Anything else you'd like to share:
Some of the things I love about life are: the scenery of the white lines on the highway at night... nibbling on a lover's neck and feeling him yield himself to me... the way wind feels on my body, or the way it sweeps around the bedroom as I lay snuggled under the covers... spooning with a special friend all night... the sound of music from an acoustic guitar being played with melodic and rhythmic authority... the smell and taste of a black man's dick... being tantalized by a warm mouth as my nerve endings dance... pushing myself up into my baby, lost in the love of him... having him receive me whole and hungrily push back against me for more... public speaking... creative writing... beauty in any form... the open sky... starry nights... dreadlocks… androgynous men… spending time alone… spending time with my friends... finishing a project... sensing something Greater than myself in joyous bursts from the center of my chest... the surcharging silence-smile of Self in my meditation...waking up... answered prayers... the distraction of strong attraction... connecting with someone "on the high level"... witnessing someone's love for me being displayed… the opportunity to be of service to others.

Can you believe it?

I haven't shed a tear or been deliriously happy yet over Obama's election to the presidency. YOUNG PEOPLE may have the privilege of taking Obama's victory largely for granted. I think I'm still in a state of shock...

Yes, I am saddened by the news in Nigeria. And...there are people all over the world who are insisting that this type of ignorance and brutality be transformed. It is happening. Keep standing as your luminous, brave self. I does make a difference every day. Thanks for your blog. Sending appreciation your way.

Hey, Thanks Yeah I realized right off it was a scam... LOL.. while I may be one of the worst in terms of grammatical errors their poor grammar is always a give away...usually they are Russian... I too hang tuff with Tribe...but they keep testing my faith...LOL... That and umm I am sort of feeling its becoming sort of cliquish... I seem to get a bit more AGE discriminated against there by certain groups and people... but I still like it. They really need to get the software together... I have a hard time editing things after I post them like my Vid's from Youtube... And Thanks for the note...
