Before Your Faculties Leave You

...believe that self-reflection can serve you well. There’s nothing like enjoying Thanksgiving with people with their own interesting bottles of perspective. And when the time comes to share the wealth and have a tasting of all outlooks, stances and reasoning- well it can get a little like Biggie’s Party and Bullshit.

I mean you find out who thinks Obama’s insistence on revamping health care is going to ruin the country- from someone like say, a lifetime nurse who is a cancer survivor. With rebuttals to confront the short term memory loss of the gradual and deliberate degradation of one said countries image and word through insufficient foreign policies as ingredients for our current political stew.

(I know, I know, I can hear all the "awwwwwww -isht"'s now..)

Or maybe it’s conversation about the social stratification across our nation that is surely finance based. Swaths of class position, determined by your annual income, inheritance, lineage and or place of origin that color our landscape from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceanic coasts. Sound waves awash with sentences that tell of how two young black women would look a man like b.phlecksi parmella up and down at the World Trade Center, hone in on his Yale sweatshirt, and vehemently let him know, “YOU didn’t go there!”
(He’s let go of that, but sends a warm Thanks for the lovely introduction to the East, ladies.) In that simple statement, they let a young black man know so much more...
- whom was only in New York by invitation from a long gone art hero- Mr. Keith Haring.

Life most certainly has it’s challenges - our conviction is this:

No matter what your preoccupation or aspiration, if you can find the time to make sincerity, patience and introspection a priority- these practices will indubitably see you through the fires that will decimate your landscapes of safety.

The BWLP message at the dawn of 2010 is to adopt your heart with a conviction towards truth. Not a truth that so much bears your own stamp of approval- it's rarely that... but the truth of what is, right then and there- without thought immersed in pure experience-

and move with who you are- from moment to moment.

We understand that this philosophy doesn’t appear compatible with planning-
but we're convinced there’s a bigger one for each and every one of us.

BE about it y’all.
Blessings to you.

"..a rock on, and YOU don't stop!"
