Reblogging once again. I didn’t hear myself the first time. I was sitting in the back. I’m working my way to the front of the room so I can get the message loud and clear ✌🏾

The Truth Will set you Free

If the truth is God

and God is the word

Then the word is truth

And truth will set you free

Then you must know the word to know the truth

You must know the word to know God

And you must know God to know the truth

And if God is Love

And Love is God

And God is truth

Then Love is truth

And Love will Set you free

To Know God is to know Love

And to know Love is to know the truth

That the truth is Love is God

And God, as Love, will Free you, with Love.

Coming soon

Why do we care about our images

why do other people care about the images they surround themselves with

how do we let images effect us

what do images invoke

what images do we evoke

how does my existence coincide with my image

what does my image say

what do I want my image to say

how does it make you feel

how does it make me feel

does it matter

why do we think it matters

why do we make people think it matters

what matters

the balance or the imbalance 

the presentation or the thing

why does the idea matter more than the truth

does it

to whom does it speak to

to whom does it matter

me or you

why

Dead and no way to remember and memorialize them. Gone with no connections, no heirlooms… that shit hurts.

And that is exactly why they didn’t want them reading and writing! They knew that written documents could be used as pieces of history to connect us

Sometimes I stare into the mirror trying to see if I can see my soul . Sometime I see something scary. Sometimes I see me . Sometimes I just notice my eyes, and the shadows of the eyelashes.i notice my nose and all the pores that are open and the ones that are clogged. I notice a lot about me , but I don’t always see me. Sometimes I don’t trust mirrors.sometimes I think they’re lying to me. Sometimes I want them to tell me the truth. I want them to show me me. But it’s hard to see what I see and accept what I see. Because what am I really looking at? I was looking for me but did I see me ? Or did I see my eyes. Or did I see my soul? What am I ? Who am ? What do I see? What does everyone else see?
