How can I say thank you enough to all the people of the world, On March 1 ,2008 I Burning Spear became 63 years old, The day started with a great fruit basket from my brethen Keith, that was the first sign of a successful day to come.
Then Sonia and I headed off to Magic Shop studio with our heart feeling so bless, the night before I say to Sonia Birthday are not about big party for I man "Its a about life to be able to be here today ,and just to be healthy is enough for I man. What more can I ask for Jah have given I man more than I could dream for myself
Sometime we say we are happy yet we are not happy because we base our happiness on other people or on the out come of things we let people drag us into to determine our happiness.
Well I am happy and I have all intention to remain happy, this was my present to myself. I will live my life in the present moments, and keep my ego in check not to react to what others think I should react to.
We arrive at Magic Shop to connect with Doug and Kirstin and Amy and Chris Daley and Brian to put the final touch on Jah Is Real. We were later joined by Sonny and Janet and brother Asher and Dave O'. Yes we had a listening party for these wonderful friends that take the time to join I man in the studio.
Oh what wonderful gifts of meaning they brought with them. I could felt the thought they put into the gifts they bring for the old Rastaman.
The energy was running high in Magic Shop Studio love and peace was every where,Yes I was really happy and relaxed, this was the first time I ever had a listening session for my fans, I wanted them to hear this new studio work, Jah Is Real. No this is not my ego I am just a proud servant of His Majesty that have stand the test of time.
With all the excitement in the studio Kirstin and her crew with Doug was able to work on the EPK, I made sure to remind Doug to wear his hat for the interview we did together, Kirstin and her crew stay focus they turn the studio into their own movie set. I am so sure I choose the right person for the job, Thank you Kirstin and crew for a wonderful job. You all are really talented.
