Truth
One man’s truth is another man’s lie/
What makes one smile will make another man cry.
What is truth and who has it? Is truth subjective like the tastes of what is fashionable? Can truth be total? What does it mean to be true to one’s self? Does one ever really know what is real?
…I’m saying work backwards and undo all this mess that you got yourself into. Yes, you! The lie that you accepted as true when it never really fit right in the first place. You know that doctrine that just never sat right; the tenet that irked you. You know what I’m talking about. Undo the whole mess and go backwards. What do you like and what do you love? What do you know to be true and good. Not what someone told you but what was really true for you.
Seek the wildnerss in the asylum for then and, only then, will you be free. Or maybe you won’t. I have no answers, no promises and not even the master teacher of experience to support any of my claims. This is mere speculation. Speculation of what could be and what may be.
Sojourn and travel the real path of spirit.

Greetings!
Sitting here not really knowing what to write says one of a few things.
- I am utterly unispired (please say it’s not that!) and I have nothing to write about
- My mind is so constipated that I can’t get anything out
- I can’t focus myself because for the last few weeks I have been working at a rate above the national speed limit for slaving employees
Maybe it’s all three! What despair that would provoke!
Well, this post is a quick one really. Just to say I’m still living, still striving and all is well with your brother.
Peace!

The productionist is a man who conjures. The productionist has no face. He has no name. He has no identity. In fact, the productionist is you. He is me. He’s the man standing next to you in Starbucks, on the bus during the commute to work. He is everywhere. He often knows not where he is for he finds it difficult to find himself. He lies deep within; creviced in the light recesses of the very being. I hope you all find the productionist; for his magic is eternal; his light inextinguishable, his strength indefatigable.

Happy (if ever so slightly belated) new year!
As you’ve probably guessed by now, we’ve had the baby. A little girl, ‘AP’… back in December. She’s wonderful (yes I know I’m gushing) and we’ve been spending most of our time cooing over her, sleeping (or not sleeping) and just adjusting to yet another big change.
This is just a quick post to check in and say I plan to start blogging more often again. AP is sleeping beside me at the moment and is due to wake up for lunch any moment so I’ll keep this one short.
I’ve just been on the Curly Nikki website after a 3 month hiatus (not that I’ve bothered to sign up as a member, but it is a really good website for natural and curly hair info), and seen that she along with Kim Coles* have issued a natural hair ‘Grow Out Challenge’. I got all excited until I realised I’d missed the start of it, and although I know it’s not too late to start, I think I’d like to rally up some support of my own and just start my own challenge in March, but following exactly the same rules. That way some grlfriends and I can do it together and encourage each other. I’ll copy the rules out and post them on a page of their own (propably with a few tweaks of my own).
I’m thinking I might organise a monthly get together with a few friends who take up the challenge for us to share our tips, tricks and trials with one another, but I’ll worry about that later. This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while to be honest, (Neesh and I talked about before the wedding, but we just never got round to doing it), so I guess seeing the ‘chalenge’ gave me incentive to get started.
Speaking of getting started, I better go and finish undoing my hair if I want to wash it and get round to making dinner before going to church tonight… I’ve only got a quarter of my head left to go, but AP is already stirring.
Gotta go

* If you’re an 80′s baby like me you might remember Kim Coles from ‘In Living Colour’ (the Wayans brother’s show from the early 90′s) or ‘One on One’ in the noughties.
