A since of purpose ... I LOVE YOU!!!
Peace and love Happy Kwanzaa On the fifth day the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red, the farthest right green, the next red and then the next green candle. This represents the 5th principle of Kwanzaa - Nia (NEE-ah): Purpose we must continue the tradition and uplifting the community thru rites of passage for our sons especially now and mentoring programs for our young sisters. We must make this like our tithes a year round continuation to our sustainability as a people giving back to the hood unselfishly without pimping out people because we all must LOVE one another sister and brother. Just do it because ... I love you family just because I love you. Peace to all with my ending until tomorrow another day of light Insha'Allah . Lepadah

Beginning anew,thankful & reflecting.
As-Salāmu `Alaykum good people. Anew beginning people is upon us. I wish for us to be mindful of all those who are not present making their transition to a restful place. So much sadness, unnecessary hate, we are living in the killing fields unable to detach ourselves from racism,violence,greed. Our Holy books reveal days of tribulation times difficult to deal with, famine through out the land, turmoil between parent and child, financially bankrupt with no clear future only a civilization that is destine to fall with our proclaim power we are powerless against the Supreme Being and the elements of nature. Prophets, Rabbis, Minister offer little comfort at moments when truth is hard to hide are mask over. My shades have been removed and I refuse to see another picture. Remember the joy, anguish of heavy hearts and forgiving souls. Remembering the great ones . . . and the lost. a special prayer out to the one who know me best that unlock my chest, viewed sin and capture alight. I would like to wish a an early HAPPY BORN DAY to warrior, noted historian, writer and Legendary Afrocentric scholar, who will be celebrating life at the fine age of 95 this New Year Eve. A marvelous King amongst us to still feathering knowledge to the mass thank you in name of the Beneficent for gracious mercy allowing this warrior presence. Peace onto Brother Sharpton, Sadig, Mandela, President Barack Obama … the list is endless. Peace and be bless . Universal Love to all. Special thanks to The Amsterdam News for disseminating necessary information to the Village . Congratulation to my beautiful daughter Yasmine and Kylan on their soon be jumping the broom... Love you both lol ... Also let not forget Brother Sadig Jama today your prayer ...Allahuma rabbi-nas adhhabal ba'sa, ashfi wa entashafi, la shifa' illa shifa'uka shifa' la yughadiru saqama.

As-Salāmu `Alaykum good people. Blessing out to the universe, peace and tolerance. Rev. Al Sharpton is shedding light this morning on 107.5 fm. During this chaotic season of Holiday celebration and tragedies one can not ignore those who are still suffering from Sandy, Sandy Hook, Fiscal Cliff quagmire and parables of life which must acknowledge . Baby it's cold outside and my thoughts and prayer goes out to Far Rock etc who are still unsettle and displaced. As we all know the status of the historical Lenox Lounge which I've for the past few weekends attending terrific jazz sets staying to the wee hour and the last jam and yes this is it . I must say the Lenox is still jamming until the perspective date so I want to encourage all to go listen to some super beautiful LIVE music in The Village of HARLEM! Special prayer out to a really beautiful brother those who kniw of what I speak let me say ...Allahuma rabbi-nas adhhabal ba'sa, ashfi wa entashafi, la shifa' illa shifa'uka shifa' la yughadiru saqama.

Mind medley by Lepadah - Draft II
A Mind Medley
Let his music play
not yet; unless
freeing marred heart
married comic roots; never rooted
plant his hefty contralto
warbling melodic enter course ears to hear
groan,moan, howl intensity
groove move divas into danceteria
red light district, red parrot's, Adam's red apple
inferno confess flames
float lifted carriages
arm full steatopygia women
cut loose bridle caboose
raise her natural rhyme
determine spirituals
shouting souls of card counting Christians
flood rose land rhythm chronicles
dice/chip slam casino tables
able to express yourself
let his music play
deep dig the grind of sanctified organ keys
knight in gal detail
maroon mashing floor
swing swans definition
Bearden "Black Odyssey"
strobe stencil experimental
faddy webb wit trick those sticks
clicking drum dribble
wand diviner knot Mobley instead of Trane
same old thing
no more runs on familiar tracks
set "a caddy for daddy"
I like old things, seasoned & meaty things
intelligent, mystical rings
for bells to tell tales
warriors to shear
those to hear the strip of gut strings
to let the music play . . . on & on
