It doesn’t want,
It doesn’t flaunt.
Most of all, it doesn’t shame —
It shares in blame.

It kids,
It chides,
It never hides.

Love is this.
And it is that.
It lifts you up —
But it’s never flat.

And most of all,
To feel it at all —
You must
Fall.

🥇This Day in History – Sept 5, 1960
Cassius Clay—later Muhammad Ali—won Olympic gold in Rome.
Light heavyweight champion at just 18.
The world had no idea what was coming.
Here’s my tribute.

muhammad ali
clever was he
size of a train
hit like cocaine
grace of a fly
covered in butter
he definitely was
so phi.

📚 This Day in History – Sept 5, 1957
On the Road was published today.
Kerouac’s myth hit the page.
Here’s mine.

on the road again
just can’t wait
to get on the road again—
the life i love
is making beat books
with my friends
and i just can’t wait
to get on the road

🛰️ This Day in History – Sept 5, 1977
On this day, NASA launched Voyager 1.
It still sails, bearing our message to the stars.
Here’s a small poem I wrote for it:

Voyage on, Voyager
Voyage on, Voyager,
so far from home.
Your path I do not begrudge—
you’ve ventured far,
too far for me to follow.
For I would miss my hollow.

So what are we really looking at when we open the screen: the world, or the mirror?

Na frente lá vem ele, o mensageiro!

Ele pediu, e fico muito feliz de ter feito, fico muito grato de compartilhar essa arte, peço a Exu que cuide dos meus caminhos, que minhas trocas sejam justas, que seu axé sempre esteja na minha vida gerando transformação.

#Nimona is just incredible!!

You can also view Nimona as a female #Eshu in the Brazilian traditions of #Umbanda

She is absolutely of that energy.
