All I can say is that there is NO BETTER piece with which to end my third season. This piece, my initial venture into podcasting, spoke, and continues to speak, to the political events that are occurring, RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.
In some ways I have become disillusioned.
Disillusioned that so many of US have decided to become quiet, OR ACCEPTING, of what is transpiring. Our zeal seems to have waned as it relates to the energy that is necessary to maintain a movement that was and is rooted in righteousness.
Disillusioned that so many seem to have accepted the bombardment of lies that seem to grow more and more pervasive each day.
Disillusioned that SO MANY CHOOSE to REMAIN QUIET!!
We are indeed ...
"Center Eye"
and the back side of this storm may indeed be even more cataclysmic than what we have already experienced.
Though I have grown to be disillusioned, I have not given up the battle. I shall continue to walk in a path of righteousness with an understanding that "Someone is Always Watching" and that oftentimes all one needs is to see and hear the strength that exists within another.
VOTE!
VOTE!!
VOTE!!!
OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!
PEACE!!!

This piece, my first to be published via podcast, is apropos considering what is occurring in state legislatures throughout the land. Listen closely, as this movement is assuming the characteristics of the storm that is the crux of right wing fringe groups. There are also those that are attempting to give the potential devastating effects of the movement to suppress the vote of MY PEOPLE short shrift(read as Mitch McConnell, among others)-thus granting tacit approval for the continuation of the efforts by those intent on relegating MY PEOPLE to the point of insignificance.
Our Spirit Lives!!!
PEACE!!
"Center Eye" was composed as I was completing my early morning walk through one of the local parks. The serenity of the deer , the dew and the fog that hung over the water stirred me to the allegorical content of this piece, especially in contrast to the racial tension that confronts persons of color at this point in time.
