This is an ode to mothers. The people that tucked us in at night under the covers. The ones that show us so much love to the point it might smother. But we know it's all in good nature, so we still love her. The most critical person that must approve of her child's lover. Because love from your mom, you shall never know another.

She provides solutions, she nurses contusions, brings clarity to confusions, a source of amusement, a mother is somewhat of an illusion.

She can transform from your best friend, to a driver of a mini van to take you to school classes and practices that she says must attend.

We lean on our mother in times of stress and sorrow. They are especially handy if you need a little money to borrow. Because no matter how much you "mess up", they'll still love you tomorrow.

This is an ode to mothers, past, present, and future. That make the path to our dreams, such much smoother. Women that can truly be called life's nicest tutor.

Mothers, mothers this is an ode to you, so stand up in your spot. To the only people that can call full-grown men silly names like "poo-poo-pot". Because they carried us for nine months and felt us grow big, from just a tiny love knot.

A round of applause for mothers, who took care of things we could not, so that we need not worry about much. They truly freed our thoughts.

I fell in love with an old soul, that makes my heart pump warm blood instead of cold.

We clicked from the start and I knew I couldn't let her out of my heart because her touch was more valuable than all the gold.

Life threw us obstacles to test our connection and it showed us our very own reflections.

In the trying waters of life, my love revealed herself to me, and I to her.

Seems like from our first date to now is one hell of a blur.

My black queen loves so fearless, so noble and true. The same woman that I met, but still shines like new.

As I climb the ladder to my dreams and to change the world, I still find comfort in calling her my girl.

I could go on for eons, to infinity and beyond, about the magic we create by using our love as our wands.

But as I bring this poem to a poetic close, I thank life for choosing us two to juxtapose.

And I pray we continue blossom like a beautiful rose.

No human being can accurately judge another human's life, because no other human truly knows another human's strife.

I don't care if you're a student, or the Pope, or a killer with a knife, because every human has the ability to reason, no matter what the season.

So if you had lived through every single moment of their time on earth and endured their every joy and every hurt.

You'd see that every decision they made had a valid reason for them, and was an attempt to maintain their self worth.

Who am I to say that I wouldn't have made the same decision at the end of the day?

Everyone's life is a mystery to me, a world I'll never know, so I love every human, no matter what their record shows.

I urge you to do the same and separate yourself from society's labelling game and just look at the human and you'll see you're the same.

Hello valued readers,

I was on a vigorous mental stroll with my future buisness partner and long time friend today, Ms. LP. While we were on this stroll today we had an interesting conversation that I would love to share with you all.

Ms. LP posed the question, "What is the truth of all truths?"

We both pondered on the question for several moments. Our minds jumped to answers such as love, pain and other universal concepts. But for some reason we still did not feel at peace with these answers.

All of a sudden the answer hit me.

The truth of all truths is DEATH.

Ms. LP agreed with me and pointed out that all of the signs of Proverbs point to death.

Death is the something that is an absolute truth. We will all die but death is not the end as well should all know.

After death, oh the great liberating concept of death, you are no longer a human being contained by your earthly vessel, you are just a being, just consciousness, just holy spirit, just love.

We move on to non-physical existence.

"No body just soul" said Ms. LP.

Which naturally sparked a debate and shifted the conversation to Heaven and Hell.

I attempted to explain to Ms. LP that Hell could not exist. She was not so quick to agree with that point.

"Hell is the lack of the presence of God (our source) which could even be experienced here in our world," Ms. LP said.

I was quick to state my premise.

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. God (our source) is everything and there is NO PLACE where God (our source) is not.

I used the following metaphor to explained God (our source) to my long time friend.

We are all artist, the best artist ever, and we have a pencil that never goes dull and a never ending supply of paper. We draw until we get the perfect picture and everything is just right and then we go to the next thing. But God (our source) is the pencil and the paper. You have the free will to draw what ever your creative mind can fathom but you cannot even express your artistic ability without God (our source), the pencil and paper.......... and finally God (our source) is you... the artist.

