African Philosophy…
CONCEPT OF GOD
Early Africans
UNDERSTANDING
of
GOD
was that
GOD
is the creative force (ENERGY) that exists
in everything
culminating in
MAN
with
HIS SPIRITUAL NATURE
and
GOD – like
powers and potentials
They UNDERSTOOD
that we are all of
ONE ORIGIN
and
that the multiplicity of living things was simply
different LEVELS of evolution and attributes of that
ONE FORCE
They believed that MAN
was the highest form
and
responsible for the
CARE – TAKING
of all things…
Tink's ChapBlog ~ Tales of the Tribe. Mythopoeic Verse
….
Cold is the color
of mid-winter hoar;
gold is a feeling
I felt once before.
Nineteen-seventy
I hereby declare
the end of involvement,
unfairness of war.
So near and so far,
too close for some,
one dearly departed
from what once begun
as gold, now cold,
in the hot humid sun:
This is your weapon;
that was your gun.
The child knows his pleasure,
when the man looses fun.

POWERFUL WORDS… A POET TO PAY ATTENTION TO…
Stay your course, now do not trim
Your sails to reach me drifting
I want neither warmth nor rescue
From the autumn waves’ crashing
–
But to know the great and empty cold
Of the sea seeping through my body
To look upon the final visage of
Heaven and water’s wedded unity
–
For my bridal suit is yellowing
In a chest of cedar, miles away
With flowers from my darling fair
Pressed and preserved against decay
–
I want neither warmth nor rescue
I have chosen the coffin of the sea
For there is no precious Aurélie
Waiting in the window for me

As I Grow Older… Langston Hughes
As I grow Older
Langston Hughes
It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun–
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky–
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!
Words from a TRU POET…
The Nature of The EARTH…
Of the NINE planets that orbit the SUN completing
HIS CIPHER
the EARTH
is the only life-giving planet.
Being comprised of all of the elements in the
UNIVERSE needed to BUILD
and maintain life including
Water (WISDOM)
Air (unseen WISDOM)
fruit and vegetables
(KNOWLEDGE that feeds the mind and SPIRIT)
and
SUNLIGHT
(the spark of LIFE, the TRUTH that lays the FOUNDATION)
is the planet EARTH.
The EARTH is the MOTHER
the FIRST TEACHER
the one who nurtures
and
sees to the positive growth of her seeds
(SUPREME UNDERSTANDING).
The EARTH is the
SUPREME reflection of the SUN, HER GOD.
HER name
is not simply a word that is given to you at
BIRTH
it is a description of you
a definition
a reputation
a designation
an identification – it expresses who you are…
