Personal Diary
Sunday, 18 October 2009
I don't know why my sinuses decided to act up this evening, but this nagging headache is aggravating me. I pray that I'm not coming down with another cold because that's the last thing I need at this moment. However, I'm faithful that this too will pass. Hopefully, it will be before my performance at the Unleashing the Voices: A Prayer for Domestic Violence Victims at the Princeton Theological Seminary tomorrow evening at 6:30 PM. I am so excited about this event because I'll be collaborating for the first time with Demetrius tha Poet and Tamara Davis, two of my dearest friends, in a chereopoem that will be off the chain!
Last spring, the three of us met our Tamara's apartment and discussed the
idea of this collaboration after I shared my poem, The Program, with Demetrius
the day after we did a poetry performance for the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter
of Delta Sigma Theta with our friends Tantra-zawadi and Jaz Poet. We had good
intentions to do something positive with this idea over the summer, but nothing
really manifested from our meeting due to our busy schedules. God works in
mysterious ways and He certainly did when Tamara called me last month and
invited me to participate in the Unleashing the Voices program. I agreed to
do so because I felt something special and positive would result from the
event, and I'm faithful that it will tomorrow evening. I was totally amazed
at our rehearsal this afternoon at Tamara's apartment in Princeton, NJ because
we brought some serious fire. It's a shame that the chereopoem focuses upon
a tragic topic like domestic violence and what its ripple effect can have
upon those involved under its negative influence. After we finished our rehearsal,
we discussed the possibilities of taking this divine opportunity much further
that I can't share at the present time. There are some things that are meant
to be private until the right time arrives. And I'm faithful and confident
that everything will fall into its proper place and perspective in the fullness
of time according to God's will. Yes, indeed!
