Life in Marvelous Time. the word is his new album “The Ecstatic” comes out this summer. June. ive even seen a album cover so i am as hopeful as one can be with an artist’s release date. heres a joint from the album which i think is very very dope.

although there seems to be a consensus that his last album “True Magic” was not very dope, there were joints on there that i really liked. i dont even think he liked his last album. anyway, here is one of the tracks. this song was on repeat on my ipod. but thats just me.

just for good measure this is an old joint off of a soundtrack. movie wasnt that great (cant even remember the name) but i always dug this song.

then i realized i was a body
but that is not the truth of the truth
then i realized i am a spirit in a body
but that is not the the truth of the truth
then i realized i am a body in a spirit
but that is not the truth of the truth
then i realized my spirit and body are one in the same
but that is not the truth of the truth
then i realized that neither i, my body, my spirit, nor my realizations exist at all
there is only the truth of the truth

oh::::::my:::::God

how does one go about ceasing to exist
if they have never existed at all

i wrote the whole of “Danger” listening to this song. i was still teaching high school then. ive loved me’shell for some time already. but i hadnt even bought this album or downloaded it. in fact at the time it wasnt even out yet. i was on okayplayer.com and there was a link to her site promoting for this album. i went to the site and this and maybe two other songs from the album were streaming. i listened to this song and the poem began to fallout of me. when the song stopped so did the poem. so i had to keep repeating it for days to finish the poem.

no, its not just you. dont feel bad. i dont understand how this song brought the poem “Danger” out of me. but it does substantiate my claim that all of poetry is Love poetry. all inspired by Love. thats why i begin with “im not angry…” because im not. really.

[this really isnt a poem. i am not sure what it is. what i am certain of is it is true.]

service service and service
is the answer
to getting all that the heart desires
from this world, the next world
and all other parallels worlds

the heart is treacherous, purify it with service
the ego is wild, tame it with service
the path is dark, light it with service

it is a diamond hidden in coal
it is gold hidden in dirt
it is a baby hidden in blood

it polishes the heart
it steadies the feet
and liberates the soul

the one whose back is burdened is carrying the whole of paradise
the one who has emptied his pockets is made light to fly with angels
the one whose forehead is on the ground is staring God in the Face
