Sometimes fecundity brings
loneliness
People are afraid of it
yet seek that very delivery
of truth
Makes them run for cover
Run away from the birth
Naked she stands
Mother of deliverance
Brown skin
full lips
undelayed words
subtracted isms
sacrificially embellished
and the thing is
she dont't mind
No she don't mind at all-

Like a good book, my life is entering yet another chapter. There is a table of contents that direct me. I am climbing the stairwell of guided words and forming powerful sentences that make sense and; create Pathways to the conscience of phases and phrases that make me Najai. Born to be the grafiti on lifes wall bearing colorful ink that too tell my story-

Muscular Destiny
As sure as life precedes so should we. Many years have been spent trying to understand the meaning of life and ones purpose in it. On this most will agree. Yet, there comes a time when every question settles comfortably on the pillow of acceptance. I've not seen even the most humble,faithful and God fearing one without a turn on the pain train of life.
When it rains you can best believe that it rains on all.
The same can be said for the sunshine. So what are the options in response to seemingly unbearable incomprehensible circumstances? The one thing that I have always notated is that "Attitude is Everything."
No. We are not robotic creatures programed to quickly compute and output the right response. However our learned reactions can be changed by exercising the power of choice.
There are a few necessary principle muscles that must be flexed in order for this to work and result positively.The first is the belief muscle- You are what you decide you are. Not what you have been taught to be or what you saw growing up. When in childhood a lot of times we were shown not so good coping skills.
If dad walked out of the house after an argument with mom we saw her bitter. Sometimes yelling and screaming or sending us to our room when we did not deserve to be isolated from the rest of the house. We had done nothing wrong.
If there was a lost income perhaps there was a demonstrated dependency on substance abuse (drinking alcohol) in order to numb the pain of all the concerns that losing ones job might generate.
The better response for both misfortunes would have been, for the parents to adopt a positive mindset and say to the family "We will get through this" and begin the footwork to do so.
Most of us would have been better programmed emotionally if when parents disagreed they talked about it without anger and committed to finding a solution that benefits the entire family. It would have enabled the children to see two adults working together maturely and healthy therefore, reinforcing the children's security and safety in the home.
The second muscle that must be flexed is the willingness muscle-One must want and be willing to do and be better than the things that they find distasteful about the past. Now of course there are tendons and ligaments that help muscles to perform at their best. The willingness muscle releases it's highest optimization when coupled with honesty and determination. A great way to start is to do some soul searching.
This brings us to the third and most important muscle the courage muscle. The reason that this is the most important of the three is because belief and willingness stand on the shoulder of courage. Only bravery can stimulate the belief that one can make a change and only courage can walk one through the door of willingness and determination.
One can believe something is right but never do what is right. One can be willing and determined but, never exercise their willingness or determination with a course of action.
Courage exonerates us and produces results.
Remember the story of the Wizard of OZ?
Dorothy, Tin man and Lion all wanted something from the Wizard.
Their shared belief,willingness and determination took them on a long journey in which they encountered many obstacles. Eventually they made it to the Wizards place only to find that the Wizard is a phony. This angered the Lion so much that he courageously stood up to the Wizard. His courage earned the desired reward for all of them and their lives were forever changed for the better.
Remember Winners never quit and quitters never win. It helps knowing that it rains on every one and when the sun comes out; it too shines on all. Will you continue to complain and be gloomy on a sunny day because of the rain that fell yesterday or, will you enjoy today's sunshine? It is a choice and only you can courageously decide.
You not your past determines your tomorrow.

White collar
/>
white collar worker
so sharp and clean
shiny black shoes
slick and sheen
pin stripe Suit
white shirt blue tie
sometimes a cap
worn straight
never one side
least it be a
Friday night
White collar worker
driving your
Licorice black Benz
rolling up to
an oval office
each morn at seven
a.m that is...
hand off your keys
to the maintenance man
because valet parking
don't start until ten
nod to security
while entering
the main building
White collar worker
I have just one question
did you kiss your wife
this morning or talk to
your children

Departing Lullaby
Backdoor of goodbye's
grand baby cries
Mimi too has tears
in her eyes
Genuine love
sustaining of hearts
seals the trust that
we must and will
meet again and again
First and only born child
One boy One girl returned
Blessings unto me
You multiplied giving
Two grandchildren
Girl summer
and Boy fall
Promise me you'll
Kiss them often and
mention my name
between calls
I love you all
Thanks for the memories
the sharing of your
beautiful smiles
They are chiming gates to my heart
sing a lullaby as we depart
For now and until-
we meet again
Mimi,Mama
holds your smiles
your love and
your hugs within
Dedicated to My Punkin, My sweet girl and My Lil Boots

This Poets Quote #12
It's raining within a soul... Wind is upon ones neck.. words taste moistened lips lighten weight upon ones breast... What once was cold finds refuge of warmth. Heaven imagined in the sky yet here too upon this earth. Silence an unspoken language which tongue truly rests in time. Subliminal message invading one's mind...

This poets quote #11
Challenge and change are constant. They open our eyes to opportunity and possibility. Change is not our enemy it is our chance to do it differently. When we give our best someone reaps the benefit of the difference that we have made. Don't invest money, invest TIME in self and others. MAKE A DIFFERENCE...

A Wise man
A wise man is strong even when confonted with an opportunity to be weak. A wise man humbles himself even as trouble seeks him out. He accepts his responsibility with his head head high maintaining his dignity, excercising integrity. A wise man takes care of his flock and his nest despite, the inclusion of a "lost soul.." He recognizes his own imperfections and commits to change. Ignores his own souls invasion.
A wise man waits and relies soley on the "Most high" He is Peace, Love and Life personified.
