Find your way home.
You know there is a breakthrough coming when you start to feel glum and not as confident.
When you feel discouraged and lost.
The last step to that level or chapter is believing in yourself. Believing in yourself more and louder than those negative thoughts that are floating in and out.
We should always be kind and compassionate in everyone’s presence and who’s space we enter.
We don't know if we are walking into a battleground or an oasis.
We never know what the person across from us is going through.
It could be an internal fight for their life, a fight that could go either way at any moment.
I am on the ground now.
I'm feeling different types of ways and I know the tunnel is opening up.
It's a struggle but it's also love.
We are rebuilding.
​Sometimes you got to go in to get out not knowing why things happen but believing they are happening for a positive reason. ]]>Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:29:52 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/road-to-givingThe words take me down a trail
Deep as the pit in my stomach
I get lost in a dream
Seeming to be the only one asleep
Fantasies and magic
Majestic as a religion
The way I walk
I feel every step
My foot burns a print in the sidewalk
Courageous till the path ends
Only to be the start of a dream
Hotter than hell
I laugh
I get excited
Me being me
The rawness
I fight it
Breaking chains
Free as the wind
A purposeful breeze
When I blow in
I'll never died down
I'll just be still
Kicking up dust
When my ashes spill
I can’t imagine a world
Never whispering my name
The butterfly says it’s all in a name
You can start with this
Work back to move forward
To do what you do
Change the world
Making dreams come true
Change the world
The power is in you
Change the world
Here is the key
Open the door to a world
Where giving is King]]>Tue, 02 Jan 2018 16:31:53 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/after-blackFaceless, nameless, full of life and light
They say they wouldn't want to live there
We can't wait to die here
Mothers and fathers to sons and daughters, teachers, preachers,cops and jocks
At our best when the rest set their bar at the norm
The snow freezes our steps, the leaves hold the joy of the youth
We can't pretend because we're too pure
Our drive is greater than any others
With steam from means
Nothing to a lot of people,
But everything to some.

Outlined with the armor of self belief
Grief and perseverance got me here
Courage and forgiveness will keep me strongly in place
At the dinner table we say Grace
Pulling my chair up to a buffet the world is serving
Too much wine got me slurring
Put the gold gimlet down
Rome was a presence of power
Presently this hour
Our taste of power is sour
Not enough flavors added to this so called melting pot
Left out on the side to rot
Right in front of the eyes
Truth lives disguised
Camouflaged by the lies
Adding up the cost and don't even know why
The good die young
Feeling the emotions of life and death
The weight of reality
Still I won't sweat
Holding on
I'm not done yet
Bet I take a chance
Bet I gamble in this vein
Win, lose or draw my image and likeness will remain the same
Like a caged Zoo lion
Wild but controlled
Like a baby in a stroller
Spazin' but the wheels roll
Tasks, work, something to do to pass the clicks
Know what you do on your watch
Every moment's a gift]]>Sat, 06 May 2017 15:09:07 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/self-travelReaching dreams Blurring lines like magic
Silence the night
Recognize the struggles
Fighting for my life
Reaching dreams
As a teen
My way was the mean green
An 8 on the scene
Watching the throne
Home alone
Arguing over the phone
Leaving a dial tone
The family plan
Seeing fans like Stan
Keeping my distance
Sprinting to the zone
Believing I am gifted
Hitting the holes
Others plot
Behind the stage
Created my own rage
Others watch
Flying high
My next choice
Ride or die
The truth
Seeing with my Ra eye
I was unsure
When they blessed me
Now the future is mine
I see what they see ]]>Tue, 10 Jan 2017 06:39:34 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/light-bearerIt's been some time now
And I don't know what makes you tick
What's inside that moves you
Days in the sun
Nights under the moon
Right foot, Left foot
Moving the body forward
Never looking back
Never questioning the actions
My will is going to win
Fate, destiny and I
​All rolled in one
Now your turn
Your test
And in a test
Even the good man's eyes turn red
Are you prepared
It all could be so easy
That's what Judas thought
Don't betray yourself
Not here
Not you! Not you!
Find it
Earn it
​Take it
See you on the other side
The dark side
With eyes wide
Light Bearer

Reflecting the inner thoughts
Destroying men
Sins of Saints
Corrupting what we think
Mortal ways
Paved with strays
Beliefs in a Spiritual haze
Hope lost
Coping with these thoughts
Whispers burn
Words lead to urns
Earning thyne space
Spirit is Heaven sent
About the dough
This Being is paying rent
Free flying
Survival is dying
An abundant life
Living looking like I ain't trying


