Soft Notes On The Wind

Reflections on Procrastination:

Pondering the Patterns and Possibilities of Delay

Procrastination: Shelter for Aspirations

Today, I found myself not only considering my own patterns but deeply questioning the essence of procrastination itself. Why is it that countless others often get caught in this recurring cycle? At times, it feels as though putting things off serves as a protective embrace for our dreams and ambitions, keeping them tucked away where they’re safe from reality’s harsh light. By postponing action, we create a space where our hopes and ideas can exist without the immediate pressure to be realized. Could it be that procrastination is less about avoidance and more about nurturing creativity in a hidden, unpressured realm?

The Dual Nature Of Delay: Imagination Versus Action

Delaying tasks can sometimes be a means of allowing ourselves to imagine endless possibilities, letting our minds wander freely without the c...

Soft Notes On The Wind

The hush of midnight leans against the veil
A secret tide that carries us to sail
Silver threads drift through the quiet air 
Binding the vow with tender care

A flame hums softly in the hollow dark
Not burning, but glowing, memory’s spark
Shadows bend where silence lingers 
Edges softened by gentle fingers

The horizon sighs, folding into dream 
A rhythm flowing without a seam
Velvet hours bloom across the sky 
Soft petals opening to whisper why

A single breath becomes a sovereign song 
Woven in cadence that drifts along
The night dissolves in rivers of light 
Each stream a promise shining bright

Divine presence crowns the dusk with grace 
A candle guiding through shadowed space
Every silence glow with secret fire 
Etched in chambers of deep desire
The stars unravel, silver decree 
A vo...

Men’s Health During the Colder Months

Understanding the Importance of Managing Chronic Conditions and Staying Active

As a Board Certified Nurse, I have observed unique medical challenges that can hinder longevity, especially among African American men. Factors such as higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and prostate issues often impact this population more severely, requiring tailored approaches to care. It's important to address not only physical health, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being to ensure our Kings are truly thriving.

While I frequently reference Queens in my medical journal, pertaining to mental/physical awareness, let me make sure I am equally focused on supporting our Hebrew Kings. Encouraging regular check-ups, promoting heart-healthy diets, and fostering open discussions about mental health can empower African American men to overcome obstacles and maintain vibrant lives. By nurturing the whole person, we can help build a foundation for longevity and holis...

How African American Women Preserve Culture, While Learning To Empower Themselves

African American women, we have long stood as pillars of strength, unity, and hope in our families and in our communities.  In every generation, we have gathered, we have shared wisdom, supporting one another, and holding fast to traditions passed down through the years. Today, our resilience is more vital than ever, as we balance the demands of daily life, nurture our mental well-being, and empower ourselves and others through new skills and collective action.

Preserving Lineage And Culture

Passing on heritage and values is central to the African American experience.  The sacredness of women coming together to celebrate family stories, honor ancestors, and teach cultural traditions to the next generation. In my French Haitian Creole lineage. Whether through family reunions, storytelling, or cooking time-honored recipes, these gatherings keep the spirit of the community alive. Children learn the importance of their roots and the pride th...

The Downfall of America: A Crisis of Social Supports II

Welcome to the New World Order. I have always stood steadfast in my observation: the chaos of this world will never boil down to Black and White. No, it will come down to the Haves and the Have Nots. That outdated ideology of racial superiority is no longer a manifesto for anyone to hover around. If you continue to believe in that falsehood, you will walk around hungry like everyone else. If you have a sick child at home, you will be at the mercy of yourself as being a parent.

I hope everyone has prepared for the darker days of America. It will come down to survival and unity. We were led to believe a civil war was imminent, but those scenarios only manifested in thought when you had your blinders on. In the end, once those blinders come off, you will realize that we, all of us, We the People, are sinking on the same floating boat.

Those same ones who holler “racism” are out there protecting systems that no longer serve them. And when you look ar...

