Classic: Celia Cruz

Celia influenced me at the the tender age of 8 when I was in an afterschool dance program where I learned Cha Cha, Tango, Salsa, Meringue, Cuimba, and of course Ruumba. We used to sing this one song called “Mama Te Quero” which I will never forget. She has the strongest voice reminiscent of a latina Aretha [...]

Classic: BRIGHT ROAD

Another Dorothy Dandridge & Harry Belafonte film. This is just the sweetest story…
“To see Bright Road will be a delight -
To miss it … a regret -
Bright Road has everything a great picture needs …
Beauty of story -
Heart interest -
Splendid performances -
Laughter … And tears “

Before Time & Space

It was the most collosal explosion in history and it happened in a billionth of a billionth of 1 second; and it did all this without making a sound because…
…theory, “Sound does not propegate in space”. “The black void of space is something…so is time”
“It was the explosion of space and time into the existence”

Thanksgiving: Chippewa

The Chippewa were a “band” or “tribal group” who were a part of the Ojibwe/Potawatomi and also known as “the great lakes indians”; actually Chippewa is another variation of the tribe Ojibwe who I mentioned previously in my post about Potawatomi.
Below are a few of the many great Chippewa Chiefs

Time, Really…what does it all mean?

Please not a trillion years…
This is an interesting and inspiring article on Linear and Cyclical Time from http://www.skybooksusa.com/time-travel
The Hebrew view of time also includes the concept that time moves from event to event in a line—not a straight line, to be sure, but towards a goal. The goal is always the future, yet the goal [...]

Symbols: ArcheTypes

According to Crystalinks.com…
ArcheTypes are visual symbols or energetic imprints that exist in our psyches. Some are readily understood while others bring subliminal messages that are there to help you trigger your memory of why you are here and the truth behind the illusion of reality. Archetypes can often convey messages that verbal and written information [...]

They traditionally speak the Potawatomi language, a member of the Algonquian family. In the Potawatomi language, they generally call themselves Bodéwadmi, a name that means “keepers of the fire” and that was applied to [...]

Considering how polluted Los Angeles is this would be a total transformation and renewal process. As much studying that has been done on botany in the last 10 years this may become a reality. Plants help us breath better.
 
Here is another video about the evolution of our plant & agriculture industry.
