Ibaye Tonu Baba Charles Robinson - I was guided well along my journey.

I thought I had made an album.... since he appears to be heavy on my mind this morning.... I can spend sometime with him this way.
We all have spiritual walks. I was guided well along my journey.
I had the distinct honor and pleasure of being the G-dchild of Baba Charles for the past 25+ years.
He took flight 6/19/2013. He was good people. MODUPUE BABA!!!
I truly miss this dude man.. seriously. Charles Robinson was the epitome of unconditional love from one human being to the world. 10/21/2014
Most have seen my DNA root... This Brother here is my Spiritual Root... He has brought me through more storms that one can imagine.
Ive had a volcanic force in my life for near 25 years.
There has been no one in my 48 years who could ever rival the friendship, guidance and total acceptance of me than Baba Charles Robinson
There are times in life when we meet those who smile in the face of adversity.
Who pick themselves up and brush themselves off and who most importantly, love unconditionally....
Baba your name stays in the air to the Most High... 1  6/19/2013
Ibae Charles Robinson
I could say Im at a loss for words but Im the G-dchild of an Aganyu..
I was prepped for this moment as all his soldiers were.
I couldn't have received a better match for me as a G-dparent.
Patient, kind, tough, honest, fair... no matter what was going down.. I was his Ogun.
My heartfelt condolences to the Robinson Family, the Ocha / Orisha families that flowed from Stephanie & Lloyd Weaver... to the Aganyu & Yemonya communities.
Drummers, Musicians, Artists Guilds....
G-d you called a great soldier home.... Sala Malecun Tata
Baba... I ain't got to miss you... I'll keep listening to the wind. 1  6/19/2013
IBAYE Baba Charles Robinson IBAYE
IBAYE CHOLA REMI
Modupue ... Baba, the laughter started. Im good!!!!
You're The Best Baba / Tata a Jamaican British Sista could have ever had!!! A quarter century man.. Until we meet again. Upstairs or Downstairs!! Let those robes flow~~~~ ‪#‎FlightTime‬ 1 — with Charles Robinson. 6/19/2013

JUST FLOW - A Wind Dance with STORMYRAYNE

This initial piece was shared on my Fb page and turned into a collaboration with StormyRayne!!!!

Can't you feel the Hurricane Andrea's coming breezes
She's got that mixture of heat and cool
'causing atmospheric and human internal pressures to rise and fall
She's got these trees dancing in her winds
Sway and to and fro all in a Mama Oya Twist & Turn
Don't you know the twirl, the one that makes a lady in a dress or skirt put her hand to her kitty kat all out in public just so you don't see
for them winds don't care,
they will lift, wig or weave, or skirt tail
make a hat fly,
send a tie on a spin
why can't you feel the breeze
She's got these branches bending down low
like the bear the burden of royalty ready to step off and hit the ground
She's got the leaves sweeping the ground....
Oh No... that for the snapped, dead branches
Not for the living
Whip, turn fast, pulled back into the flow... WHAAAP
that was a quick snap back
Ooops, The Tree reminds the branch... "You can't go to far without me"
For the day that you fly away from these roots
You become "of me"
Son of, Daughter of, Child of...
I pray that there are seeds of growth in your path
that you may find new ground
Roots down, Shoots up, Fruit Bear
Growth
So dance with the wind
dance in the wind
JUST FLOW

couple hours later... the Sun came out

it has slowed up for a minute...
They must have been doing laundry in Heaven yesterday
Today... air dry
but we aint faked by the funk
drop water by the bucket
Charleston Sun come out and dry it up and
then 1 hour later you need a canoe just to get through
The Historic streets of Downtown
Where the Civil War battles left cobbles which
become damn slick when wet

damn this Gemini air play is fly
got me vibing and scribin'
SWEET

  • Lorraine Stormy Watt I guess spinning to choose who's blues .. Hues, the sky to loose less rain drops or dews.. That spew wonders of laughter on forbidden muse ,gets used... Now bruised windstorm and battered love lorn refuse , untampered in the wind that ooze ..,her fury of mayhem to defuse the heart perpetual fountain of youth...just purge to merge again.and again......

  • Brenda Jennifer Peart aye Ya.... yet this gift of twirls I take with me to the sea...

    just after the Sun rises we shall join the many along the banks of waters around the world
    We shall sing and merge
    dance and merge

    give offerings and merge
    at 12 high noon as they will across the world
    libations pure
    and we will again merge
    for in that moment
    that call to duty
    all African Spirit RISE
