I am excited that I have been blessed to bring you the "Spoken Word with Slater Hayes" for five consecutive years.
Today marks the initial episode for the 6th year-I am so excited, for I have been inspired to write new pieces, endeavored to revise pieces that have been previously published-all now containing a sound bed that gives each piece the resonance they deserve.
I hope you enjoy and understand the relevance of this first offering into year 6.
"The Power of Oneness"
was written prior to the first "NO KINGS DAY' . During those protests , persons who had never felt the need to march, found themselves on street corners peacefully speaking out against those various nefarious actions being perpetrated by the current office holder at 1600 Pennsylvania and his administration-actions that directly affected their lives.
Honestly, I am often left to wonder as to why I am being led to write each piece that I deliver. However, it seems that EACH piece seems to speak directly to what is occurring or is about to occur within these states united.
After witnessing the events in Minneapolis, there now appears to be true spirit of solidarity that has been awakened among the masses.
Let's keep it real-that AWAKENING seems to be more prevalent among whites.
It is my prayer that this same spirit continues after this current set of self-inflicted harm is remedied and that all of mankind comes to understand the full MAGNIFICENCE of life that is available to us when we learn to live in harmony.
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!
PEACE!
