"The rain was fallin' and, and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes | And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest | And I was his faithful concubine | Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens | The mistake was made | Love slipped from my lips | Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap | And us became new | Now me non-clarivoyant and in love | Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible | The rain was falling | And I couldn't see the season changing | And the vibe slipping off it's axis | Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato | The rain was falling and I could not see | That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized | And left to drown in his sunny afternoon | Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody" Love Rain I woke up this morning needing to hear my "Experience: Jill Scott 826+," CD ... That CD has to be one of the most positive CD's that I have in my collection to date. While browsing through this month's issue of Essence magazine (Yes, Even Males read this magazine ... Whatever happened to Code Magazine?!?) Susan L. Taylor had something real positive to say: "It's your business alone to make your life a success. So nourish your dreams every day. Keep them alive in the nonmaterial world and use your creative intelligence -- the great power within -- and make them concrete. This is what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God: You, too, have the power to create. See yourself holding that degree you want, or with a sweet life partner, in good health, and happiness. Make this the month you map out your plan and get busy." I think I need to co-sign on that statement (Not that it was really needed) but she's correct. If I don't map out my life plans -- Who will? I think I need to sit down with a piece of paper, a pen, and all of my ideas that I have from this point forward and get to brainstorming ... No if's and's or but's!
