How many of us have make mistake in our lives and have handle things in a way it should never be handle? I have learned this from a book I am now reading “Whatever you fight you strengthen and what you resist persists. I am sure all of us can reflect to a time when we did not have to get almost naked to travel on an airplane, now you can’t even bring a bottle of water on an airplane. Each time you watch the news someone is taking out their anger on innocent people just shopping in a mall or school. The world today as we know it is changing. Everyone say they want peace yet some will go out of their way to create war. And “eye for and eye will leave the whole word blind.” I say I want peace so I must do whatever it take to have peace and that is what I am doing right now.
Jah create this earth with his strength and Resistance and I know this. Do any of us truly have secrets and what are secrets? In life there are no secrets. Their was a time in I man life when I was young and fit I used to play soccer for hours and ran 14 miles almost everyday that why they used to call I man Rebe short for Creation Rebel.
Anyone who knows I Winston Rodney will tell you I don’t like to talk too much. I am a man of few words, but when I talk I really talk. Many that claim to know me don’t know me and have never even seen me face to face. I don’t feel I have to defend myself. The work I have put in from 1969 until this time will speak for itself. I was blessed and given the ability to travel the world my passport tells the story. I am like the bird that has now settle in the nest old and grey but full of strength and energy.
Each and everyday my mind reflect back to the young people I met in Kenya. Has any of them lost their lives in this tribal war? Will I be able to see them again? It’s like a moment in time just stop for my thought when it comes to Kenya. From one moment to the next we all have no idea what is going to happen to any of us. We must now be happy and live in the present. "Unconsciousness, dysfunctional egoic behavior, can never be defeated by attacking it”. "Even if you think you defeat your opponent, the unconsciousness will simply have moved into you, or the opponent reappears in a new disguise.” Those quotes were taken from the book A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. What do I really need to fight for to support my ego I cannot control what someone else think or feel about me? And I don’t have to wear any labels that anyone put on me.
The crime they want to charge I man for I am not guilty it’s not possible. I am only following in the foots step of the honorable Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. I can only just imagine what those man had to truly endure to get the true message across to the people. How many people came among them just to distract them from there mission at hand? How did they really feel to stand up and fight for the right of our people and handle the many distraction? This make me truly wonder and see where I must find my strength and don’t feed into the distraction. I have no intention to become a part of any unnecessary fight about nothing.
My way is long and the road is foggy foggy, Jah will be I and I eye sight, they and them that hate I they and them that fight against I some of them is judging I wrongfully but never mind my brother I will go on.
How many could have endure the harsh treatment we face, the pure disrespect that you can see and feel when people cannot have control over your mind and thought and business? Let he that is perfect throw the first stone. I am in no way perfect I am just a man not a rich man, I am bless with riches of mind and thought.
Some can't understand why I am still around. What make people love I man music so much? All I can say is think long and hard of any decision you make that you think will hurt anyone. When you think you have the perfect plan that you cannot go wrong, that’s when Jah will step in to humble each and everyone one of us. To some, labels like hypocrite and old liar is what they see in me and that ok. For them I will not try to change their minds or resist against them or direct my journal to them.
None can kill this Lion. The Lion have a right to live. I come In Peace, old and free. One Love keeps the Spear burning.
If you fling the Spear it will stick up, it will never fall.
Give Thanks I am not the worse
