Hot Fun In The Summertime….

 I am on fire! Surges of positive creative energy flow through my spirit fueled by the warmth of the sun.   When I am surrounded by the accoutrements of summer, vibrant colors, drumming circles, street festivals, concerts in the park, sisters sitting on the stoup braiding hair, Bermuda short wearing brothers with that swagger in their walk and rhapsody in their talk, the sound of children playing, the smell of food grilling and ahh the beach; my creativity is at its height! I am at home when I am basting in the rays of the sun; that familiar place where I can process beautiful thoughts of peace and tranquility. As a practitioner of the oral tradition, handed down from generation to generation, a kaleidoscope of sweet soliloquies of love, historical accounts, and personal thoughts are released from my psyche and flow from heart, to mouth, to receptive ears. I embrace my destiny with open arms, for I am a sun kissed being! Yes, It’s summer and the heat of the sun is sizzling and so am I….because when the sun is shining and the temperature is hot, for me, anything is possible!  Ashe!
