"Ascemic Plant Identification" Water color and ink Work of Medusa Medina

What the fuck, Sleep?

So how it goes is how it folds

Meaningless words just in rolls

Two lines inn, & I can’t think of anything but polls

Like polls, I’m trying to make this work

How I wish it was easy but I can’t murk

Oh this is enough it’s time to quit

But fuck it, gotta go hard. I have to do it

Through it, youll realize this is my toolkit

I’m done .. I hope you had a blast

Oh at last , I know I ain’t Rust

But I feel like it’s a must, but my past

Too hard to let go, shit I’m at an outcast

Book 16 of 100: #claysark by #octaviabutler. It is the 3rd book of the #Patternmaster series. It is the story of many layers. Set in the near future of #mindofmymind, technically our current time, in a world thrown into chaos by both harsh climate change and socioeconomic gaps. The meaning of haves and have nots, are determined by walled cities and guns. A family on a road trip finds themselves at the mercy of abductors with a dark secret. #Nerdpost #reading #readinggoal #supportlibraries #100booksinayear #afrofrutrism

#SpoofSchool #16BarBookReports presents #MindOfMyMind by #octaviabutler Music: "Lovely Head" by Goldfrapp @goldfrappmusic @alison_goldfrapp Lyrics: Doro, you done created a monster / But be she the disease or the doctor? / The truth or the consequence? Because she gets into your mind and then / That's how this Patternist design begins / Ever wish they all could be California girls? / Well, be careful what you wish for / 'Cause you never know what Mary has in store / Not a little lamb, a little lamentation; revolution revelation / The first family of telepaths / Versus the grand bodysnatcher / All at the hands of the master black science fiction crafter / Octavia Butler, rest in peace, Madame / Mind Of My Mind, 'cause your mind is my mind / And my mind is your mind once you come to Forsyth / Will Mary make madness or music? / Well, she can do anything once she puts your mind to it . . .

#Mary I couldn't have said what I was doing. I knew Karl was still with me. His mental voice was still reaching me. I didn't mean to grab him the way I did. I didn't realize until afterward that I had done it. And even then, it seemed a perfectly natural thing to do. It was what I had done to the others. Others, yes. Five of them. They seemed to be far away from me, perhaps scattered around the country. Actives like Karl, like me. People I had noticed during the last minutes of my transition. People who had noticed me at the same time. Their thoughts told me what they were, but I became aware of them -- "saw" them -- as bright points of light, like stars. They formed a shifting pattern of light and color. I had brought them together somehow. Now I was holding them together -- and they didn't want to be held. Their pattern went through kaleidoscopic changes in design as they tried to break free of me. They were bright, darting fragments of fear and surprise, like insects beating themselves against glass. Then they were long strands of fire, stretching away from me, but somehow never stretching quite far enough to escape. They were writhing, shapeless things, merging into each other, breaking apart, rolling together again as a tidal wave of light, as a single clawing hand. I was their target. They tore at me desperately with the hand they had formed. I didn't feel it. All I could feel was their emotions. Desperation, anger, fear, hatred . . . . They tore at me harmlessly, tore at each other in their confusion. Finally they wore themselves out. They rested grouped around me, relaxed. They were threads of fire again, each thread touching me, linked with me. I was comfortable with them that way. I didn't understand how or why I was holding them, but I didn't mind it. It felt right. I didn't want them frightened or angry or hating me. I wanted them the way they were now, at ease, comfortable with me. - #OctaviaEButler , #MindofMyMind PB&J to my #yogapatnas #LifeisGood #OneLove

I treat Octavia Butler's books like scripture. I do believe she channeled ancient and future truth. Time to ReRead this gem of a book.#ReadABook #ScienceFiction #ReadingIsSexy #Books #OctaviaButler #MindOfMyMind