This Is A Man’s World

This Is A Man’s World
B.C, before his plans, his dreams, his naked genuineness unfurled for man to be
Ingenuity of the presence of domination, his stance in A.D reality
The first man of this realm, a loyal devoted trustee
Autonomous of this world’s essence
His lab formulated pestilence
Cries ringing out, western civilization, bullets spraying from his manmade weapons  
 
This Is A Man’s World
His passion, his sphere as he roams, his pearl
Summit of intellectual minds
Yet, peace so disquiet to unify in these perilous days and time
His wondrous deeds, his powerful drive to rule, his downtrodden greed
The right hand of God’s biblical creed
Fruitful of his loins as he spills forth his sacred seeds
 
This Is A Man’s World
Artificial Intelligence he secretly creates
Clonin...

Directing Through The Lens Of Immortality

I elevate, not cast, I choose the scene
A sovereign soul in satin sheen
God is my compass, Gaia my ground
The moon scripts silence, stars resound

Mythic movement, clouds part gently at my command
I walk where legacy dares to stand 
Each breath a cue, each glance a frame
My crown unseen, yet all proclaim

Rebirth flows through my golden pen
I write the now, erase the then 
A Nubian Queen within, no need for a throne
My voice directs what’s mine alone

Destiny waits, but I call “Action!”
God whispers lines with sacred traction
I film with faith, I edit with grace
The saga is mine, I set the pace

The sky bends low to watch me move 
The stars align to match my groove 
Mother Earth hums beneath my feet 
Her rhythm makes my power complete

The moon reflects my quiet might
A mirror made of silver light

The Downfall of America: A Crisis of Social Supports

Examining the Consequences of Ending SNAP, Section 8, and Medicaid (Part I)

In recent years, the stability of America’s social safety net has become increasingly uncertain. Discussions around the discontinuation of vital programs such as SNAP Benefits, Section 8 housing assistance, and Medicaid for low-income families have sparked fears of widespread hardship and societal upheaval. These programs have long served as lifelines for millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet, and their removal could have devastating consequences for the nation as a whole.

The Impact Of Ending SNAP Benefits

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) does provide food security for families living below the poverty line. Without this essential support, then an increase in hunger and malnutrition rates would likely surge, especially among children and the elderly.  

Some citizens who depend entirely on SNAP would also...

Once In A Beautiful Lifetime

Once in a beautiful lifetime there comes a spiritual soul of a man, a strong existence whose aura fits within the lock of my life to turn the master key, exploring the seven voyages of my lunar Chakras.

Scaling the reverent awareness of my inner thoughts, touching the efference of my Chi, kissing upon my queen’s nature, heightening my sacred revelations spoken in spirituality and in truth.

In the dominion of reality, my head bowed in reverence, the gift of blind knowledge, waiting to be exposed, appreciated, utilized.

Lessons of ancient taught and deciphered, gainful knowledge escaping through the portals of my French Creole Haitian heritage.

Earnest whispers to adhere, the cadence expressed much louder for my mind to absorb, my heart to adapt, my soul to take luxury unto.

His manly handprints in life kissing upon the soft craters of my moon, feeling the warmth, the beauty from the illumination, lighting his path, his footst...

Bathe Me In Moments Of Serenity

Immerse my whispers in the calling of seductive moonlight
Lay my soul bare on the bed of your mental cortex
Hearts infusing serenity within the depth of our moving temples
Infatuating my soul, intoxicated by the elixir of your sacred manly creed, your crown
As you instill my core with hidden truths of today

Kisses upon my lips, staining them of now, yesterday
Tongues binding yonder of tomorrow
Your skin I ravenous the taste, my King
The closest to worshipping the silhouette of God’s beautiful first creation
Take me higher beyond the clouds, our bodies softly shuffling, landing among the stars

Our breaths of enlighten we come
Bowing unto the skies as we call out Selah in union
Suspending me in the hereafter

Surrendering of me as you part the ingress of my sacred Chi unto you
Clenching me as silk to your mighty Hebrew wool
Our temples cradled in Utopia ecstasy
Your o...
