Response to "Unchosen" because it sounds like you needs a pick me up.
Don't let us find you there. Whereever they left you and we have yet to begin.
So they think this or did that, it's the truth, and what we have to do is trace back to the earth, and swallow hard the narrow exceptions that God provides, even where it leaves us with --nothing.
Begin to see the truth in all its elements Orisha, and know that home Africa has new "progresses" that are less than the beginning. "Now" is the struggle to restore.
New griots reach past hairy backs and treelimb chairs into soul's aching desire to rule once again, to teach what's truthful, to put our hand into the pot of health and medicine, and begin to pull it back towards home.
Make ME law. So we can breathe the breath of the ocean again.
