...music harkens eras, time periods, moments in our history... a certain someone, a group... o.p.p. is playing at the cafe and i'm taken to those fast times during college, walking around profiling clothes, hairstyle, strut, and hoping to be under the banner of a league of others who were cool to hide behind, to facilitate my acceptance into being one of you... even though i wasn't... would never be... no one is... as the only fitting in is with our Self...
...this is why people we are stuck on songs, and styles, and a once upon a times get wrecked with substance abuse, cynicism, nostalgia...
...i can't say i suffer from this... all praise is due... stick to You... Your side... and Everything... Breath...
...pranayama through the day... and even though we were together earlier... even though we are a couple at this moment... it's not because of clothes, or strut, or cool... it is due to Connection... a Connection that is pure Love... pure... You...
...the difference is staying rooted in ritual, in prayer, in craft, in Work... this will keep us Connected... this journey makes sense because it is showing up without pretenses... with how many had been doing it... many who saw through the maya in their own way... it took me a while... see it now...
...been seeing it for a while... the discipline keeps me in Sight... the need to go deeper... grow deeper... try... Reach... praise... play... in the name of ALLAH...
