WINGS

June 19, 2017

So I've been feeling some amazing energy, angelic almost, and I was getting ready to post one of my favorite pieces, "Wings," when I came across Coodie Simmons #SundayBlessing: "The Man who has no imagination has no wings. -Muhammad Ali" So that energy I was feeling wasn't just my imagination. We have to pay attention to the signs. In spite of all the harm we see happening in the world we have to remember this is a spiritual journey. So in spirit of the blessings, the lessons, the ancestors, Muhammad Ali, my brother Coodie Rock, and vibing out to My Daddy's Records, here's "Wings" directed by my brother #Camovement... Much Love! #Chicago #MyDaddysRecords #DusableMuseum #SouthSide#WashingtonPark #HydePark #TarreyTorae #Cheynice #Slang #JoeKollege#MarshallKnights #BrandonCollins #EdithYokely