]]>Thu, 22 Dec 2016 10:44:32 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/patience-prosperityThe phrase "live long and prosper" used to just be a funny way to say goodbye to someone back when I was young, but today that is the first thought that popped into my head as I was thinking of words that define my state of being at the moment. Being a Seeker, the Truth is what motivates me. Since the beginning, I have learned many lessons on this journey. One is the Truth is your own. No one else can live your Truth and you can't live theirs. That was the first thing I had to understand. There's no way you can journey in another person's shoes. Realizing that Truth, I recreated myself in the image and likeness of my inner being; how I saw myself. This is a forever evolving space but the depth of my roots will hold me firm. After years on this journey of self discovery, I feel how my world processes energy. I've developed a knowing of myself. A trust and if our inner world reflects our outer world and our goal is for balance between the two then the only way I can describe that process is through Patience. Patience I've learned is a loaded word. Eight letters of life. Patience is not something we are born with, it's developed. It's alive. It's love. As a kid I remember my parents telling me "Be Patient. Just be Patient." I hated hearing that because it always meant "no." But it was a subtle way of them teaching me that very thing. Patience is my religion. I found in the most stressful of times being Patient was the only thing I could do. Be Patient. As a sick person becomes a doctor's patient, I became God's patient. God checked me in, God gave me my meds, God said take 2 of these and call me in the morning. And I did. The side effects were forgiveness, compassion, unconditional love and Light. An awareness of the whole, a better understanding of the Universe's Laws and courage in my own Truth. Opening the way to life shaking world changing moments. At the core of each of those spaces was Patience. Patience must be put in motion, Patience must be used. Patience is a path, the Seeker will choose. It's a daily exercise. It's a frequency. Be conscious of your vibes. Patience lead me to gratitude and gratitude lead me to a new meaning of prosperity, an abundance space filled with Love. I know this to be true because I'm able to articulate and share that space on this path, a wholeness, a oneness to the All, my cup runith over with love to those in a dark place. Let there be Light, helpful crumbs for the Seeker sight. Live long and prosper. 🖖🏾]]>Tue, 13 Dec 2016 01:31:02 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/an-aquarian-momentStrolling the sidewalk pounding the pavement to lead
But there are cracks in the way 
Holes the Lord knows
Hoes the Lord knows 
Both slowing down and tripping up vehicles 
​Dialing the Sun, waiting for an afternoon answer 
Howling at the Sun, a night time awakening
To the depths of a home, an Aquarius alone
To the height of a moment, an Aquarius bringing the rain
Star strangled banners color outside the stripes
Pray and pray and I'll return with the answer
My life, your death or vice versa when my hearts in it

]]>Mon, 05 Dec 2016 22:11:44 GMThttp://www.bookofreign.com/blog/seek-loveIt's your journey, find your way home. You know there is a breakthrough coming when you start to feel glum and not as confident.  When you feel discouraged and lost. The last step to that level or chapter is believing in yourself. Believing in yourself more and louder than those negative thoughts that are floating in and out. We should always be kind and compassionate to everyone who's presence and who’s space we enter. We don't know if we are walking into a battleground or an oasis. We never know what the person across from us is going through. It could be an internal fight for their life, a fight that could go either way at any moment. I am on the ground now. I'm feeling different types of ways and I know the tunnel is opening up. It's a struggle but it's also love. We are rebuilding. Sometimes you got to go in to get out not knowing why things happen but believing they are happening for a positive reason. When I was in the dark state of my first depression, there was no reasoning. It was just black with a lot of fingers pointing away from me.  I was blaming my whole state of being on all those who didn't help.  My path had been changed. Everything was altered.  As a result, it was not what I wanted, so I resented it. Fought it. Overtime I realized what I was fighting: myself. So I stopped and gave my will over to God’s will. Then things started happening. Something on the inside of me wanted more. Wanted to test what life was. With religion being the starting block, I jumped into the arms of Jesus Christ and he carried me over the old world and sent me on my feet in the New World and said go and be free. Live. But I didn't know what he meant, so I asked. And all I heard back was SEEK! So I did. And the places we will go! And then we submit to that which is the unknown. Trust in fate. Resting in faith. God will  keep me safe. Will you hear my cry?  Know my sorrow? Then you hear, yes my Son. And even if you did make it up, you believe His voice and breathe easy and you will be. Live free and be happy! Joy is love. Love is God. Out of sight, out of mind unless you see with your mind’s eye! Make it a conscious effort to know what your feelings are saying to you. Then focus & breathe. Spend time with those feelings. Really feel the feeling. Only do this if you are aware of your safe space and know that it's just a feeling, it does not define who you are. Yet. Because if you go into a feeling and believe it, it could trap you and hold you in, pressing you deeper in darkness. So from your safe space go see what your world is saying to you. If the inside can reflect the outside and the outside is making you feel some kind of way, possibly there still may be some places that still need some attention from the core of your being. Feel. Be Still. Flow and know! Keep pushing forward toward the end of the tunnel. If your physical and your soul align and want it then you can have it. When truths are realized, hope is restored. If you have what you really truly know you want without settling then you are living your dream.]]>
