Aries: Fire Sign. Water cools me down.

In my opinion, meditation is purely subjective. I've grown to understand the spirit that
resides within me--peaceful, vibrant, and curious. I call her "she."

Thoughts for today:

Remain unresponsive to nonsense/bs.
It isn't enough to know my own worth, I must act as if I do too.
God is ever present, speak to him truthfully and He will bring peace.
A career & work are two different entities. I choose to have a career.
Friends bring so much laughter & joy into my world. Pray & build always.

As if I needed more confirmation, my horoscope states:

"If you've been feeling tired or sick lately, this will probably turn around for you, Aries. You may 
often experience moodiness, and this can be a real drain. Your emotional state can affect how your 
body feels. Be sure to take care of your feelings as well as your body. If there are things that need 
to be worked out, take care of them today. The two really do go together."


...off to take care of myself.

Poem

♥

I wrote this while listening to The Roots "You got Me," inspired by beautiful "in your face,
in love" couples who have a strong hold on their individual selves. They are friends first and
always, lovers to the end.


Love Reminder

I had once forgotten
that love was not a hello and a goodbye
or a you versus me or constant sound
of your please baby
baby don't leave.


I had once forgotten
that it was much greater than lust
till you came
brushing away blues from under
momma's old rug
and under my thick-soled shoes.


And when Motown came through
brothas with funky fros bumpin hips
and lips with sistas 
in unison
singing "ain't no mountain high enough"
"ain't no valley low enough"
I asked my God to take me
to a valley
where you be.


where we breathe
talk deep heavenly thangs,
in harmony.


I had once forgotten
that love is a big wig meeting
between two heavy weight champs
that walked away holding hands.


that's real.
