This post was channeled under “Friends” on FB but your sharing would be a sign of caring: as “The mind is a garden, and our thoughts are the seeds. We can plant flowers, or we can plant weeds” William Wordsworth. It has been written in five parts, in book form, and will be sowed separately. Characters, Setting, Plot, Conflict, and Resolution. By the grace of God, born a “Black Boy,” this was “Destiny,” and with divisiveness watering the fields, an “Instinct” sprouted from “The Seat of the Soul.” But the question remains, “Where Do We Go from Here? “It was a Call to Conscience.” Initiated seven years ago by a “Knock at Midnight,” accentuating “The Audacity of Hope” for “The African Americans Many Rivers to Cross.” A minuscule of book titles that have filled the cockles of my heart.

I call it a Mini scroll. Titled “Cordial Communications.” I was energized by a recent conversation with my soul about a rhetorical comment made by an individual from one of my several private groups. These groups share and promote unity through book reading and discuss the causes and effects of life’s inequities, which often lead to divisiveness. I am a conversationalist, not a gossiper, harvesting a “what he said, she said” mentality or a disparager of another. I write and share picture quotes, short stories, etc., on www.bookmystory.net, which became metastasized by my DNA, replicating a foundation for my obsession, the realization of climatic change, and the need to change the climate of hatred. Unfortunately, there are always those genetic poopers who run amuck. A question was asked in one of my groups. What is your identity? How do you like to be addressed? American, Black American, African American, etc., etc. With the response I made, I was personally trolled. Generally, my response would be to offer the devil a seat and walk away because Satan cannot stand to see you blessed. On this occasion, the fruit was in the pudding, and I decided to lower the ladder to add a pinch of sage, as my mother would say. Please feel free to copy and share, harvesting the saged-minded if your heart is free of pepper and aligns with your soul.

The Setting is soon to come.
