for Lil Lannie: Quote:MARTIN LUTHER KING...

"'If a man hasn't discovered something that he would die for, he isn`t fit to live. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., (1929-1968), speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963"

food for thought....if this don't, It will

"The Poem

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees.. My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease..
All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear.. No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life. God looked into his book and said 'Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down... But never found the time'"

Black conscience thought...

The Black Report Quote of the Day:

'Every man and woman is born into the world to do something unique

and something distinctive and if he or she does not do it, it will never be done.'

PART III..where will I b resting...WOW!!

HEY, welcome...well here I am in Darleneya room

Here we are again, in the basement section over the fish tanks...

Another mask..this was had some snakes running through,

from what I understand every mask w/ something on it's

face represent a tribe

Dale's Dean where he was found by his children

this is the other end of the room..a nice peace way to live

This is there livingroom, the upper part of the home..

Dale Jr..looking at some Egyptian Artifacts

his dad found while digging one day..they

were buried under the ground where they

live..isn't that irontic..amazing..museum

pieces..cool here are some of the mask Dareneya found in a thrift

shop outside Dallas, her home is filled with them and I

just went berserk,examining all the many collections she

had..just Beautiful..:)

Check out this table..these natives are all wrapped

around, hugging one another..but what's so special

about this..It opens wide and the top glass drops n

to a larger size,the bodies open up..wonderful..cool

I think this mask was taking b4..but it's never overlooked

THIS WAS DALE"S FAVORITE THING TO DO....HIS FISH..LOVED

THEM..this is in the basement

My Place to hang out..she has a bar,music and entertainment

and african artifacts,@A55inch TV..i was in

I was in PARADISE...Whoopie!!!

I took this angle for a reason..it was where

I would sit, while relaxing in her livingroom..

and here we are..the basement ,where I did all my writing, thinking

meditating..and wondering just how does a love so beautiful, well put

together, he did all the ceilings, the floors, rugs, built shelves for their

family portraits and the is History..how i feel for her,i wanna stay right

here, never to leave her side, but I am i bwt 2 places right..i can't decide

this is where Dareneya gave up her space, so that i

can sleep by her side..I did..a couple of nights

but I loved that Basement..such privacy..she said

she was thinking of renting it out...my question..

to who??

I got settled in..was about to rest,

talk a lil bit, then retired for the next days activities..

which I knew what was in store for

all of us..plus .seeing my girl..her mother..

Was so happy to be there..her place is like

a mantle piece..with antiques of Black Artifacts

that made me wanna say..HONGOUWA..

WELCOME in african slang..what a beautiful

museum of african masks and pictures, she knows I

like things like this, she's afrocentric

like her aunt she she..Lol..loved it..the kinda way

I wanna live..in fields of dreams w/ an

artform beautiful, flowing through..

meadows of woman who represents their customs

revealing just how it is to this day..primitive,

like a leopard owns his property..not open

for sale of me..freedom..U dig...

that's my Thang..Freedom..

no world is large enough,but

just the right style

and history called..

home..Peace..Create..:)
