Makes Me Wonder...

with so many things happening to people in the world today it just makes you wonder. wonder what the world would be like if we didn't have to deal with all the ciaos that surrounds our lives. some of us escape the trappings of our society. most are not so lucky and we all have that moment where we just have to ask: why wasn't it me? although we don't want it to really be us dealing with such sadness but we just have to ask. and no matter how much we try and keep our minds off of the bad we know it's always there, somewhere lurking around. i remember writing a poem in high school entitled what is life? and i listed all of the things a young girl can experience growing up and dealing with relationships, differences and the world. i'm still on that quest, that hunt to find not the fountain of youth but what sustains us in a world so cold. i remember growing up and all the adults would tell me that it's a "doggy-dog world" and now as i'm in it it's also a dog-eat-dog world. point blank period life is hard. some of us can take the hits better than others and i do in my heart believe that only the strong survive. life unfolds to us as we live in it. we all are walking these subliminal paths trying to make good with our time. the best we can do for ourselves and the world is find that special thing inside that produces magic. the magic that changes minds and lives to see their special thing inside. there is life inside of us that deserves to be lived at it's best. and our best is what makes us the happiest person we've ever been. we need unconditional love (love that isn't measured, graded or put on any pedestal), we need encouragement, we need truth, we need support (even when we are misunderstood) but most importantly we as individuals need to know that at a certain point all of this is left up to us if the ones that surround us do not budge. we have to live for ourselves. we have to make ourselves happy and not get caught up in living for everyone else. everyday we wake up we should be making ourselves happy-whatever that means to you. live life, celebrate life, be happy in the skin you're in.
Love Yourself, It's The Buried Treasure!

Larry Davis

i really want to take out some time to shout out this particular african-american man named Larry Davis. i saw a documentary about this man about 2 years ago by way of another fabulous guy by the name of troy reed and his street stars docs. b.e.t aired the story on him last night and seeing his story told from that particular point of view really got me boiled about the african-american condition. although there are many advancements for all races here in this country america will always have a love-hate affair between blacks and whites. i am convinced that this will never die and with that said my eyes will always be wide-open to this fact. i have been brought up around many different backgrounds and ethnicity's and i am convinced that we as a country are only concerned with others for selfish and/or personal reasons for the advancement and growth of a personal nature. we say a lot of things as a country but we, in fact, do the exact opposite of what we say we are. and what this has to do with Larry Davis is that our country has done lots of dirty things but when the time comes to atone innocence is displayed while the "criminal" is left to pay for the sins of all. this continues to go on in a time where freedom and justice are spoken of in the same breath.

1 Whole Year!

so it's been a year for me here at msisenther universe and i must say it's been a year of greatness. there is nothing like setting goals and then reaching them-i advise it to all. so with that said it's time to move on into the next year with some style, more class and of course more poetic reality! look forward to a new layout as well as a book collection in this new year. that is what i want for this entity in my life. to build the msisenther brand into the atmosphere where only good things dwell. this site is for those of us that need inspiration to deal with the hectic world. although i write this blog i myself am highly inspired to do more after an entry or even when i come to view the site throughout my day and i hope it's doing the same for you as well. i think it's time for selfless creativity to reign strong so that we never forget that before we had all of these amenities in life it was just the resources we had around us to keep us ahead of the curve. sometimes civilization can make us neglect the greatness that we have around us thinking that the only thing real and true is something that comes with a hard struggle. those of us that know better need to stand together and make the world what we want it to be. we are the consumers, the ones that keep the economy where it should be. if we don't spend our country will not grow and don't ever forget that. so please leave comments, questions and suggestions as we go into this new year together.

peace, Janus

Sensory

don't touch but feel
don't see but look
don't hear but listen
don't taste but savor
don't smell but comprehend

if you are blessed with your senses do them justice and heighten them
