My article last year this time, Coming in from the cold landed me several networking opportunities, and speaking engagements and was published in a pan African journal from out of Guyana. I was in Dominica at the time reflecting on how Marley’s legacy can yet impact upon Caribbean realities in ways beyond the profane cultural … More So much things to say
The point of chrismography is not to endorse, nor even comment on the peculiar religious cultures, traditions and theologies of those involved; but merely to offer visual stimulation focused on interactions with Spirit that demonstrate human potential beyond the frameworks of Billiard-ball mechanical cosmological theories that postulate randomness rather than intelligence (Design) as the engine … More Chrismography
At a time when some have expressed concern that our civilizational project might be under threat by the present intimidation, this is a refreshing breath and reminder that the foundations of our civilization are made of sturdier stuff, but also that we have a burden in our generation to ‘rebuild the city walls’ – restore … More Unity or Bust
Admittedly, Trump is a bit of a character and there is a certain level of cinematic drama involved with invading a country, kidnapping its president and dragging him through the streets of your cities limping in leg-chains.
