Is Transitioning to Natural or BC Considered a Trend or Change...to you? My Musings today.....

Trend.....The popular taste at a given time; Turn sharply; change direction abruptly

Change.....Make different; cause a transformation; Remove or replace the coverings of; An event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another

Now I've always considered a trend like changing styles of clothing, vehicles, shoes, etc....but on the other hand to make a change, in my opinion, is to move a way from a particular thing, scene, way, etc into another direction or way.

So, in saying this, personally to say that a person's choice to go to their own "natural state of hair" would have to be a change not a trend.  Even it one tranverted back to a relaxed stated, it is still a change, based on choice or opinion. Maybe there are some people who say....Oh I like the way natural looks...I want to do that or try it, not knowing each individuals purpose or reason for this transformation or change, so maybe I'm only thinking personally here.

To me the "change" to My God given natural state, was because if I'm gonna go an purchase kinky, natural looking, African looking hair, to cover a relaxed hair.....kinda dawned on me as ridiculous, when I was born with what I considered beautiful......wear my own. So, when I want to do something....i have my mind made up...i intend to do it.  

I did not want to wait on two differnt textures of hair to grow out....I wanted to embrace what I was born with.......BC (Big Chop) it is.......Ofcourse, my husband still had the mental state that straight, long hair is beautiful and was impressed by the decision, but respected my decision.....and so here I am two years later natural and loving it.....I have not intention of  ever going back to a relaxed state...this is my personal choice....."change"...not a trend, because my choice when deeper than seeing, liking and changing a style.....you don't chop off your hair for a trend......It was a deep, heart-felt decision,, in which I have not regrets.....I feel My Creator made us all in various likes and ways and Afrikans/Blacks were made in the beauty that was intended.....we were just brain-washed that our hair is nappy.....unacceptable in society....etc.....How in the world do you brain-wash an entire race that what they were born with is "unacceptable".......How? that what grows from the roots of your head from birth, is unacceptable and not good enough.....and it has been eaten like ripe fruit and digested for centuries.......Unbelievable right? So digested that it has become and unconscious though....."normal" to relax your hair and children, before they even know what it is.....It's ok.....I'm not judging....I did it too....it's what I was taught....to burn the crap out of my daughters head, to straighten her kinks......hmmmmm.......

When I chopped my hair off....my daughter said "Why do I have to have that stuff in my head to burn my head and you don't"......I looked at her and I said.....you don't......I explained all of the above and she has been natural for 2 years and she will tell anyone the same things that I have stated with confidence.....Thank God/dess I never put my baby girl through it!!

I felt I should be able to wake up comb/style my hair just as I was born with it, like any other race, without feeling the need to look like them.  I love me just the way God made me.  Some of us were not even given the choice to relax, it was made for us, by our parents, because of a mental slavery.....To them straight, relaxed hair was seen as beautiful....sure it is...if thats what God gave you, but I don't feel the need to look like someone else to see the beauty in myself....my only regret is that I hid the true me inside for so long, that I robbed myself this taste of joy and freedom for to long......I am grateful for the knowledge before I allowed my girls to go through the same experiences of damage, breakage, cutting, relaxing and the cycle through life over and over of self- abuse and self-hatred.......

I can't say that they won't decide to make changes when the become adults, but I can know that I have instilled self love in them and that they will know that they are Beautifully Created, just the way they are........No Trends....Just Changes for the Best....Conscious Knowledge of Self......  : ) 

And they will know that if any man they meet wants long, straight hair and tries to convince them they are any less beautiful than they were created..... they better go buy it and wear it their damn selves.....lol

Because We Were Crowned By Birth!!!!!!

Guide to my destination,

Leading Mighty Whirlwind,

Spirals of Spiritual Wisdom present a tornado,

Ready to take on all!

Kinky,

Full of strength and force!

My frizzy,

My curly bunch of tightness

Like mini twisters,

going left,

going right,

Complex and swift led

…..and underneath- wavy funnels of black frizzies,

The drive of My Sistahncestors

It is the steering wheel’s control of My future,

A flashlight that guides the Earth’s magnificence,

Transmitted on from ancient memories,

A mass of inherited twisted knowledge,

Yet Spiritual channeled to be known.

Separating into tiny, spring-like, corkscrew shaped,

Thick,

Bushy,

Wooly mass, carried from antediluvian Goddess,

Perfectly, Master-made brown and black beauts.

My crown

The rise of My Fullness,

A continuously expanding growth…..

Outward-

Upwards-

Because, it guards My Goddess

My Crown

….crowns a Mighty Feminine Cocoa Queen…..

Confusion to the enemies,

Connection to My Sistah Goddess……protected

Crowned by Birth!

Take a Yo' Hell an' Yo' Wheels

Take A Yo' Hell An' Yo' Wheels by Urth Eagle

“LoveTransformstipulations”

bald.

nappy.

bushy.

curls-tight.

It is who I am. It is my birthright!

head,

thighs,

arms,

butt’s all getting’ bigger;

Ignored the lives carried, throughout My life;

Body transformations you see?

Yes.  The obvious, it is that you observe.

Absorb.

My Soul's Love’s reflections, you’ve neglected;

-I’m determined to focus on elevating My Mind’s Intellect.

Education.

