Let's remember that Malcolm and Martin were <B>young students of the culture</B> like us and look how they changed the world. We are in our prime and yes it's time to hold each other accountable, to be humble enough to accept it.I am sad at times that I can't just go to Corey's house and kick it and chop it up, I do miss catching lunch wit B and discussing what's happening in the world, but that's why I am grateful for this space. I sort of feel split because I feel like we are all where were at for a reason, but I'm down throwin my money up for some property, and eatin ramen noodles for a month and really putting together a real initiative putting my money where my mouth is. We cannot be afraid to take risks. One thing I learned among many at Freedom School training is how to depend on my fellow bredren(sp?) At one point during a teambuildin' activity each one of us had to lean outside of a tiny circle(hula-hoop) and stretch for a koosh ball which represented a child. we couldn't touch the grass or we wpuld have to start over. We messed up a few times then we finally figured it out. In order for this to work one person would have to lean and stretch for the ball while the other team members held on to them. You basically had to 'free fall' and trust your team wouldn't drop you and it worked!<BR/><BR/>all this is to say is we gotta trust each other and depend on each other. If Corey ever needs anything, I'ma be right there, If Brian ever needs anything, I'ma be right there, not necessarily because of my relation to these people, but because that is the essence of who we are,(you know it's that human thing, when you see somebody in pain it hurts you too) it takes a village to raise a village, Damn straight.<BR/><BR/>I knew Baca. Not like maybe Jess knew Baca, but I feel for him all the same. He was a cool person when I knew him, but regardless he was too damn young to die!! especially on some senseless shit! Brian Cole was too damn young especially on some senseless shit!<BR/><BR/>I'm tired yall. But I love yall, even the ones I have yet to meet. That's just my spirit.So fall back on me if you need me, I'll be there, and let's keep this dilogue up. word.<BR/><BR/>....my bad yall I gets a little passionate wit mines =)Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100831686051549294noreply@blogger.com
