Why can't I see?

- that those people/thing I give my self so honorably to; are the cause of my discomfort/misery.



- my desire has cause my mind's eye to be blind of what's really in front of me.



- that my bending my back is the soul reason for others being able to ride me.



- what I perceived to be love and concern is just really a means of getting or giving into one's selfish desires.



- life is in know way purpose for constant smooth sailing, and or can be by usage of pharmaceutical or sexual accompaniment.



- the person/thing I attach to for strength is weaker than what I am.



- being caught up in one's material and or monetary glories makes me dependent on whats not truly mine.



- see that my disregarding for advice freely given to me for my well being, causes me to be in my current state.



- I have to put a stop to the old in order to be able to start up for the new.



- I in no way myself or with the continually taking lead from the sources which has me where I now find myself; can ever cause the necessary guiding (divine spiritual) toward my place for purpose.

Which highway am I on?

Marriage/relationship finds it's base for existence on one of two highways; love and or desire, which causes; One the reason for traveling this path. Highways are made out of different structural base, reason being; for the support of potential or current travelers and the wear and tear which comes from time and the elements. Even after a chosen and travel being done on a certain highway; time allows you to feel the effects of what proves to be smooth or rough travel toward a desired destination; If travel after the fist two miles has proven to be rocky and so rough it causes the great car you got on the road in to shake uncontrollable, and with no evidential road signs passed or ahead for reaching your projected destination; evidently you're on the wrong highway.

Accountability

My talking to some what's suppose to be adults had me questioning there authenticity, reason being; there response to my question concerning the young, was; there's nothing that can be done with some of today's youth because they have their on way of thinking. When one realize he or she is the controlling factor in their place of domain; certain things and or sayings want be able to take root for growing with out their approval or permission, they call it parenting, and as for this not being able to get in a child's personal business (what rock is that written on). An Eagle is the strongest and highest flying bird on the planet, yet hunger and need for shelter in a bad storm will bring it down to earth with the rest of the fowl with wings.

I pity for these adults who have not the knowledge or courage for seeding hope.
(Pray for these kids/youth on account of those which leaves them hopeless)

Whats the cause of todays madness.

Hardly a day goes by with out us hearing about a tragedy which has befallen a love one are a member of society. Puzzling thing to me is how so much money is given over to study for the trying to understand and eliminate and or control the above mention. Has common sense lost it's way when it comes to being accepted and stored in one's brain. When a child is born into this world the only thing he/she is equipped with is the ability to cry out for pain or amazement, that being said, some are; but there is also great numbers with out the knowledge for being able to nourished and protect and provide the proper rearing for them not falling into are becoming sector to what exist already in the madness realm of selfishness, wicked desires and no need are intent to be guided or govern by a higher (Divine spiritual) order. Where there is no solid base, and proven for being able to support the weight and potential containment's of such structure which rest on top of it; with out doth; there will be a collapsing and collateral damage can prove to be quit severe in numbers.

- had you done your very best to accomplish your dream/desire,what your life could now be like.



- what if, your choice of friends and associates would have been different than the current ones.



- if you knew back then what you know now your life would be so much better.



- had you not been so bone headed when others proven to be wise try to give you advice.

A time of bonderies and injustices

How in such a short time there are some of the same who promoted an unjust system to govern and control others, and now themselves feel wronged by being monitor and govern by a some what similar system, put in place for their protection against sick minds as of those perpetrators of an earlier time.

Whites only!

No colored!

Colored to the back!

Hey boy!

Profiling has become a hated word, when at one time it was a lawful and systematic way for setting boundaries and controlling a certain cultrial sector (race of people).

It is a healthy thing to periodic revisit history for the attaining of knowledge which enables one to fight against injustices, and for fighting for justice.

My giant.

The love and care of a protecting giant can not be matched. When most people talk about the giants in their lives; there are those that hurriedly associate it as being the same as a child's imagination, OK; I'll buy that. At the beginning of my existence my giant protected me from all potential harm that had me in it's sight's and targeted for destruction. I can remember seeing my giant face hardships and lacking food while instead feeding me and my four siblings. My giant being strong and wise along with being gentle also, proven by; when been hug and carried there were never any marks are bruises, my giant voice was as rivers of strong but gentle waves, and the presence of my giant caused some to wonder how was it possible to exist in such small quarters and among so many adversaries and not be beaten down or deviate from protecting me and my siblings. My giant hands and heart extended far beyond what seem to be humanly possible, and my giant has never allowed it's strength and sometimes weakness to interfere or stop what was needed to be done for me and family, friends. My giant could and would stand against systems cultivated for the controlling and destroying of giants and what prove to be dear to them.Whats most rewarding and of great appreciation for me is how my giant use to and still do, talk with me concerning source from which originated and sustains it's strength. I pray that there are others with a giant like mine. By the way; my giant is four feet two inches in height and her name is mom!

Hi! got time for a little conversation.

OK my friend,family let talk! Today's way of doing and reasoning concerning certain life style and communicating can be some what puzzling. Most say that reason being; there is a need for them to experience certain situations for the acquiring of experience, that can be true up unto a certain point (boundaries). One can also gain knowledge for experience by listening to wise and experienced pre-travelers. When a male/female perceive themselves to be an island and is living in a vast Country or Nation,, life's so many different cultural make ups will prove to be quite difficult for one to be able to co-exist and or understand. What gain could there be for one who claims to see clearly, to throw sand into a rotating fan while standing two inches away; similar effects can result in one's refusal to the advice of wise counsel that is standing before them! are you still there? just checking. Gives you something to think about huh!!

