The residents of your hacienda

Every extorted beat gives birth to another lyrical gangster.

Every distorted news feed breathes life into truth manglers.

An army of impostures, soothsayers, and doppelgangers
Meet you along  staircases with  red and blue banisters
Curiosity drives society to hide and seek the answers

Would it be more fashionable to display impeccable manners? 

While you face of those alluring, assurances of  betrayal planners. 

Haunted is the doe eyed mask well worn over the years
Hand spun out of  seasoned dust and molded by our tears.

A paste hardened in the preheated shell of the universe
A disguise on the run that conceals the scabs of a curse

If you crawl back to the alter with merciful pleas for salvation 

Will the clouds part as the angels seat your party's reservation? 

Do you censor your thoughts during sacred meditation

Can you quell the rage that fuels such  righteous  indignation

Has vanity dismembered our sanity with elective surgical procedures?

Is healing and restoration an elite country club for dogmatic believers?

Is self interest, self-indulgence,  self-preservation your entire agenda?

Does dignity, courtesy, tolerance and prudence reside in your hacienda?  

The Historical Context

History can only be documented within the context of power and fortune

American Democracy and its Constitutional Premise cannot divorce itself from  individual liberty. 

Neither  its patriots nor traitors, for both thrive within its borders
  While bias determines their identity.

Modern Reality is shot through a sensational lens where humiliation, fame and isolation collide.

Prying  open the tombs of iconic beacons of  talent & virtue expose an obsession with immortality.

Our fixation with epic heroic adventures are pleas for redemption.

This rebellion of youth no longer serves me today. What time provides is a sieve that strains the excess run-off  from the nutrients.  

MACRO COSMIC SCRIPTS.. The Writer's Profile

Literacy Advocate is the definitive title I could offer. Beyond that, I have proven myself as a qualified customer service employee as colleagues would indicate that I am an effective administrative support specialist,  While business operations are cogs in the apparatus of my career, educational and social service programs are essential components of my work experience. Ultimately, I continue to balance the creative surge which drives me and the business practices that provide for my family in both the  academic and corporate terrain.   

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from West Chester University of Pennsylvania in 1999. During my collegiate years, I spent an incredible amount of time fine tuning my literary voice.  I feverishly wrote poems, essays, short stories and social commentaries on the human experience.  Frankly, my degree  course work was secondary to the commitment I made to my writing.   On campus I  worked as a student library aide and eventually as a part time  library acquisitions coordinator. This was my introduction to  the methodology and procedures of Administrative Office Support.  Graduation day shook  me out of my semi-conscious state and the professional market place became a functioning necessity.

I accepted a position with the US Dept. of Education as a senior research aide on the Civil Rights Compliance Report Project. While working in this capacity,  I provided public, private and charter school officials with an analysis of vital data reporting data. This information was instrumental in  funding determination for Title 1  and compliance programs in school districts across the nation. I remained with the OCR project until its completion.

 Instinctively, I bonded with  the intentions of  the OCR's educational initiatives, still I remained devoted to cultivating my passion for writing. I continued the early drafts of manuscripts which were the building blocks of my literary archive. Along the way there were  certain noteworthy individual milestones, (Motherhood in particular) Although I held a myriad of  short term customer service positions, I gravitated towards opportunities that were aligned with my affinity for academic and social service.  I accepted a job offer from Kaplan Test Prep and and Admissions,  The objective of my position at Kaplan was to help Nursing and Medical students prepare for their board exams, yet I remained preoccupied with the intellectual development of grade school students. (After all I had my own exceptional student's academic success to motivate me)  

Against All Odds Foundation, a non for profit organization based out of Newark, NJ offered me the chance to innovate. expand my abilities and grow professionally. My position as the agency’s Comprehensive Service Manger included the supervision of Supplemental Education Service programs in Essex county, Student intern facilitation, community partnership development, and fundraising initiatives. A.A.O. enhanced my ability to adapt and flourish amidst an ever changing job role. Coincidentally a shift in the direction of  the foundation, rerouted my attention to my brand Macro Cosmic Scripts Publishing and the subsequent emergence of the  "Lightning Language Arts Workshop©"

I yearn to distribute my curriculum across the country and ultimately the globe. 
It is a  creatively engaging  approach to Language Arts instruction. 
Structured  to  reinforce educational benchmarks  
Designed to promote literacy and effective writing for
  Elementary, Middle and High School students as well as


 Adult English Language Learners 

I drafted the curriculum for the workshop in  2007 to accompany the tutoring sessions I provided for Against All Odds Foundation. In light of the Agency's restructuring,  I was compelled to revise the program  infusing the insight gained from a position  I accepted in a Northern NJ Public School District. The  completion of this outsourced district support staff contract carved a new pathway for me as an independently contracted instructor. The new program model was launched  during my tenure as an  English/ Language Arts enrichment  teacher at Ivy Learning Academy in Rutherford, NJ  and Pioneer Academy in Wayne N.J. 

