I was at a restaurant yesterday and this song came on. Actually, they were playing the entire Erykah Badu<\/a><\/strong> “Baduizm<\/a>” album. It brought me back! I was feelin these emotions come up and remembering high school and my first love in North Carolina and that crazy journey we took together. My spirit was so young and so innocent then. I was so naive to this harsh world. I was very aware too, being conscious of oppression and things like that since I was already troddin Rastafari<\/a><\/em>, being a vegetarian and aware of spiritual and metaphysical dimensions, but in the world of love and relationships, I was a dreamer and believer in true love and destiny. And while I still am a dreamer and believer of true love and destiny, heartbreaks have definitely left some wounds. But there is always Next Lifetime…<\/p>\n

And when I say that, I don’t necessarily mean next incarnation.. like reincarnation.. even though that is the idea expressed in this song, but next lifetime can also mean a new phase in this life. Right now, I am entering into a new phase in life. Dreams and Aspirations are being manifested and fulfilled. New love is right around the corner too. Wealth<\/em> and Abundance<\/em> in all things desired is unfolding before my very eyes. There is no lack of love, which is something Amma<\/em> taught me in her embrace. You just have to learn to tap into that unlimited source within. Like Butterflies, as Badu sings about in this song, metamorphosis is transforming us into the truest expressions of our selves. Our most beautiful souls are sharing love in the infinite space of existence.<\/p>\n
