I never thought I’d see the day where apathy and panic simultaneously ruled the world…
Apathy translates itself in so many forms it must be truly pondered to allow you to even recognize it as such. Whether it be a crowded intersection that allows a blind woman to walk into moving traffic or something as simple as a door brushing your foot at a coffee shop where someone’s text message took precedence over not only your foot but a small remnant of respect taught by someone’s mother somewhere down the line.
The apathy that is allowed to bleed into a single soul eventually sears the fabric of society. Apathy causes direct pain to people that struggle hard with the depth of their skin and furthers the burden of the apathetic among us.
They say “anger is fear” this is a simple concept but perhaps it is time to get a grip on our fear and find Faith…
Faith can come in all forms and it should be allowed to be kept indeed private to those who wish it be. It should also be allowed to be sung strongly by those that have found a voice.
Faith can overcome apathy and everything apathy spawns, I have witnessed it myself in my own life.
It is a relentless pursuit, overcoming apathy…the mightiest tool of all I have found to attempt to wage this PEACE filled war between "good and evil" is JOY.
Faith bestowed must be honored for me and so I do honor my creator with the Joy that permeates my soul and my skin…at times I must dance simply because the Joy pushes my body into a rhythm that I can not, will not resist.
Aah…Panic
Panic can cause devastation like no other…
Panic weakens and paralyzes so that forward motion becomes an enigma. What ignites panic? Drama, pain and again that biggee, FEAR…
Where there is Faith, there is NO fear…where this is no fear the possibilities become endless. The Joy’s eventually begin to trip over each other yet we laugh as their momentum builds as we are reminded of the origin. Faith begets Faith…how lovely, how natural.
This Woman's journey as remarkable as any and shared with a free heart...please go back to the beginning and read forward. There have been recent dissapointing changes made somehow to my Blog without my consent. There were many Links available to my reader to many of the things that I speak of here...I will try to include many in my communications but I invite you to search out what calls to you in the meantime...happy travels

Tolerance and Peace...we can not have one without the other
It says in Ephesians 4 Verse 3 "Always bind yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with Peace".
How many of us live that? As always I imply NO judgement, only a question for each of us to ponder. This universally understood word seems impossible in application for a vast number of man...how sad that makes me on the deepest of levels.
Every day on some level I fight this battle...I consider it a personal duty as well as a Spiritual mission. It is for me a question of fulfilling a long ago promise between myself and my personal Savior. The Joy in doing this is it's own reward as mysterious blessings find me on my everyday path each day without fail...
Until the day we become blind to color, personal religion or lack thereof as well as financial stature and other crippling prejudice we shall remain muddled in our self created maze of confusion.
Wishing you Love and Light and of course...Peace, Amani

Swahili with Madison and I...
The Swahili word of the day is "Sankofa"...
Wikopedia says the word means "To go back and take" which initially gave me pause...as I read It explained further...
"It is okay to go back and take that which was yours" what I take this to mean considering the deep and intense Spiritual nature of the people of Ghana is to reclaim your dignity after pain riddled growth...
I will sing of Sankofa today inside my heart...!
SANKOFA- SAN-KOH-Fa
Such a worthwhile and beautiful venture...
Souls...
Do not put out my fire nor take issue with the strength of my Spirit for I will fly from your grip...
When two people unite it is a beautiful thing, let it pull either one backward in a struggle it clearly needs to be redirected. It is a primal thing for your soul to want to tarry alongside another...if we could package the power that ignites we could surely save mankind. The other side here is to risk a fire being deprived of oxygen...or so it seems for brief moments.
feedback welcome and appreciated always as it nourishes my journey as I hope to nourish yours...
Love & Light,
Malaika~Sharon
