and ideas, and mixing them into a stew titled "Year 9 (2016)". It is a weekly journey, and I look to inspire, evoke, get my audience to move in constructive way. We'll be diving into various topics, such as the conditions of Black America, How to keep growing, Status of America today, The responsibility of our generation, etc. We have lined up weekly poems, skits, photography, short stories, and expressive collections to get the attention of The People. It's time to get involved and spark the next era of Kind Man.

Each week, we will focus on an area of the body or mind. And each week, we all will get stronger and stronger, until our true identity is revealed. Then is when I think we'll be able begin to heal as a nation, and become the Great people we were designed to be. These are some of my thoughts and observations. So join me on this journey to rediscover self and our identity. Welcome to "Year (9)2016."