In pursuit of a dream.

November, 23-2010


Time: 12:32 am


Location: Natz steamboat pilot house river front.








After reading about Tyler Perry interview with Oprah W in a Oprah magazine given to me by my wife,It caused me to reflect back on my life's journey back unto when I was about maybe six years old or younger and up to now. I could remember a happening back then of me cleaning weeds out of this very wise and elderly lady 's garden who we use to call Ma'many, she on that day came out onto the porch, look down at me with this amazing glow and smile and said to me God has something great for you to do, I was at that moment puzzled and all the way up into adult hood concerning that statement. Growing up in the 50's as I did most people would associate with being in poverty, that being as I can remember; Living in a two room rented apartment with no running water or bath facility inside, kerosene stove and having to heat water to bath in what was call a number three tub, which two adults an four siblings shared for bathing. My father help raise us along with my mother by hustling shooting dice and selling corn liquor, while my mother clean and iron for well off white folks. Even in that trying time of my youth my parents channeled us through the madness being generated by way of prejudices, which made it all most impossible for people of color (black) to expect or hope for any of the now possibilities tangible to success. I and my siblings attended school with the bare necessities. Simple thing as going to watch a parade was a sixty percent chance of getting beaten up by racists white folk and policeman, being chased by police dogs. With the strength given to me by two God serving parents I was able to finish high school,welding school and some college and safe journey through those times into adult hood which carried and still today it's challenges, that being; blocked away from certain opportunities on jobs (fair wages and promotions) while whites were not. I've always love working with the youth in enhancing their lives for productive living. I truly believe that my time spent around my cousin Eva Dykes while being a kid and watching the way she would use recreation and hands on with the other kids in the community played a great part in where my life's passion now is. I remember in the early seventy's a co-work approach me and asked would I have a problem working with white kids in recreational basket ball, my response was; of course not! he didn't tell me how racists the people in that community was though, lol! It took me two years to get black and whites to be able to play together in the same gym (boys and girls). I got married at twenty five years old , which lasted for ten years. I started coaching boxing/fitness and moral and educational awareness in the inner city in the early eighties up until the present time, I find myself still today waiting on the blessing of having my own boxing/fitness gym for the providing the kids and young adults an environment of safety , love, care while they pursue their dreams and or enjoy the moment while journey on their path to a predestine destiny. I am seventeen years married to my lovely wife Betty B. Joseph ,blessed with four kids and grand kids, we own a nice home (and the bathroom and running water is now inside). Because of the words of that elderly lady and Tyler perry's story I've been strengthen and will continue reaching for my dream/desire of owning my on gym. Thanks!to the both of you for the push! love! God Bless!!

Fighting chance.

Until parent/guardian acquires the knowledge and strength which is of absolute importance for the rearing of a child, their weakness in this area will play a great part in that child's life for the ability in combating against the awaiting evils in his/her life's journey.

There is a great deal of people holding on and following the lead of these so call leaders, rather it be rapper, clergyman or politician; when the necessary research haven't been done for finding out the origin of person/thing, there will be and eventual arrival at consequential destiny concerning one's choice for leadership.

False ID

It is sicking to me to see so much deception by the persons who I witness almost every day in some of these boxing/fitness gyms passing themselves off to be professional trainers, these people being trained by them have fallen for this are in no way headed to where they believe themselves to be going.

Fruits of a search.

In my search into the current path of society's glories this is what I found; I found women and young girls entrapped in devices and situations preconceived for their demise by way of their desires some good, some bad, but none deserving of the betrayal and horrors which attained rooting by way of these, I found men taking advantage and deceiving females through and by way of their (women) ability to express and give themselves over in the power of genuine affection, I found greed in-place of need, and I found Leaders feeding off of those they deceitfully betray, I found that, which is the only way to attack and destroy certain miseries and hardship, that being; educational facilities, Teachers, being under budgeted and numerous funding being generated for correctional personnel and structures which incarcerates, I found standing room crowds only at these so many young funerals, and numbers at the P T A'S which allows echos in the places of venue, I found parent/parents given over to games and non-productive conversations while kid/kids are allowed to roam any and every where UN-supervised, I found that there are many young and old that refuses to be held by or under any means of boundary (religion are government). Most sadly I found, many who have not the power are the understanding of what true Divine love really is.

Place of purpose!

I'm often asked why I do what I do when it comes to my work with the youth and young adults in boxing? My honest reason as for I know it to be, is purpose, reason stated; I really don't and haven in years the desire to be involved in professional boxing. Some of the kids I deal with are very talented in this field and have aspiration on becoming world champions, I willfully accept this journey as to guide them through what I know can be very trying and disheartening travel, because of the so many evils awaiting those who have no ideal of how money and fame can cause some to become. I haven any desire to be noted as this great boxing/famous coach, and my soul reason for my now involvement in the pro ranks are because the love I have ( that is as being a father figure) for a current and extremely talented female young boxer who has the desire of becoming a world champion. So as I said; I suppose I'm in my place of purpose.
