Life...the Beautiful Mystery

life. it has many faces and can take you many places. it is a mere existence that we must conquer or it will conquer us. as Black Americans we've got much more to conquer. we have a nation that looks at us from behind as opposed to eye to eye. and although there is a community of blacks that are thriving well they, somehow, choose to hide from us that need their images in order to dream bigger. instead we live in this white dominant society that tries to emulate our culture yet ignores our true message which is to allow us to just be because we're all right just as we are without the extra "flack" caked upon us with all these unnecessary terms of being. it seems there will always be something to overcome; that is the nature of living. but we do it well don't we? you gotta have a sense of humor, goals, support,patience and love. oh and one more thing....money, i mean this is America-land of consumption! -Janus
