Since the verdict was announced on the Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman trial
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin I haven't said much.
I wanted to let my emotions calm and try to step back and not make the situation worse by adding to the pain, frustration, anger and anxiety that so many people were expressing.
This song has been running thru my head...and I just want to send it out to all of you...it's for everyone that hurting... "To make you feel my love"
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no - one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue and
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
You Know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love
But now we need to address this whole issue, and thankfully there are people working on it. This film Fruitvale Station is working on it, but we need a lot more. Please read this article, it's very well written.

and finally this video it's on Kickstarter, this project needs to be made. Please share and help so that we can have better future for our boys, our men and for a daughters...I worry,.. I worry for my daughter, what kind of boys will she meet...what kind of men will she meet. Already we have seen disturbing things in school and with the media and culture as it is, it will not improve unless we all work together to change it.
From the director of Miss Representation - an exploration of American masculinity.
Let's hear it for the boys...Let's raise boys that we can be proud of. It takes a village...make sure you tell the boys and men in your life you love them and help them be strong empathic, loving men, give the direction the best you can, we all need to do this the best we can.
Please watch these two powerful videos, everything makes so much sense ...we have to keep focusing on the positive..meditate ..be the lightworkers...we have to chose LOVE NOT FEAR!! Make that your mantra!
