To those who are having a rough holiday season: Sometimes just joy is all we need. We need joy and health more than a blunt or a forty.. And I know it can be stressful but please, believe me....we can overcome debt, depression and any obstacle. All the keeping up, all the stress, all the emotion....it is because we love someone. We dont want to let someone down. Took me years of silently battling success, failure, dominance and depression, too much money or too mucb money problems, health , lost loved ones., Things I didnt think you dealt with in your late teens and early twenties--- things I wouldnt wish on my foes nor their fawn. Years of it man. I mean dude, I had it all. Cream of the crop. Money, super model girlfriend, REALLY young. So young I messed it all up by 22. Lost everything. Never got it back either I got more depressed. So depressed that I tried reaching for the top again to get myself out of the rut. I was 25 then and I wanted to be born again for my birthday. But the Universe said No. Not yet. Then the year of Saturn Rising came. The year I succeed or die. The year I am introduced to everything from southern wealthy living to northern homeless shelters to Tony Robbins. From misery to magic. There was no beautiful woman or wads of cash that got me to change this time. It was me. Just me..... It was Buddha. In all, and I mean all, sense of the word. It is the infinite, limitless, peace and wisdom I have attained by simply one day saying : Im starting over.and meaning it. And taking it day by day. Oh man no one knows what hell I went through to finally find my path again and celebrate this Christmas with my mother, my sister, my family. No one knows. I never talked about it. Wrote a lot about it. Rapped about it. No one listened. But then I realised the people that matter are. That is what is magical. That my dear is Christmas. The pain we go through to just be happy and share that joy with our families and friends and even new strangers. That is the magic in Christmas. I beg you all to see and appreciate that magic. The magic that we made it here We left our bullshit over there We bought the toys We brought the boys The rain is stopping The kids are hopping And we all can be here to sit and watch. The joy it brings to just sit and watch. I used to be the man in the centre. Now I have become a man at my centre. And I am glad that we lie to ourselves about this moment Of Forever. We need the magic of this moment To keep us warm through our lives And this December. So remember this time. Remember this time. Remember our lives and our legacies. Remember her and his favourite recipe. Remember there is order to this entropy. Because this is the magic of Christmas. The magic of joy and wanting to be joyous Loving and wanting to be loved. Rich and wanting to give riches. Even if its not all there Christmas is the magic, the Santa, the baby, the faith, the love, The hope, the joy, the family, the peace in the air! Christmas is here! I am here! You are here! And its the most wonderful time of the year! ------by Jean-Richard Latortue Dedicated to all of you. Especially you.
