castle rockers!!!

Black Diamond Shining will be painting live at a castle called afterlife tonight. Its a exclusive invitation costume party with dance, live painting and art work displayed.....I will be time traveling there tonight...........

 To the break of dawn..when the roosters sings that song of a new day....the trees tell us how to live. the ground holds us in balance, the universe our mother extends here hand of love created by her. To become a planet rock as time moves in cycles. Who will become that light we used to turn on in Kemit. Who will love like the first burst of the big bang. Don't deny us for simplicity. Don't come with some worship of vanity. Don't play life out with confusion. You might need us one day when we become the spirits in your mind. Put on your true self and see how nature will love your progress.We are suppose to shine. Ask your true cells!!! eye loved you for a reason said our ORI !!! 

deadeyes..........

sun days for rainy eyes

love is the answer..........

black futurist

water has no enemies

bird hits window!

If I could talk to the the past with hope of getting heard. I'd say its  for a greater purpose no matter how negative of positive. But even I wouldn't have heard that then. So I promised my self to hear whats still being said to come...they are frequencies with answers. They are like birds who crash into windows who still looking dead will have the inner strength to get up and fly away. And "damn did the window hurt" said the bird.

black diamond shining..............hotep fam!

what would Tehuti do?

then we set sail of selves and crashed like test dummies and now live alittle more longer than toenails.....what would a wodabi woman do?

the stairs the stares!! by Ras Terms the ricky storm!!!

Staring at the stairs and seeing the tags of gangs and counting each step. about 72 steps up and every breath taken we hope is not mistaken for a heart shaken wrong. Becoming strong painting long nights alive and well with hell on one shoulder and with heaven deep in the mind far away that we might be blind at times. We are the DNA of the past living giving today I am the tragedy and the amazing spiderman that climbs and finds ways to make days better no matter the sweater you wear in the weather.

can I kick it?

creativtiy is a blessing from everything you believe to be good and God. Your creative powers are for the benefit of all creation. We are working with the universe to expand the self and others. That is an act of love. Use your creative powers with good intentions so that they can be forever!! Use it wrong and the universe responds accordingly! The ancestors want creativity!

eye-cult.....from the ends of the universe to the soil on this earth..lets rock this planet!!!

new day dawning

As the sun slowly rises behind the grey clouds today we make offerings. Let the past be the past and the things not necessary for our creative progress be gone. Nature is giving and taking. The universe and me and you and all are one. When we tap into our higher self we will see the blessings. The curses are also a blessings to this building of self progress. I cried, I laughed. They are here, they are gone. I am here we are here. so hold the heartbeat and keep stomping creation lovely with your subconscious black boots. And I promise you that you will shine like the morning sun....ASHE!

when we talk

The voice through the dim past being invoked through our sounds as they materialize themselves visually telling us that we will be here even after everything is gone..he sang that song saying we will be here forever. We are creating realities that are embedded into our subconscious. The creative spirit with love, with light, with faults, be free, free to invoke the past, for a future, but stepping in the now. Come on yall..rock the shell toes, dreadlocks or mohawks and come a shining.

A Little bit more.........
