I’ve always believed that we shouldn’t celebrate the season without faithfully understanding the reason.  I also know that a rainy day won’t last forever because; “A Change is Going to Come.”  In 1964, I saw the world outside the bubble in which I was born: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Fifty years later, in 2024, the ugly continues to exacerbate the bad while diminishing the good, leaving no peace or goodwill on earth. Sam Cook was shot and killed by Bertha Franklin. Tupac Shakur was shot and killed 32 years later, not to mention the thousands of non-public souls across the nation on the daily. This alone should generate a lesson of unity under the blessed and a reason for harmony through sharing from the seat of our souls. It’s a beautiful thing when people listen to share the spirit of others while delineating hate. We can progressively hear things into existence, thereby codifying the presence of others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEBlaMOmKV4
