Sometime you have to make appointment with His Majesty and tell him about all of your inner feelings and thoughts. Life is journey and I always say it’s not how you fall it’s how you rise.
I went to the Grammy to enjoy a show and came home with a Grammy for the best reggae album for 2009. I was truly shock and must say base on my experiences these past four years I can tell you Jah is Real. A few went after me and Sonia with a vengeance because of greed and the more they would try and destroy us the more stronger we became.
What they don’t understand we are protected by the Holy man, I tell you these confused people did everything you could think of they kept all of my money and destroy all those CDs, and make various threats yet I and I stand strong and focus.
We know that Jah had a plan for us and these people were our lesson, I say to you believe in yourself and never be afraid to follow your dreams.
Jah Is Real was testimony of I man Burning Spear, I made sure to write my own liner notes, I wanted to keep it real tell my story in my own way. We made sure that Jah Is Real when from my hands into your hands.
Winning the Grammy was a true blessing and having Kevin there with me was even a bigger blessing. Kevin sudden health issue with Brain tumor hit us really hard and we suffer major trauma thinking that we would have lost Kevin yet I went ahead and finish up the Jah Is Real shows because I know that what Kevin would have wanted me to do.
Sonia stays back and took care of Kevin and the business. I truly don’t know how she did it, she stays focus and determine, and thanks to Bikram Yoga she made it through. Kevin never lost hope in Jah and when faced with life and dead he choose life, always saying Jah Is Real.
I see how important it is for us to enjoy our life and to live in the moment, if we didn’t do something right and have faith in the Creator then Kevin would not be here today.
We must all make appointment with His Majesty and pray and meditate every day giving thanks for life, Money cannot buy life or happiness, it only buy things.
I would rather to be friends with the animal than to be a target for Babylon. I have seen the moon shine so bright in the sky, and know that with each new moon we have a new start of life, How many nights I hear Sonia cry to the moon and the star that shine outside of our bed room window, it is as if the moon and star came to comfort her soul telling her that she must endured, Rainbow shining over the sea showing us that our life will be at peace, and we should never let anyone disturb our peace that the Creator have provide us with.
It's love and peace time. I refuse to walk around bitter because other would want me to feel bitter, I and Sonia surrender them in the sea in Negril while watching the sun set over the blue ocean of the warm Jamaica waters.
Out of the darkness come light, our of pain come pleasure. Accepts the things the challenges you and I question at time know that Jah Is on our side , know yourself and don’t be afraid to silent your mind with your breath.
Since the Grammy win my phone have not stop ringing. Everyone have idea of what good for me to do, they have no idea of the hard work I and Sonia put in.
The good people do and they are rejoicing with us, as we slowly go into exile to enjoy this moment in time and proudly getting ready to make more history.
This is a time for thank giving and honoring of the Creator for standing by our side while we travel on this journey of life. The worst thing we could do right now was to become a target for Babylon; we are human being we don’t have to become human doing. Sonia and I learn this in our Bikram Yoga class.
It’s ok not to do anything, and any decision I make will be my own. I and you have a right just to be happy and live our best life yet. Each day is a brand new day let start each new day fresh, dream big for yourself, whatever you wish for will come true if you truly believe.
Anything you lost will be found in time no need to go searching for it. Up on the rock I sit where the river and the sea meet as one in perfect harmony am I not a lucky man to be Sixty four years young today rocking to the Beat of the Dub of Jah is Real in my basement?
You and I are born to win not to lose, in my vision I can see from a distance all the great men and women that have paid the price so we all can be free, I am happy to be me a humble servant of His Majesty.
Jah have given I Winston Rodney the best earth day present of all, health and the knowledge to know that I am just a man, not a rich man a Rastaman. The Lion of Judah shall break every change and give I the victory again and again.
Today I stretch forth my hands and ask all of you my family and friend to stretch forth your hands to reach my hands, our heart shall beat of as one with the sound of Burning Spear. Let the silent sound of the drums of freedom and love touch your heart today as it touched mines.
Let not any hate be in your heart to day for anyone, empty the hate if there is any, and replace it with love and life.
One Love Jah Is Real Keep The Spear Burning.
