digging in on revision rest, that phase where all you see are the
insurmountable problems, the insurmountable problems, this
is the time of testing, my faith has been flagging last couple
of days and its liike im walking thru crises, i think its just
ccause im about to embark on a big push and i fear failure
whatever it is old boy got a bad case of the blues
SUN 12/9 1;24 am ori in ghana but this is revision 12:11
hello all
so, was invited to be part of opening ceremony for 60th anniversary of the all african peoples conference, univ of ghana, accra, and i was like cool, ima blow them away, went full regalia medicine man, my global griot thing, mganga maua, afroam stylee, activate my ghanian legions, i fumbled thru, it was okay - but the experience itself was revelatory, being introduced to all these stalwarts of struggle, 1000+ or so pan africanists from the continent & diaspora, i tend to think i know everything i need to know but every once in a while you exposed to new & ancient beats,
and after i did my little hoodoo prophet thing, de geas of rickydoc, this brother came up to me and said my people are being genocided, will you do a song for us, i will get it before thousands (actually he said millions, I'm just trying to keep it real) - i was so moved and i was like the global griot strikes again - but it turns out he is from cameroon and the situation is like dicey and i was like well maybe i can heal their afflictions and then i was like maybe you should just chill the fuck out, mr global griot, but i will keep an eye on it, i like being wanted, save us rickydoc gets me every time
allmy love
