tye-off

we were young...having fun

and we wanted to go higher

I lay on clouds left my body

and he lay on me



we were young...having fun

world wasn't as big as it is now

since he been gone

thought he wouldn't leave me fo the clouds

living young

eyes wash way all my happiness

glossed over my dreams of

being young and in love

having fun



took me so high

he took me so high

over clouds...and it was fine cause

The Quotable Michael Jackson

Singer Michael Jackson August 29, 1959-June 25, 2009







When a friend expressed her sadness over the recent death of Michael Jackson, she was surprised to hear me say I never paid much attention to his music or videos. I like different kinds of music but in the past few years noticed that I particularly appreciate classical music and modern New Age music with strong classical influence. Then my friend said Jackson was… Continue

Your Heart is a Beautiful Garden by Choedak Trutsik

(The Mahabodhi Temple Gardens courtesy of www.reep.org/gardens/buddhism/)











Your heart is a beautiful garden

and my friendship is a small rose in your garden…..

Please do not pluck that rose

for any reason or condition.



Your heart is a large ocean

and my friendship is a golden fish in your ocean…..

Please do not drive that…

Waiting Out Hurricane Ike at Grits.com

(banner from Marlive Harris' Grits.com)





A few days before hurricane Ike started to blow his nose toward Texas, I enjoyed the good fortune of participating in a podcast interview with Texan and fellow CTI member Marlive Harris . Hopefully, prayerfully, Ike’s fury will steer clear of Marlive’s abode and all will remain well with her and other citizens of the great… Continue

Pearl Jam's "Reign Over Me" and September 11, 2001









The real subject of this movie sneaked up on me when I was watching it. I thought it was about two old friends getting together to complain about their lives and have some stupid guy time together. Then we find out the movie's really about the personal impact of 9/11 on the main character and how his personal part in the tragedy just broken him so badly he can't see to fix himself or his life. I've see a few really heartbreaking films on 9/11 and this… Continue

More Favorite CTI Quotes

Courtesy of Karl Blog Screensavers on Fickr







I have to admit that I’m actually having more fun going through the different blogs and picking out favorite quotes than I did reading them the first time around. Guess that’s one major bonus of this particular celebration. And yes, I admit I do love it when I surprise myself that way :- )



So here’s part 2 of… Continue

The Answer is YES!



In response to the question of whether or not those who contributed give-aways for the CTI Anniversary Celebration gift bags qualify for participation in the grand funtest, the answer is yes. Obviously, it would be extremely tacky if they won the competition to present them with their own contribution so we would provide alternatives. Aberjhani is the only CTI member exempt from claiming prizes but rest assured that his great prize is the joy of… Continue

CTI Welcomes The "A Love for All Times" Virtual Book Tour







Countries, neighbors, family members, and romantic couples all have something very important in common—namely, a need to make relationships work. As part of the ongoing A Love For All Times Virtual Book Tour, I bravely (I think it was bravery :-) accepted an invitation from Marlive Harris and author LaConnie Taylor-Jones to address one very significant aspect of the relationship between women and men in the new forum… Continue

Randy Pausch (Oct 10, 1960-July 25, 2008) and "The Last Lecture"





I was enjoying a long list of excuses for not doing anything to correct some very difficult situations in my life when I heard about Randy Pausch. On the news, he acknowledged the fact that he was dying and then brushed that fact aside as if it was the most insignificant thing in the world. He then spoke about and demonstrated the joy of living his life with "fun" on a day to day basis. I'm still working on the "fun" part but the renewed… Continue

Home and the Wanderer (Part 1 of 2)



From The American Poet Who Went Home Again





Why did I automatically agree with the American author Thomas Wolfe, who was from North Carolina, when I read the title of his classic book, You Can’t Go Home Again? Being African-American and having grown up in Savannah, Georgia, it might have made more sense to take my biographical and literary clues from Zora Neale… Continue

The Personal Journey of Years (Part 2)





The first public acknowledgment of the [ELEMENTAL] project came June 25, 1993, when the journalist John Ryan published a story titled “Kindred Spirits,” along with a photo of Aberjhani and I by Wayne Moore, in the Savannah College of Art and Design’s (SCAD) former weekly newspaper, The Georgia Guardian. At that time, the book’s working title was “The Way of All Light.” It later changed to “The Light and the Way of Luther E. Vann,” and… Continue

Gold



You are the gold that makes my heart shine,

with the syllabus of your love,

that makes love,

with a cadence of joy,

rhyme.



You are the gold that brings out the hue of the sun,

the sun that rises for all every morn,

for you and me,

for everyone.



You are the gold that sparkles when the moon takes on a yellowish hue,

when it passes the tree of branches of a sacred yew,

thrusting… Continue

I see your dark,dark as night black hair

Isee your deep,deep as the ocean deep brown eyes

i hear a different sound

together we compose a new day song

no pioson on your bones

through you again i see the world full of… Continue
