The Seed

“The human mind is like a fertile ground where seeds are continually being planted. The seeds are opinions, ideas, and concepts. You plant a seed, a thought grows, and it grows. The word is like a seed and the human mind is so fertile!”
 

-Don Miguel Ruiz

Rocket: A Poem By Dominique

To know me, to know me
I can tell you, I don't make it easy
To be honest, I'm still learning myself
There are parts of me that I turned off, hidden for years now
If I didn't, I don't think I could function as a "normal" person in this society

I was born an Artist, something that I hide
Here to "starve" that's what they say, Give your heart and soul for little to no pay
I've got book smarts too....

but no matter what I do my he[art] always goes back to Art

Tragedy

There are moments when I'm immersed in my craft and I've never felt so alive
I MEAN, MY GOD I'VE NEVER FELT SO A-L-I-V-E!
Never have I felt so close to God than through ancient movements
I almost feel like I can fly
Every time it is spiritual...

So, maybe if you want to get to know me, you should start by dancing with me
Experience how my eyes light up with Hope
How my hips sway with the same enthusiasm as my Ancestors did when they heard the drums
And feel my heartbeat jump from excitement with the possibility that maybe---
I can fly.

Quotes for the New Year!

"Solitude and reflection are necessary to give to wishes the forces of passions, and to enable the imagination to enlarge the object, and make it the most desirable." ~Mary Wollstonecraft

"If we listened to intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." ~Annie Dillard 

"I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it brusied or misunderstood." ~Audre Lorde

"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." ~Pablo Picasso

"Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing." ~Denis Waitley

"Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen." ~Frances Hodgson Burnetr



"If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." ~Roald Dahl



"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." ~Sameul Beckett

"Play the game for more than you can afford to lose...only then will you learn the game". ~Winston Churchill

Video Of The Day...

Bernard Wright
'Who Do You Love?'

YAS! This is one of my favorite songs and the video is SO CUTE! I love the part when they're rolling around...lol

Bonus Video:

Bernard Wright performing 'Endangered Species' in the  Wayne Shorter Band.

Aha! I see what they did there....

Earlier I was jammin' out to Sananda Maitreya  formerly known as the artist Terence Trent D'Arby on spotify and his song called 'To Know Someone Deeply is To Know Someone Softly' came on. As soon as I heard it I instantly recognize the beat. 

*sings* "Summer raiiiiinnn"- the song sounded just like Carl Thomas song "Summer Rain" or rather Thomas sounded like Terence Trent D'Arby.

So, I did some research and found out Carl Thomas & TTD both sampled the GENIUS that is Stevie Wonder 'Summer Soft' and Carl Thomas used TTD's version/beat.


SO, the music geek in me was overly excited about this and thought I would share. lol



Here are all three songs below:
