The classic ‘Little Simz’ track has three elements: RnB, Rap and a touch of Jazz. Above all else, her songs feel like a garden, a playground, a park. The music is the equator, her creative mind is the celestial body.

A good day 👨‍🎓

My peace I give to you. -John 14:27

The French squad is slowly getting inflicted by the plague of The Argentines. God is speaking……..

England v USA Football v Soccer The ultimate battle of semantics.

By all accounts, this war should have been called off many years ago. I have been coerced into mending my relationship with the shopkeeper. Turns out I can’t get anything below a D100 from the supermarket. Is this the GREAT DEPRESSION?

Erling Haaland in Manchester City is akin to Kevin Durant in The Golden State Warriors. Little wonder long legged athletes, heighten their team’s odds of a Championship. Lesson for coaches - Scout for height, it’s positive discrimination!

In 1986, after a game against the Chicago Bulls, Larry Bird had the following to say about a particular third-year player from the state of N-Carolina: “I would never had called him the greatest player I’d seen if I didn’t mean it. It’s just god disguised as Micheal Jordan”

American FOOTBALL is fundamentally a sport of condescension. There is supposedly nothing worse than being at the end of an unforeseen hit or coaching a bad team. The results of both experiences poke the soft spots of the heart.

There is a modicum of patience embedded in understanding. A mysterious calmness that silences and unravels. The philosophers of old often labeled it MASTERY - The state of being so greatly skilled so as to exude control and finesse. Magic 🪄

Arid lands, black girls, little game, the anchors of history down Makola, the pinkness of Senegal’s Lake Retba, the sprawling buildings on the island of Lagos, the early 1300 Djinguereber mosque in Timbuktu. Can you reach the glory beneath our darkness? We who?

The past is not at all distant. We can stand at its edge, watching the waves do the backbreaking work of pulling, pulling away - Maggie Smith

Would it be any wonder if these three black men are treated in extremely racist ways? Are they still three lions? Should “Black” misfortune be stressed upon with such heartlessness? My thoughts are with those who feel at the edge of the world. What a time to be white???

“This above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man” - Hamlet, Act I Sc. III

The whispers in the heart of them that sing the victory song plays on, holding every tear, ripe till its fall, moistening the palms with the labour of travail, refreshing with every dose of this summer air. The clouds were witnesses. I too was there.

What candles may be held to speed them all/Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes/shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes/the parlor of girls’s brows shall be their pall/their flowers the tenderness of patient minds/and each slow dusking-down of blinds - Owens, Sept. 1917
