” Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.”
– Victor Hugo, French poet and novelist
This “idea” was brought and paid for in April 2020. After years of saying “I’m going to do a blog” “I’m going to publish my writing” “I’m going to put it out there” etc. That was April, it is now July 2020.
This global pandemic gave me a lot of time to think and ponder my future. It gave me time to “complete the incompleteness” in my life. This blog is one of the things I have been “doing for over five years.” The time has finally come. As I sit here about to launch pieces I went over and over again. I edited and added again, uploaded images- some fit, some didn’t. I changed my categories at least three times. Not to mention the theme layout of the entire blog, but I did it.
In twelve minutes, it will be July 19, 2020 (eastern standard time) my birthday. The one gift I wanted to give myself, that no one else could give me, was permission to simply BE.
I’ve kept a journal of sorts since I was about thirteen years old. It was my therapist, canvas, venting wall, and it kept me “dancing on the ledge” when I wanted to “jump.”
I hope you enjoy the many musing that run thru this black man’s mind. Remember, this is a work in progress. It’s not perfect. It just wants to BE and now it is.
