  • THE OFFERING

    strong jaw, strong fist, clenched tight

    you were born ready, born for the fight

    soft heart, gentle eyes, loving smile

    you died ready, ready for me, and ready for we

    to step up, and ground in

    to all love a life connected as kin

    i’ve seen your pain Papa, i’ve seen your tears,

    and as you started to lose your mind, i also saw your fears

    don't worry Papa, we will carry your medicine strong

    we won’t let you die in vain, your wisdom carries on

    this is not the end of the story, with every death is a birth

    we love you, we miss you, thank you for your blessings, while you were with us here on earth

    Rest In Power

    THE MEDICINE SUMMARY

    In this episode, I share my journey of experiencing my grandfathers death 4 months before it happened in this physical dimension... and how that impacted both how I felt upon receiving the news from my grandmother, and my ability to hold space for my relatives during their experience of loss.

    THE BLESSING

    "Can you feel, can you feel the drum?

    Can you feel, can you feel the thunder?

    Vibration, in your soul.

    Vibration, just let it go.

    Feel the drum, in your chest.

    Feel the drum, in your spirit.

    I’m alive, I’m alive in you.

    You’re alive, you’re alive in me.

    We’re alive, we’re alive in we.

    We were blind, and now we see.

    Stomp those feet!
    And clap dem hands.

    Feel the beat!
    Jump out yo seat.

    We Flying high-ya. We Flying high-ya. We Flying high-ya.

    Root it in-oh. Root it in-oh. Root it in-oh.

    Feel the flow-Uu. Feel the flow-uu. Feel the flow-uu.

    They said death was for the taking and bread was for the making, but that didn’t scratch the surface of this life i was forsaken.

    I’ve been blasted, fasted, tied up, spread out and masted.

    I’ve been beaten, dig those cleats in, hated on the stages I be speakin.

    But still I rise! No matter how many wish my demise!

    I’m Connected to Source and the truth that it provides!

    I stand tall! With wings on my back, the tattooed black angel, watching his kingdom stack."
