With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair…”

Blue Lines, Blue Lines Blog, Key Yemaya Walker, What I Learned Sundays

Not much to say:
Death stinks, but unfortunately it’s a part of life.
I’m not unfeeling, although it’s hard for me to cry.
I still have reservations telling you how I feel.
I love the airport.
I am lucky to have met one friend I spent today with.
Laughs are the greatest thing.
I wrote more than I expected.

“…I will always love you…”
My favorite cover of this song is 311’s version, but this was pretty hot.

Blue Lines Blog – Goodbyes (Bonnie Taylor 96)

Blue Lines, Bonnie Taylor, Key Yemaya Walker, Mumford And Sons

“…I got a call that ruined my day…”
I saw a area code that startled me, and not in a good way. So I did a search to turn up an area code that only a bad phone call could come from if unknown…earlier that day, it was a cool and easy day, unseasonable warm for winter February Atlanta, and actually was off early on a Friday (Read on time) which is unheard of in my line of work. At dinner between a light appetizer as I was preparing to have my first “meal” post-cleanse, only to receive the news that I had lost someone prior to placing that order.
I am more confused and torn now more than ever. These are feelings that I have experienced more times than not over the last year and a few months, and I truly hoped that I could get through 2011 without having to continue amidst these feelings, and give myself time to heal. My confusion still lies in that each time that I lose someone, I think of one person that I feel that I am not truthful or as forthcoming with…

“…And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair…”

In my thoughts and words, I had so much to say, but right now my heart is truly broken, and I think that in trying to close this…I am sad. I do not blame anyone, and I do not question death and life’s process, but in no way does that mean that it does not hurt my heart at it’s deepest core. It pains me not to cry, but my eyes are tear-weary.

I love you Bonnie “Uncle Bunny” Taylor, as your family called you. after 96 yearsm, and your Christmas birthday we bid you adieu.

To all of you, in lieu of flowers, please hold your family tight, speak to your mother whom you have a bad relationship, talk to your father that an argument caused silence, do not miss out on your family. I love you all, and to you who I can never tell my truly feelings, in the purest meaning of the words…I still love.

Thank you.

Being Stupid – I Really “Need” (Want) an New iPod

Apple, Being Stupid, Blue Lines, iPod, Key Yemaya Walker

I love having my music on my iPod, but I quickly outgrew my 60GB’s the first year I had it (let’s not mention that the released the 80GB version for $50 less a month later). That 160GB is exactly what I need, but it is wasteful to buy another one, when my iPod works perfectly fine. I I have some emotional attachment, I used it when I would go on the road to research Blue Lines, or write in various Starbucks during my years writing or editing my manuscript.  Maybe I will give it to my friend looking for their first iPod???

Blue Lines Blog: This Day In American History – Dies Poet Robert Hayden

Blue Lines, Blue Lines Blog, Key Yemaya Walker, Library of Congress, poetry, Robert E. Hayden, Robert Hayden, Soledad, This Day In American History

Robert Hayden (4 August 1913 – 25 February 1980) was an American poet, essayist, educator. He was appointed Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in 1976.

Soledad
(And I, I am no longer of that world)

Naked, he lies in the blinded room
chainsmoking, cradled by drugs, by jazz
as never by any lover’s cradling flesh.

Miles Davis coolly blows for him:
O pena negra, sensual Flamenco blues;
the red clay foxfire voice of Lady Day

(lady of the pure black magnolias)
sobsings her sorrow and loss and fare you well,
dryweeps the pain his treacherous jailers

have released him from for a while.
His fears and his unfinished self
await him down in the anywhere streets.

He hides on the dark side of the moon,
takes refuge in a stained-glass cell,
flies to a clockless country of crystal.

Only the ghost of Lady Day knows where
he is. Only the music. And he swings
oh swings: beyond complete immortal now.
