Day 7. I can't get the vision of a man begging for his life, calling out to his deceased  mother, taking his last breath and dying out of my mind. People are angry, they want answers, they want change and we have a mad Maniac tweeting incendiary messages all damn day. Babylon is burning and infiltrators are instigating riots! People are fearful due to the circumstance - possibly understanding the fear I live with everyday of my life. This is more than George, there is an exhausting list of unarmed citizens who have been murdered by government agents.  
Today it hit me like a ton of bricks, my son is the same age as my dad was when he marched for social justice. If there weren't so many years between my father and my son I would think it was Groundhog Day! And in the end I have to wonder will we have Judicial and Social Justice Reform? Will law enforcement finally be held accountable? From the reports we are seeing in the news, some have only buckled down further on their abusive Behavior. Tonight I ponder, what do I say to my son? I have  become a broken record and plead with him to please be safe every time he leaves the house! Paranoia has become my lover. Oppression is exhausting, and to quote Fannie Lou Hamer, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Is anyone listening?

Day 10, in Minneapolis A city mourned the murder of George Floyd (say his name), prayer and reflection, tears and profound sadness. Mostly peaceful protests WORLDWIDE, because this is about more than a singular government sanctioned murder. Disappointment reigns supreme as true colors are displayed like a peacock's tail with all the colors of the rainbow. The silence of some seems complicit while the comments of others is profoundly surprising! The truth shall set you free they say......when someone shows their true colors give them a coloring book not your time. Cutting them loose can be cathartic; An experience becoming prevalent. 
There are those that want this outrage to go away, why do they have to post so much, we know, this is just an example of a small percentage of officers, it doesn't apply to me, it's not all of us; even though the world watched as an American citizen cried for his mother while he took his last breath. Is this your definition of greatness? For some, greatness is a relative term, but isn't that privilege?
We are being challenged as humans to GET out of our comfort zones and fix this travesty of justice . If peaceful protests make you uncomfortable, you won't wear NIKE, you protest the NFL and vilify a player, if comments made during precious award ceremonies disturbed you, if you RAGED at Beyonce's words and can't understand why people need to remind the country that black lives matter too, perhaps you are on the wrong side of history and really don't care about your black, brown and tan friends. [ clearly the notion of peaceful protest is just a charade ]
Crucial conversations are starting, they are not easy, yet eye opening. A commonality of purpose and humanity is the theme.We must not forget, we must not become complacent, things must change. Stay in power and protest!

Remember that you were art long before he came to admire you, and you’ll continue to be art even when he’s gone. – a masterpiece is still a masterpiece when the lights are off and the room is empty. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XwdHUgjAl/?igshid=1iwxnyqfyj834

If ever someone tries to convince you that there is only one path to success,just remind yourself that miuccia prada earned a PhD in political science. Then became a mime, then a member of the italian communist party, then a women’s rights activist, then became one of the world’s most iconic designers then opened an art gallery and is now the ninth richest woman in the world. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9s-0ag9ro/?igshid=gkea16x2rbj4

Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space, not even death. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYaDaBhT8i/?igshid=e7lh40l253go

Your expectations keep you from making progress, be patient, it takes as long as it takes to heal a life of pain.

Happy Birthday Son There is no sweeter mystery than a son, You hold him, fast asleep in your arms, and wonder what he's dreaming. You watch him at play, his imagination taking him someplace you can't quite follow..... You see his interests, his tastes, his talents taking shape, all while guessing at what he's thinking. You look at the man he's grown up to be and marvel at how everything came together to make him who he is. You see in him so much you always hoped for, so much you could have never dreamed.....And it's all a part of your love for him, It's all a part of why you're so proud to have him for a son. ❤❤❤ With So Much Love. and Pride https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOUULZHAur/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eesuak9onrio
