STRANGE FRUIT REFLECTIONS IN LOCKDOWN



STRANGE FRUIT 
I am listening to music right now.
Most of my days I am listening to music.
Powerful stuff
Music gets into my soul
entering under my finger nails
creating shivers down my spine

Such a powerful communication tool
It gets to me
Body
and especially entering the depth of my soul

Recent days stimulated many of my radio DJ's
to play the most powerful
emotional
music

I drink it all in
Gulp
as if it was air to breathe
it is for me

I am thirsty for such spiritual injections
I yearn to be moved
I want to have depth
I want to change
I want to refresh my irritation
DAILY.

Strange Fruit
The song
Nina Simone
hurts
as it takes me back in history to slavery.


But injustice is not just about history.
It is in our faces
unless we blinker ourselves
in our comfort zones.

We have so much to learn
Drink from the well

I wonder how you are?
I wonder how you express your inner being?
BECOMING?
