Happy MLK Day to the people all around the globe. MLK a three letter personality whose searing fire left a print blazed upon the world. A world that is now changing for the worse 53 years after his death, a world that seems like it is poised to forget the great man and the awesome struggle. Covid -19 seems to have canceled and quelled many celebrations. Some of which we need for posterity, social development, and history sake. The lessons of yesterday teach us how to prepare for tomorrow. Real Talk!!!

On my MLK Day your humble blogger enjoyed dinner with the biography of MLK and it was staggering. The hurdles and block of opposition and the heat and can't of the people who were determined to continue white supremacy as the status quo, was what he stood boldly against. He was beaten, stabbed, jailed, his house bombed, and he always said to hate the deed and not the person. There will always be men that are brave and willing to fight but there will rarely be a man who out of love for God and humanity that will refuse to fight. Dr. King looked hate eyeball to eyeball and he said "I love you". Real Talk!!!

As a footnote I never liked the man. I never liked the tactics of the civil rights struggle. I thought it demonstrated weakness and passivity, to ask for something that already belongs to you like freedom. As a older and wiser man I know you can't out hate, hate. Love wins end of story. Real Talk!!!

Two Worlds

 Real talk more and more the days we live in seem like a scene from the Matrix.  I feel myself to be a green Neo type remember Keanu Reaves in the Matrix He was just dabbling in this or  that  for extra money but working a meaningless corporate job feeling , there was something terribly  wrong but clueless to what it really was,  just feeling there must be more to life.    My Morpheus , That is the person who ushered me out of the matrix and into the real world is Ivy  Joy Johnson.  A north Colorado Pastor.  The first time I met her she said if I left her care , I’d be dead before sunrise,  that evil people were looking for me  and that they wanted to put my head on a platter.  Real Talk!  I didn’t  doubt it I didn’t say anything , but Yes Maam I knew! Real talk!  That was my introduction to reality, it’s barely 18 months later and I miss and long  for the blissful days  of ignorance I once ha...

What A Wonderful World

Devils Tower, Wyoming Sequoia National Forest Colorado river from space looks like ancient fallen tree Sequoia National Forest Satellite image of giant tree stump WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD Jan,3,2021   I spent the day basking in the sun and enjoying the beauty of the trees.   I remembered being a kid and climbing a tree, it made me smile.   It reminded me of a friend from Colorado who sent me a link on youtube, about a forest of giant trees that were unearthed.   I wondered had the entire earth been covered with them, mile-high trees!   Wow!   It was a beautiful thought.   I was curious what a time traveler might say about our trees today?   Would he call them tiny?   What might he say about our atmosphere, the air we breathe, the brightness, or perhaps possibly the dimness of the sunshine’s rays?   Could it be that the sun which we call bright is actually dim to a traveler from 200 years ago?   I worked 4 years as a tree man a...

Keeping it Real

 Can we have a Real Talk? Sure we can but we can be certain that someone's feelings are going to be hurt. Maybe pain is necessary for growth. Perhaps this is why much of our emotional development has been retarded, oops perhaps that is better said developmentally delayed. Do you get it? It is Real Talk it cuts right to the heart. Like, for example everybody knows, "A black ass nigga steals". It may be offensive but that is Real Talk. What needs highlighting is that nothing is black but the heart. A nigger is a created entity and it has no color connotation. In a Real Talk session you know exactly what I mean. It means a person who you fed, clothed, loved, cared for, and when he left he or she stole your phone charger. Kapeesh, do you feel me? Have you ever noticed that the main people who are starting fights causing problems and creating all types of disorder, chaos, and violence have almost a singular body type, no boobs, no booty, and big belly. Real Talk. The next time...
