CYBORG’S LOUNGE OF LIGHT
FROM THE EARS TO THE HEART
DAY 6 — I don’t want the light to stop
Music showed me how to love my human family. When you grow up the way that I did, you’ll take your lessons wherever you can. You learn to take the LIGHT in wherever it appears for you. When you are confused, when you don’t know how to do the thing we all must do — let the light in through your ears — God gave you TWO of them. They should be on either side of your head. Do you remember them? They’ve been missing you. When we listen — REALLY LISTEN — with an open head we hold space for the light to enter into our hearts. (Clay Rivers taught me that TODAY)
—Believe me Believe me —
There ARE things YOU can do today. Right now. You can listen from your head. Right now. Are you listening? COME ON NOW! Get your ass up off that couch!
— I BELIEVE IN YOU —
Sam Cooke.
If you aren’t inspired by this man’s bravery. If you cannot feel his heart in this, there is nothing anyone will ever say to shift your ignorance.
“A Change Is Gonna Come”
I was born by the river in a little tent.
Oh, and just like the river I’ve been running ever since
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will
It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die
’Cause I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go down town
Somebody keep telling me don’t hang around
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say, “Brother, help me please.”
But he winds up knockin’ me
Back down on my knees
There been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come, oh yes it will
By the way, if you didn’t know,
“Just before this song was to be released as a single in December of 1964, Sam Cooke would be shot to death at a motel in Los Angeles.”
IT IS TIME.
For my sisters and my brothers. For the fathers and the mothers. For the children and the grown.
Inspired by none other than Ms. Tremaine
Love,
-Cyborg
