makin mirrors with pictures and words, hoping the reflections don't disturb, but provoke the right kind of thinking.

Its been nearly a month since making that trek of over 6,000 miles to be here. These tracks in some ways represent different journeys; both ones I can speak to personally and ones perhaps you might be better equipped to tell a story about. In any case, these journeys are worth being a part of as you follow the voices and narrations of each song. Enjoy and make sure to visit www.audubonproject.com. My big bro is bound for greatness.

Peace.

There are times when we may find ourselves unhappy. Things don't always go the way we anticipate or hope them to. This summer has taught me a few things and though I don't yet have the words to fully or coherently articulate the lessons learned, I can say I've grown. I hope you've all been able to grow as well. We need to work through sadness, not ignore it or let it subside. At some point it will surface and it's best if it comes when you give it the time to consume you and allow it to continue its path onto the next person when you've had enough. This playlist is not fully reflective of my thoughts or experiences, but hopefully as a collective it will allow you to work through whatever it is you need to. These are some talented artists performing their own work or outdoing the originals (in my opinion). Enjoy and let me know what you think. Peace be upon you mi gente. Shout out to the great Ade Edward Raphael for giving me thoughtful feedback as usual.
