A Requiem For A King: #RIPChadwickBoseman


May the ancestors greet him with a chorus of 10,000 drummers. The light that he brought to the world, wasn't his apparent fame and undoubted success, this was a soul force that illuminated the world with his empathy, wisdom, compassion and understanding.
Riches and fame are as of nothing without, the love and one's family, good health and longevity. This brother would have been a shining light even if he were the poorest man in the world.
It is your health, not your wealth that is your real blessing, and our mission is not to blindly amass the trinkets and baubles of a godforsaken consumerist world but to seek wisdom and understanding, to be authentic, to love and be loved for who we are.
Our shining black Prince has now gone, we mourn his loss and we celebrate his life. This is no rich successful actor, our brother was so much more than that, he transcended beyond all that the material world could offer, and in his authentic compassionate beautiful African self, was an illumination to the entire world.
May he now rise in power. Our hearts are sad but our lives have been immeasurably enriched by his beautiful presence.
Goodbye, sweet prince...
