Soul

He asked : "What is it that makes you so divine?

What is it that makes your SOUL shine?

Tell me so I can build you a shrine ...

Lay it all out ... a signal ... a sign

Don't show me a six and say it's a nine ..."

I replied with a smile and just one line ...

"Show Me yours and I 'll show you mine."

Serious Thing [01]

      Sam

He said, "The kind of thing You see too often in T&T"

You know something, Member of Parliament for Laventille West, I agree.

"Going to take this very seriously"... I really hope that You do,

Because these are the people who have voted for You.

"Wet him down" ... I'm really glad they didn't say "Spray"

Considering the Crime Statistics...Jah know! that could have gone a whole different way.

"Horrified" when he realized what was happening....

Yessss, for Two(2) days places including Beetham have been  flooding.

But he got "accustomed to loud-mouths and all manners of things"

"Who doh hear does Feel"... by the time he got there was "Wettin' after Wettings".

The people from his area; his hometown; his constituents, they felt some type of way

"It is not reflective of the way I will react to my constituents"... in the videos he waved Bye-Bye as in have a nice day.

On the Subject of Us

Sam

We are each complicated ... similar to a  Mathematical equation

Our body Language ... a clearly read sentence with a full-stop as the punctuation

Your energy and My energy ... maybe it can be termed as Physics

Combined though ... it's like a Chemical mix

Everyone prays in the end

Sam

At the happiest moment or on the darkest day ... that's the time most people pray

When a positive outcome is what We seek ... We Meditate; waiting to hear God speak

We Believe without seeing ... repetitively We chant with every fibre of Our being

In a Mosque, in a Temple, or in a Church ... "Seek and You shall find", so some of Us search

Disconnect to Connect; No devices, No phone ... sometimes the frequency is stronger when We're alone

It doesn't matter who You are; there is no restriction ... "Everyone prays in the end", I say this to You with much conviction 💛.

When I think of my growth, and who I use to be,
"You've come a long way..." are the words I say to ME.
I remember some of the situations I've been through,
Maybe as I go on, I'll mention a few.
I've learnt many lessons, resulting in a great respect for Time;
It heals all wounds... Don't waste it... It's not mine.
An Angel came down directly and taught that to Me,
The message was clear ... "Pain is Temporary".
With Time, I have grown into something some admire,
Time is what I used to push forward and ascend higher.

Beam 🌔

In the middle of the night...

The smoke signals, I've been ascending 

Did you get the messages I've been sending?

I'm dealing with the current and the pending

Random things in the mind but ALL trending

On and on and on....never-ending

In the middle of the night...

The volume was indeed loud

A deafening silence...there was no crowd

Just Me, the Moon, the Stars and that One Cloud

And after the Stars twinkled, they bowed

The Moon and I were surely wowed.

Pelau

"It's Friday! what's the plan? ... I want to hang out with You..."

In Trinidad they say "Wa Yuh for?.... Wa We go do?"
I'm always down for drinks and getting into the Friday mood,
But I love to eat so what about food?
Today I'm not feeling the pizza, fast food or bread
I'm thinking Pelau!... Yea that's what I said !
A one-pot... rice, peas, maybe beef or chicken,
Herbs and spices... it's definitely "Finger lickin'"😋
So I'll be leaving the office soon ... a little after 4 ...
Be sure to bring Ice and Sprite when You show up at my door

#TravelTuesdays

Blanchisseuse, North Coast, Trinidad

Its village was settled by the French, following the Cedula of Population,

An edict significant to the history of the nation.

Locally pronounced  "Blan-chee-shears"

Its beach is quite popular...been around for years

There is this spot you must see...where the river and ocean meet,

Trust me...it's where you should stand to wet your feet

Although getting there takes a while.... doesn't matter from which direction

It is worth it.... just to behold that kind of beauty and "Up Yuh Vibration"

Blanchisseuse, North Coast, Trinidad

Hiding Place

Eventually Soul mates meet, for they have the same hiding place...

Recognition? ... it's never face-to-face

When I'm there, I cannot be defined...

The location? ... it transcends the body and the mind

Without worries and absolutely No fear...

"Anytime You need Me, I will be there My Dear...

 I swear."💚

Real Talk

I should take that time to do something that makes My Soul happy 
It would be great to practice that daily... 


Creating time for my "Self" is easier said than done
But then I considered Life...and concluded, there's just One.



My Soul deserves to be happily living,
When it is, there is a surplus of energy.... you know, the good kind...enough for giving.


I will admit tending to My Nephesh may be a little overdue,
"Let Me live, that I may praise You"...

Traveling Light

I let go.....I was ready to vibrate Higher and at the speed of Light...

Often enough, having extra baggage with us holds us down from full Ascension. 

To keep going up or to keep on reaching higher levels, leaving behind the extra weight is essential.

It's important that You stay F.L.Y.🚀
