excerpt from Ever Ready

entry picture

I was born expecting revolution and every day it did not come I was disappointed. What I did not understand came to me in a revelation of sorts; we live in perpetual revolution. I was waiting for it ignoring its ever presence. Revolution like evolution is 365 degrees of subtle adjustments, shifting paradigms. - From Bottomless Sky - Ever ready for revolution never ready to be enslaved. What? Is revolution. Its every little resistance to gravity its the diaspora relentlessly teaching improviXation to a world resisting progress its where the rub lies. Its rising past momma to our own council and graduating from every institution by the skins of our souls.
