She Panic Reading: March 25, 2009

What a fabulous evening!

Charlie Vazquez of Fire King Press/Queer Latino Estoeric organized a marvelous line-up in honor of Women's Month with the theme: *multicultural meditations on female desire*. Nowhere was all aflame last night, the room filled with scintillating lit heat. My heart was also warmed by the cast of supporters that came out to hold me up. As some of you may know, readings are not my strong suit. I suffer from MAJOR performance anxiety syndrome. But for some reason, my inner warrior Goddess was awakened and I 'performed' just fine. Thank you EVERYONE for showing so much love for me and for the arts. And thanks to those who couldn't make the event - your positive energy was all around me holding me close (especially a certain someone very special to me - I love you, baby). I'm unsure when I'll be doing another reading, but stay close to Scribe Vibe for any and all updates.

Upcoming Reading THIS WEEK!!!!

Not to be missed!

So it is RARE that I do a reading, so please come out if you can to support. You know I'm THE nervous nelly regarding these public speaking thangs - so bring a sister a valium if you're holding. :). See you there!

Firewood

I took this photo while in Ghana and initially I referred to it as "Lady carrying firewood on the Cape Coast." Now, I simply call it "FIREWOOD."

ETERNITY

Eternity

Rosalind Christine Lloyd

Eternity;
Flung like a whisper of an aria,
against the thunder
of wonder
of an infinite, extended center
of waves of oceans that roam
and condone
the epicenter of
closed minds
that fail to find the soft strength
in endless waterfalls
that taste of golden inner peace.


The determined rush rush
of persistent showers that push push
into forever pools
that glisten like invisible jewels
that release a spectacular spray
of cerulean, slate, shades of blue, shades of grey
into bottomless vessels
of unlimited thresholds
of an undeniable existence
subconsciously conscious
or
consciously subconscious
Fluidly – Fluidity
Forever

Photography perhaps.....

Creativity is Abstract.

Expressing myself has not always been fluid. But, my love of travel has turned my desire of documenting my adventures to something more aesthetically motivated. In other words, I'm into photography. I found not only does it capture moments in time, but it adds a special visual to something that I can put to words later.

In 2004 I spent some time in Italy. Many people are generally drawn to Florence, however, I was infatuated with Rome (and Venice). This particular photo is of Bar Toto in the Jewish Ghetto. What I find fascinating about visiting old cities is the combination of the new and the ancient. Is the marriage of the two disruptive or inevitable?