You are God.

I am God.

Everyone.

Everything.

.....it all is just God (our source) recognizing ourselves.

Ms. LP was silent for a moment and then began to smile and I knew she had grasp the metaphor.

Readers, I would love to hear your comments and opinions on this conversation. Comment below and let us continue this conversation further!

On the subject of Love

I define love as an inner connection of spiritual existence in a physical world.

I'm talking about that real love, that can drive you mad and have one's emotions all in a swirl.

The love that you love and hate. This is truly when love is great.

Even since the age of eight, when I had the rest of the veggies to eat off my plate. I knew love was more than just someone to date.

See, I've learned that the expressions of love that most people crave to see on the television screens and at wedding soirees is the effect of the real love that just happen to be culminated on that day.

Listen to my words! And the things that I say!

The romantic love that many are teaching, actually comes from a form of love that no one even knew that we should be seeking.

This love I speak of comes from within. It's loving yourself, and looking at yourself as your number one friend.

Self-love! Self-love! Self-love! Self love!

If you're looking for a catch, use self love as your glove.

You must love yourself before you can love anyone else. So until you're ready, put your dancing shoes on the shelf.

This may require time and self-forgiveness. But one thing is for sure....

WITH SELF-LOVE THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

Continuing on my last post..

Do you really understand the magnitude of this concept?

In days of American slavery it was illegal to teach slaves to read and so forth. In today's time of American economic slavery, a term derived from "wage slavery" which refers to a situation where a person's livelihood depends immediately and totally on wages, it has effectively made it unprofitable to educate the poor in America. Which in a world dominated by the rule of capitalism makes it just as unlikely.

You keep the masses as an "effective labor force" if you make education out of their budget.

This needs to be changed!!

America.

I love this country, but there are somethings that could be changed to make our system better.

A point of interest for this topic is the fact that we do not have free college education available for our citizens, while many other countries enjoy this privilege.

A change like this would be beneficial to our society. There are many people that would jump at the chance to go to college and learn new things that could help them enhance their own lives and the lives around them.

Imagine, this would increase the number of our country's informed public. An informed public is a set of people that are educated and/or cultured.

We need to change the culture of our country for the better from the foundational level which is education!

At this point we are treating college as some sort of club that you have to pay expensive fees to be apart of and be privileged to information of your interest.

A truly free country is one where education is free.

I was on a nature walk a few days back and had an interesting thought. Bare with me.

The only way that our governments (state and federal) can implement a requirement or restriction on its constituents that will be recognized as constitutional by the United States Supreme court is if it deals with the general welfare.

This is per the "General Welfare Clause" in the constitution. According to the Legal Dictionary it is defined as " The concern of the government for the health, peace, morality, and safety of its citizens."

Providing for the welfare of the general public is a basic goal of government. The preamble to the U.S. Constitution cites promotion of the general welfare as a primary reason for the creation of the Constitution. Promotion of the general welfare is also a stated purpose in state constitutions and statutes. The concept has sparked controversy only as a result of its inclusion in the body of the U.S. Constitution.

In America a major problem is hungry people. But giving them food stamps allows them to go to the store and purchase food and groceries but doesn't require any work (other than some monotonous paper work).

I have the proposition that state and federal governments add to that system and designate government funded food banks in every city. Much like the federal government has a postal offices in every city. In these massive food banks would be controlled temperatured gardens and a wide variety of grown food that would be given out.

This would create more jobs in every city and give the area healthier free food!

The thought that came into my head while I was on that nature walk was Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, walking in a massive garden that provided free food and how amazing it would be if we had gardens on every corner that anyone could grab free food from and that everyone tended to.

The proposal I have may be a long shot, but my vision of free healthy food everywhere would definitely be a GREAT CHANGE for the general welfare of our country!
