Man with golden voice/ we salute your mastery/ thank you for singing/ I still remember where I was when Luther passed. I was visiting my sister in New York, and I was sitting in her window trying to catch a breeze on that hot day. When the news flashed over the radio i was heart broken. Luther was a master at what he did and inspired me in many ways. I remember in high school I just lipped synced Luther and the ladies rushed the stage. it was incredible to see what the power of his voice could do. I had my first slow dance off of Luther, and may have had sex for the first time after listening. So it is only appropriate that I salute this Master with a truly golden voice:

Being that it is America's birthday I wanted to put something up as a gift. I was thinking about the how The USA started out as a republic. with many problems that confronted the young Nation. Then a few gentlemen decided to build something else. there are more than enough enough conspiracy theories out there so i want add to them, but I do want to salute the republic that has been on a path of Empire building for some time now. It is funny to me that the story of America is beginning to sound like the Star Wars saga; here is my salute: Happy Bday to the American Empire....

Friedrich Nietzsche : "Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?" It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom. -Dee Hock When a fly does not get up off a dead body, it is buried with it. -Ashanti Brother Ha2tim SelfMasteryCoach Nation Builder HipHop Philosopha & Shaman

Sold soul at crosroads/ they say because his music/ was beyond this world/ This the centinial for Robert Johnson a blues man that became legendary after he died. Im am sharing this information because on the Journey we are tasked to find examples of mastery. If you take a little time to listen to him you will understand what I mean. This man sparked a whole generation of blues men and inpired another generation of rock and rollers with his style of strumming the guitar, lyrics, and most importantly his story. Robert Johnson died young and the legend of his life still lives to this day. It was said that he recieved his gift of nusic from the crossroads where he sold his soul to the devil. His music echoes this theme with songs like "hell hounds on my tail, crossroads blues, and etc.. His music was full of imges that can be taken as occult, and mystic. Now for those that study history and myth understand the signifcance of the crossroads, and we also know that it was not th

Here is a letter shared with me by one of my elders, and now I share it with you. Leonard Peltier Remembers Geronimo Pratt 15 June 2011 Greetings to all my friends and compatriots, Everyone it seems knows something about Geronimo Pratt. To all of us, to every human being on the planet, he was a beacon of principle that we should all aspire to emulate. To those directly involved in the struggle, he was one of those gifted, tough as nails warriors who not only had the vision to know what was right, but the strength and courage to stick to his convictions no matter the cost. When he had to be, he was a terror to his enemies. To me, he was a friend and an ally. I met him in jail of course, so many years ago. He always had so much of my respect. He gave his all to the fight for liberation, justice, and equality. His effectiveness as a man and a leader can be measured by the extent to which the enemies of justice and equality went to in order to try and silence him. It wa

Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind. ~ Aristotle Even when the crocodile is in need, it finds its meals in the river, not in the forest. -(akan) Brother Ha2tim SelfMasteryCoach Nation Builder HipHop Philosopha & Shaman

Momentary flash/                                   Of insight into all things/                                         Don't try to grasp it/ Sitting in a airport having flashes of a future time where I will be spending time traveling around the world doing SelfMastery™ trainings, and personal coaching sessions. I saw a video in the hotel last not stumbling around the Internet. I needed to do a lot of work but I was not in a state to work, and I decided to look for some new information on the net. I had some ideas to blog about from the National Charter School Conference I was attending, plus I had some work I needed to complete before the end of the month. I simply decided to go to sleep. When I woke up I still did not feel like touching the keyboard, but thoughts began to poke me. Taking pen to paper I allowed the Ha2ku above to flow out and now here we are. Those moments, those fleeting moments where everything seems to make sense. They hit and seem to be gone in a
