The Realization
The Creator gathered all of creation and said, ‘I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality.’ The eagle said, ‘Give it to me, I will take it to the moon.’ The Creator said, ‘No one day they will go there and find it.’ The salmon said, ‘I will hide it on the bottom of the ocean.’ ‘No, they will go there too.’ The buffalo said, ‘I will bury it on the great plains.’ The Creator said, ‘They will cut into the skin of the earth and find it.’ Then Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said: ‘Put it inside them.’ And the Creator said, ‘It is done.’

Eshaum Gant – E-Dog – The Dawg Still Got It
Rest In Peace Eshaum “E-Dog” Gant. He was shot on Christmas eve and I took a while to gather my thoughts and be there for people that needed me before writing about it.
This is truly a tragedy. The murder of an 18 year old could be nothing less. I was at the hospital with his family the night it happened and their pain was unbearable. A mother should NEVER have to bury their child. The events of that night are unclear, and I’m not going to go into details, but the part about the situation that makes me tear up is that he was found ALONE. By some random cop who didn’t know him, let alone care for him. He shouldn’t have had to spend his last moments of consciousness alone and scared.
Something has to change.
I ask that you please keep his family in your prayers, even after the funeral today.
R.I.P. Eshaum Gant.

A World Of My Own
“At about the age of six or seven, I realized that of all the invisible powers the one I was destined to be most strongly affected and dominated by was music. From that moment on I had a world of my own, a sanctuary and a heaven that no one could take away from me. Oh, music! A melody occurs to you; you sing it silently, inwardly only; you steep your being in it;it takes possession of all your strength and emotions, and during the time it lives in you, it effaces all that is fortuitous, evil, coarse and sad in you; it brings the world into harmony with you, it makes burdens light and gives wings to to depressed spirits.”
-Herman Hesse
Beethoven Quote
“You will ask me whence I take my ideas? That I cannot say with any degree of certainty: they come to me uninvited, directly or indirectly. I could almost grasp them in my hands; out in nature’s open, in the woods, during my promenades, in the silence of the night, at the earliest dawn. They are roused by moods which in the poet’s case are transmuted into words, and in mine into tones, that sound; roar and storm until at last they take shape for me as notes.”
-Ludwig van Beethoven
