The Jesus Factor 

Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass 

We’ve all heard of the light! That enlightening knowledge and understanding of how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will converge to give humanity a second shot at a life full of harmonious coexistence free of growing pain and suffering. But the uncertainties of daily life have given rise to a fear of lacking tomorrows wants in ways that justify an unprecedented need for hording greed. Under such external pressures, it’s time to question: How much of that light (e.g. peace, love, and joy) is actually still in you? 

Darkness is quickly spreading a blanket of worldwide despair; humanities intended fruits (e.g. kindness, goodness, gentleness, forbearance and self-control) are becoming but mere shadows as we walk along the corridors between “Once Upon a Time” and “It Is what It Is.” Thus question: How deep is the darkness within you? 

Seemingly overwhelmed, we fail to grasp the simplicity of common sense. Were we to just consider it all a matter of personal perspective and relevance! Were we to pause, reflect, and yes ponder it all long enough to realize it’s a matter of choice; then, the “I Am” greater from within than the surrounding world would flourish to voice: The Truth, The Way, The Light of Life! Easy? Not at all! Life is a journey needing you to traverse a wilderness full of unknown elements. And face it! Only a fool would venture such a task without a map, a legend and compass. So, ask: What is humanities map, legend, and compass? 

Getting beyond the semantics that keeps us in perpetual stagnation, God (whatever you perceive that to mean as able to take you beyond yourself) is a wise and available map to consider. Likewise, Jesus is a worthwhile legend to understand the many outlined objects you’ll have to face. And the Holy Spirit is a darn good compass investment to keep you on track. This reality can be hard for many to comprehend and accept. But for each of us trying to escape the confusing dark, God can be an incorruptible pure light of radiant love free of deceit and hidden agendas. Embracing such a thought of hope can drive out fear and invite a deeper relationship with Him (creator, universe, whatever), ourselves (regardless of intellect or status quo), and fellow beings (irrelevant of color, race or creed). It’s an evolving journey not an end! It’s a reaching for sincerity not perfection! And in a world where all tend to seek a role model to inspire and emulate, why not Jesus, who while walking among us did not regard himself God but rather offered himself to be an exemplary brother and companion for learning to love our neighbors as ourselves. What he said, what he did is not rocket science. It’s just about choosing and learning to BECOME MORE!

The Hurting Heart of Humanity -April issue

Image
  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

Voices in the wilderness - May Issue

Image
  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

What Did You Do - June issue

Image
  What did you Do Whether one believes and accepts it or not; we have been gifted, more so blessed with imbedded talents and skills to achieve and fulfill what many call some preordained destiny. Thus, we each have both the right, and the obligation, to coexist while pursuing that which would provide individual meaning and purpose. The very bible not only instructs us to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” but was referenced when this country’s founding fathers, asserting as self-evident, that all men are created equal, went on to coin the term “Inalienable Rights” to mean God given birthrights assuring “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” for all of earth’s inhabitants: Regardless of what legal guides man may seek to instill thereafter. So important “WAS” the thought that they went on to say, “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (as currently being witnessed), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish” what powers be and “institute a new gov...

Jan Article / 2021 - New Year, New Deal ?

Image
  Buffalo Latino Village Jan 2021article New Year, New Deal ?   Happy New Year! Its done! The ballots have been tallied, verified and announced. On January 20 th Biden enters as the new landlord and Trump exits as the delinquent tenant. But things seem far from over. Trump is not thinking of willfully vacating. So forget the drama and simply unleash the marshals with a court ordered eviction for negligence.  Like any of us, shouldn’t he be subject to arrest for trespassing. More so, shouldn’t his refusal to relinquish power be considered an act of mutiny : A crime punishable by death? But let’s wake up and face it; dominating the national discourse like no one before “Trump has been allowed to reshape the global office and shattered its century-old norms and traditions”. Fearing what’s supposedly waiting, he even seeks pardoning himself from any pending prosecutions. Funny how they call it an “ assault on the institutions of democracy ” without mention of “the...
