I was born and grew up in apartheid South Africa. Many people saw through the system. Like this band that is now on auto-replay in my head

I bet they were!
We played everything up to "Red Sails..." in the bar i worked in [in Berlin/ the 80s].
Am re-listening to all of it now. Good times.

IBut after this last event, I am swearing never to help another black person for any reason.

That's too bad. I hope your life gets better.

Yes, good or bad comes in all shapes and sizes, etc.

So sorry for your experience, write. I'm really sorry you feel that way.


"That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained..."

—English translation of 1963 Speech delivered to the United Nations by Haile Selassie I (Ras Tafari) and popularized in a song called War by Bob Marley.

I had a long, involved dream last night, but only brought the very last part back to recollection. In a field, close to a forest, I came upon one of my old framing counters, which I had to clean out my personal items, as I was leaving it behind, and I discovered a long forgotten envelope that contained a hundred dollar bill and some coins, much to my surprise.

This morning, at work, shortly after opening the store, the owner (who lives two hours drive away) comes walking in the door. She proceeds to give the most demoralizing pep talk she has ever given, and basically threatens all of our livlihoods. She said several times that one friday she will have to call and tell us to close the doors because she won't have the money to meet payroll. This coming from a woman who is a millionaire.

So, my Universe, lead the way, comes not from PerkyLama but ResolvedLama, as I know how the universe works and it does appear a change of scenery may be at hand. I am very good at what I do, but am bound by contract by this woman not or work at any similar business within fifty miles for two years after I stop working for her. Fortunately I already live twenty miles south of here, so looking further south it is! If I can manage to get my gardening to be productive enough, hell, I might just do that. Work wise, it's the only thing I've done that gives more satisfaction than the day job, anyway.

We shall see, and again, Universe, Lead the way!

It WILL work out for you, and you have the Villagers to back you up.

Good Morning,

I know I have posted this before, but it seems rather fitting this morning.

Peace,

Sorry for your experience Write4change. I hope you soften at some point. Never say never. One experience could change your outlook again. Many blessings sent your way.

And a child shall lead them.

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
and the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
and a little child shall lead them.

[REILLY]

You betcha.

In the Village,
Souls weep, creep and fly
across skies soaring through illusory ties
to Earth
a rebirth of community
the decision to live in unity
despite the tribulations of life's surprises
love realizes we're all of one heart.

In the Village,
experience calls
laughter transcends and hate stalls
while manatees solemnly imbibe
and cat tribes meow in delight
recipes of life bless
lives lived in the Light
leaving behind scenes of fright
opening sublime discourse of
wrong vs right

In the Village,
people are real
still learning still making mistakes
but ever yearning to be
the totality of who they are
free from the banality of fallen
stars ...

In the Village.

[Belle]

That was absolutely beautiful, Rahkyt. You actually brought tears to my eyes with your poetry...that you see us in such Light, capturing the spirit of the Village so well.

Love you, Brother (if I may call you that)...and love to all Villagers.

Now where are those tissues......

[mojo]

You write wonderfully Rahkyt and I've noticed a real positive outlook where you post....thanks

That was very very nice, Rahkyt. And I'm happy that the thread is being kept alive by such as yourself, and all the others.
I would miss this Village so much if ever there was an Internet interruption...
lets not even think such a horrible thought.

I'm just coming down from my travel high and needed a long nap. Tropical climate drains energy,
and yesterday was also the busiest day ever, with settling in, on the phone to friends,
going out to lunch with my grandsons, doing my jewelry business, picking up a new client who has a great shop
on the south coast of the island.
In the evening I was invited by my son's parents-in-law to a huge function hosted at the Venezuelan Embassy here...
their Independence Day. With a traditional ensemble called Trapiche. Had fun.