Spiritual levitation.

Penetrating the always transforming, exterior visuals you depreciate;

pushing….advancing…enduring in life……I stand. 

spine of alloy……I stand.

consistent with My conviction to learn more of Me! I stand!

eliminating callowness that surrounds me;

trimming physical and mental weight simultaneously,

Knowing your thoughts are simple,

Yet if allowed, your words severe……

Thing Is~

As you’re viewing my exterior transformations, intellectually at halt

My mental revelations ….my emergence will have surpassed you

 All along, as Life sets Her Mastery Scene

My soul….My heart…. It had incessantly remained

Ever-growing, but always reserving Her same love;

With all you perceived with your eyes,

Deep within My Heart’s Soul, my loe, still rested

Eye Content as Am….happily black, bushy, & thick;

I am, as well, renewed and lighter in all ways

How?

How? Now, do you ask me to accept your stipulated love?

There are no stipulations in love

Love gives, unconditionally

Love pours, like an overflowing tub of warm peppermint bath

Love feels, like warm coconut milk overflowing beautiful, brown smoothness

Love’s touch is your flesh….my flesh…..which, is no longer he and she, but we

Love is not 2 but, the connection of Souls, who have become “One”

Love is the part of Souls that is The Over-comer of the hell that life presents,

Giving Lovers the strength to carry on….!!

Love Just Is!!

True love “cannot” transform to stipulations.

True Love can not only transform stipulations,

She makes them non-existent.

I love Me….. un-con-ditionally I know My worth, My potential, My efforts, My desires, As long as I continue to soar & reach for my dreams, My expectations of me are never too much; Looking within, vs. the average, who can’t see? Can’t see. …..passed what’s only physically visible… To their likeness- conscious beings= unconscious minds= unconscious eyes.

Sweet Revelations

Sweet Revelations Sitting outside I connect Spiritually speaking with Goddess Asase Yaa It is again revealed to me the many unknown beauties of Wombyn Looking down, I see the beauteous Tree Goddess rising up, from within the earth Rising into secure, earth trees, which produce oxygen, which in return sustains life to humanity…..as Wombyn does for fetus….Isn’t this so? Yes. Then I look over at the light post, between the soft leafiness of uniquely, awesome, yet dissimilar trees here- I see that the tall, woody light’s post, which is just so….of wood (smiling), which is made of “Her” Trees- Like ‘man’ is from Woman and without “Her” he does not exist, just as the wooden lamppost cannot exist, without Her precious tree’s bark I relax, sitting back- smiling…..eating of this spiritual meal…..joyous at life’s sweet revelations- So sweet! Now- Looking up again- there are about 8 wires carrying electric currents Visualization and conscious thought-processes in over-drive!!! I see you Mother! I see you’re light… …..understanding through spiritual revelations presented daily, The Light of God/dess!…. these electric currents are transferring power and light to Her children all over! Of Goddess, of our Creator tonight!!! I see!......I see that you transfer Your Power and Light to your children all over the universe….Eye See. It is infinite. It is ever. She is alway. A powerful force presents here ----- In the quietness of nature….of trees and the breeze…a force of light ever-present in Wombyn’s possession…. In some it lies dormant In others it’s in its conscious awakening. And “know” that it is also, so, that in some of us – it’s currently being reflected and manifested into the universe. And I have peace as I can ingest and digest the peace of sweet revelations tonight. 3/14/11 © LeTisha.Bowie 2011 Sweet Revelations by Urth Eagle

Urth & Earth Audios 1

Urth & Earth Poetic Audio 1 by Urth Eagle

Euphonic Magical Soul Vision

Euphonic Magical Soul Vision

You see me smile

despite my trials,

Hearing My Spirit’s Voice

through my eyes,

When you hear me hum

to the beat of my Heart’s drum,

My chariot of melodies…..

My interior space

Multitudes of notes float about my embrace,

Giving birth to unknown tunes

Carrying me along this bumpy ride, beneath Her Moon,

Laced with dreams, hopes, desires and love

Spiritually connected to God-dess Earth, Moon, Sun high,

Musical Magic, consoling Life’s disasters

Mother Earth’s Energies, creating delicate ballads,

Short, long stanzas are some…..

Poetry…..lacking the necessity of words,

Bold, vigorous sounds, inventing new strengths within Eye

Eye’m smiling…..Eye Am……In spite & Despite it all,

Knowing that Eye must stand, or else Eye fall

Eye must decline into the depths of Me,

Humming the Angelical melodies…..the music….this presents:

Her……pleasur-ous, satisfying, sensational vibrations…..

Of Eye…. ~Tis the Euphonically, mesmerizing magic of the music in My Soul

U See

"Feeling Good" ~Nina Simone

Freedom is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know what I mean..................New Dawn ....Its a New Day for Me!!!!!

Mama Made A Way

I wrote this when i was in high school, then last year, while talking with a publisher- I tried and tried to edit it, shorten it, etc....to make it into more contemporary poem style, but it's not. It's not nearly the full story, but a brief one of my mothers love and I've decided to share it just as it was written, and as I remember it in its length. Mama made a Way by Urth Eagle

"Do I Move You" Nina Simone

I love Nina!!! and listening to this song today- I wanna know- do I move you???!!!!
