"Always remember: your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn

A beautiful poem, for your edification. Thanks to my friend Karis for putting it in my feed.

I Feel Sorry for Jesus - Naomi Shihab Nye People won’t leave Him alone. I know He said, wherever two or more are gathered in my name... But I bet some days He regrets it. Cozily they tell you what he wants and doesn’t want as if they just got an e-mail. Remember Telephone, that pass-it-on game where the message changed dramatically by the time it rounded the circle? Well. People blame terrible pieties on Jesus. They want to be his special pet. Jesus deserves better. I think He’s been exhausted for a very long time. He went into the desert, friends. He didn’t go into the pomp. He didn’t go into the golden chandeliers and say, the truth tastes better here. See? I’m talking like I know. It’s dangerous talking for Jesus. You get carried away almost immediately. I stood in the spot where He was born. I closed my eyes where He died and didn’t die. Every twist of the Via Dolorosa was written on my skin. And that makes me feel like being silent for Him, you know? A secret pouch of listening. You won’t hear me mention this again

*ALERT* New song released! Very stoked on this one, and Frantic Rhymes and I had a blast putting it together. If our current Gauche Coach project is an orchestral rap-opera loosely following the Hero's Journey, then think of this new track as the Dragon's big solo number... All those knights in shining armour can suck an egg! Yeah, you heard me! It's time for the some real playas, some bonafide Dragons, to take the mic. #gauchecoach... #unsightly #uncouth #unkempt #poetrycommunity #kelownaartist #kelownahiphop #bcartist #bcartists #canadahiphop #kelownapoet #hiphop #hiphopartist #kelownamusic See more
