I Am Beginning To Realize…As In “Make Real…”

rewards

unquestioning

trusting

obedience

to a

mysterious

nameless

Inner Directive

that places one’s feet

for one…

step by careful step

along paths both

known

and

unknown…

As I Sat In The Silence Today…

as I sat listening within…

contemplating the new life that is about to enter the family…

so soon after the suicide of my beloved grandson…

I heard these words:

“it is

BLOOD

and not the

CHURCH

STATE

that determines and defines what is

FAMILY

and the

“RIGHTNESS”

APPROPRIATENESS

of relationships between and among humans…”

such is the strangeness that drifts into consciousness

when one’s mind sits idle and open…

such a re-making of one’s worldview…

such a re-seeing of reality

and

re-ordering

of one’s

cultural indoctrinations…

such strangeness

born of a mind and heart not engaged in the mindless madness of the world…

such an exquisite awareness of what is

REAL

and what is

NOT…

Today I Listened Deeply

Healing Childhood Wounds; photo by Toni Roberts

I quieted the

Inner chatter…

Shut down the

Drunken-monkey-mind…

And using my

Heart

As a

Listening Apparatus

I tuned into the

Inner Silence

at the

Core of my Being

I am learning daily how to hear

Truly…

And thus become the

Human Receiver

Came

This

Way

Be...

Drumming Back To Freedom…

Photo by Toni Roberts; Djembe

Ah…

the weather is finally warming…

soon it will be time to

return to the

park…

to the

drums…

drumming back to freedom

under the heat of the city sun…

back to

Africa…

back to

freedom…

Yemaya–Photo by Toni Roberts

dancing to the call of the

orishas...

in the wild abandon of

forgetfulness

we are back in the

bush...

Tools for Journeying…Photo by Toni Roberts

released from our

rat-infested tenements…

from the

drugs

crime

grinding poverty

and

devastation

that has not abated since first they

dragged us

bound

and

chained

across the waters

to this

new world…

this new version of

hell

called

modern

western

civilization…

Grandfathers and Drum; Photo by Toni Roberts

and so…

in the noisy

crowded summer heat

of a Harlem park

we beat our drums

and dance our way

back home

Africa...

to the

Motherland…

Freedom…

SURRENDER…Part Two…

Photo by Toni Roberts Central Park, NYC

SURRENDER…

complete

absolute

total…

the only intelligent thing to do

when caught

broken

weeping

and

powerless

between a rock and a hard place

The Sweet Balm Of Surrender…

Photo by Toni Roberts

I am bathed in serenity

In the sweet balm of surrender

To that which knows

From whence I came

And why…
