Spiritual Sedgeway
As we know 'man' cannot live by bread alone....so this space is for that part of us that cannot be fulfilled by the material, political etc...It is non-demoninational and will attempt to draw upon 'Pearls of Wisdoms' from many sources. And the kind of spiritual focus that has aided in liberation of oppressed peoples.. known as 'Liberation Theology' Such as some examples here.

Also Art has played more than an insignificant role in the contribution of the black 'psyche'.

Islamic Patterns Part Three
(Excerpt)

ISLAMIC PATTERNS & GEOMETRY

Geometric motifs were popular with Islamic artists and designers in all parts of the world, for decorating almost every surface, whether walls or floors, pots or lamps, book covers or textiles. As Islam spread from nation to nation and region to region, Islamic artists combined their penchant for geometry with existing traditions, creating a new and distinctive Islamic art. This art expressed the logic and order inherent in the Islamic vision of the universe.

How are you? Strong of spirit? We hope so....The road is not for the swift...so stand firm and walk forward...There will be many obstacles in life...but the main thing is 'To thine own self be True.' Ultimately we only have one life. We cannot be everything to everybody, or even we must seek the counsel of a few...but we should try and move forward in grace and in Sisterhood and Brotherhood.

Geometric Motifs...Popular with Islamic Artists.
The wide spectrum of intellectual treasures allowed Islamic scholars to quickly embrace Greek philosophy and mathematics, translating and disseminating this knowledge for posterity. The works of Euclid and Pythagoras were among the first to be translated into Arabic.
The study of geometry also fed an ardent preoccupation with the stars and astronomy. All this in turn nourished the Arabic passion for creating infinite, decorative patterns.

 The cultivation of mathematical analysis, in particular, had a harmonising effect. Driven by the religious passion for abstraction and the related doctrine of unity -- al-tawhid, the Muslim intellectuals recognized in geometry the unifying intermediary between the material and the spiritual world.

Instruction of Merikare
Royal instruction and testament attributed to Khety III (a.k.a. Kheti, Akhtoi) given to his son Merikare who ruled during the tenth dynasty of
the first intermediate period (2130-2040 BCE) at Henen-nesut.
Justify yourself in the presence of God….

…a good disposition is heaven, but to defame the ill
disposed is dangerous.

Be skillful in speech, that you may be strong ….

…the strength of the tongue and words are braver than all fighting….

…a wise person is a school for people of influence….*
