Now with August saying farewell with a Super “Blue Moon,” September has moved in with notes of reflection…

Four months of 2023 left and Fall will soon be here…

Let us reflect on the last eight months. What was lost…what was left behind…what was gained…

Did we grow? Did we fall backward? Did we gain in wisdom…unconditional love…becoming better in body…mind…spirit…emotions? We have all changed…no matter how constant we believe we are…because change…is inevitable. Period. The test is the admission of recognition that change has occurred. Life cannot move forward…without change.

Take this moment to reflect upon the changes in you…your life…and how to use them to enhance upon becoming fluid with the changes. How will 2023 become a calling card in moving forward in the final months ahead? How are you spending your moments of “now” building your future? The future of those you touch? The world? Your being here is moving the world forward…positively…negatively…and everything in between. Every life has a purpose and a role in life…without a doubt…known…or unknown to you…choose to be a light in the world…use Change to the advantage of all life!

Use “reflection” to look back and assess how to move forward…

Use “reflection” to look back upon events inside and outside of your life…what is going on around you in your immediate surroundings, as well as your city, town, state, country, the world…do not dwell on the negatives…create positives to initiate changes that build…uplift…and enlighten… body, minds, souls, and spirits of those around you, and those you touch, in the course of your day to day journey through your daily routine…life…and living.

The world is in constant change and fluctuation…humanity’s influence to change and fluctuation is fifty percent…the other fifty percent is out of humanity’s hands…from our breathing…to the eruption of volcanoes…War…Peace…Life Quality…Love…Hate…are in humanity’s scope of Change…

September is here…it beckons reflection and reminds us that the year is coming to a close, shortly…

Let us not become complacent believing that a course is set to follow in the flow of day to day living…it isn’t…nothing is written in stone…Better todays… create better tomorrows…and build a gateway to a lasting future…

Reflection time is here…

Use it wisely…

There’s no going back…

September is here to remind us….

To Unlearn Hate…

Had my brother Stanley lived…today would have been his birthday…

He was killed by police while visiting relatives in Louisiana…away from his California home. He would have been 68.

I wonder, “What will it take to unlearn hate?” How can those who have come to believe that anyone who does not look like them… cannot have the same rights to life as they do? Self-appointed judges over others…will come to be judged themselves…it is Universal Law…of which there is no escape.

Another young, Black life was taken over the weekend…Daunte Wright…20 years on this earth…ended in a single gunshot. The officer said she meant to “taze” him. Why? A gun mistaken for a Taser…How could a mistake like that be made? Perhaps if violent police reactions were checked before being carried out…more lives of color would be spared…but first, they must unlearn hate…

The stereotypes…myths…resentments and hatreds must be confronted and laid to rest. The need to end Black lives by police must be addressed and given the tools necessary to bring about change and equality in the treatment of people of color.

There was no need for violence against Daunte Wright…Violence isn’t the road to compliance. It is often the road to ending a life. And ten times out of ten it is the life of the Black suspect. Justified by magnifying the victim as having an unsavory lifestyle…such as drugs…or a previous conviction record…and what of those who have no prior convictions? Something is always produced as justification for taking their lives. Mainly, for being Black.

A 26-year police veteran can’t tell the difference between a Gun and a Taser? This is going to be a long road…a chaotic road…a solemn road…whatever road is traveled…Justice…must come at the end of that road.

America is walking backward…

To Unlearn Hate…can take a lifetime…and then some…however, we must start somewhere…and it must start TODAY.

To wait until tomorrow…will be too late.

Our country can’t afford to wait…

To unlearn hate….

a day