Today,  “Lightning Language Arts”  has proven itself to be an effective resource in bridging the achievement gap for students requiring supplemental learning services.  This Literacy Enrichment Program is designed to improve vocabulary, comprehension, and enhance academic compositions such as essays, reaction, response and research papers.Concisely, Lightning Language Arts© provides  innovative tutorial methods for improved writing skills. The program  further guides its participants through a constructive creative platform.  Through its featured creative writing elements, the program engages participants in an expressive outlet as they uncover social, cultural; political awareness.    

Writing Experience.....

My earliest professional writing break came in 2002.  I found myself perched in a glass fish bowl within a post -production nerve center for the recording industry, Masterdisk Multimedia Studios in NYC. Granted my time wasn’t occupied by red carpet interviews nor penning the next Billboard smash. I was given the awesome title of RECEPTIONIST. I was tethered to the switch board except when, making coffee, taking lunch orders or running reports with the billing manager.  Tenacious and inspired by the creative current surrounding me I drafted copy for the studio’s marketing brochures, newsletter and web content. The network of online publications associated with Masterdisk, presented me with a chance to write music and film reviews for publication. I continued to submit my manuscript to various publishing and literary agents for consideration.  Despite the wave of rejection letters I still trusted instincts and remained diligent.  Once I made the choice not to leave the fate of my writing career in the hands of a massive publishing company the answer became clear, however I had no clue where to begin. 

Graciously, a part time work assignment with a venture capital firm specializing in start up business financing helped guide me through the establishment process. My former Executive Manager has become a professional mentor Theodore Ellenis is a venture capital force of nature. He has been a champion of my tenacity.  It was  with his  direction that  was  I was able to establish Macro Cosmic Scripts Publishing. To date,  I have published, copyright protected and released 4 titles under my own banner. I extended the brand's operations to include business and creative writing services. I was able to draw from my exposure to templates, formats and content  absorbed during my position as Executive Assistant in the venture capital firm.

You are Watching tales from the Cowbirfly

.  

A color blind bigot stands to conquer the world.  

How does one tango between the borders of exclusion and loyalty?  

Right foot prejudice,  Left foot  tolerant, 

One turn stereotypical and one dip exceptional. 

A sightless jump into gravity, spinning with judgement into an exposed final stance

This choreography is designed by long standing  institutional gangs, misrepresentations in cultural advertising & the most hollow pits of individual fear.    

Becoming completely naked in  truth is the benchmark for venerability and springboard to self acceptance. Such a quality is despised by oppressive programming and power manuals .  Ours crimes, or triumphs are marked by free will but  they all  bleed into  the fabric of a communal cloth. 

Demolition Darling 

Smash up the place with Money, Pills, Booze, Sex & lies!

 Now That I Have Your Attention:

 I would most graciously, yet shamelessly like to  make you aware of the resurgence of my blog site macrocosmicscripts.blogspot.com for your browsing delight. May your intrigue for unpredictable slightly off balanced, pan cultural, commentary on human reflections- poetic infusion flourish. Set  along-side a back drop of original photography, drawings, and artwork by the author herself                     

(Say what? aha!) 

So as I stumble across this intricate social media terrain.. 

Be it kind or tough, the connection and expression are enough .. However,

 I am stocking my silo with harvested grain. Believe That!

The inevitable contradiction of any  woman or man  is as distinct as her or his molecular structure. Each one with precise cellular composition has an array of thoughts, and actions.  This infinite potential for variation  is mirrored in culture and society .No single political party, social organization, economic classification, religious sect or ethnicity is monolithic.  

If a single pebble tossed into a pond creates 

a series of ripples that spreads across the ocean, 

then a tear drop in the dessert must create an oasis. 

  

40 looks and sounds like determination. It tastes like patience and smells like forgiveness. An artist, placing creativity as the spirit's central  characteristic uses imagination to stretch, alter, innovate and comment on humanity's relationship with the planet and its inhabitants.  The irony is just when you get to the place where you  think you've got the answers, all of the questions change..

RED, BLACK, GREEN and PINK

RED: is the color Science envisions to be at the sun's core. It is also the same color that we all bleed. I read more than half of the required assignments but, I relished in the research and revisions. First was the Rejection, next the Redirection then I wrote the Macrocosmic Scripts. BLACK: is misrepresented by its colonial definition. Vocabulary that has instigated cultural misconceptions. While I challenged this non native language, I choose to cast off the battered baggage. I thought we taught children not to be afraid of the dark? For in night skies and lullabies do sweet dreams embark. GREEN: is the hustle for survival and even more innovation. Greed remains the prime element of socioeconomic stagnation. Grinding the marrow of our souls, Galloping Gluttons on patrol, Mutating our cells with digital sub control, Chewing on the gristle of the overexposed, Gawking at humiliation just for kicks, Guilty for being amused by these tricks, Ridiculous, Despicable, Extravagant -Excess, Sparkle beats sanity and the new luxury is justice. GREEN: is the color of the surgeon's scrubs as he uses his scalpel to remove half of what I once thought made me a woman. God. Oh Genius Creator your snap sparked exisistance- the infinite picture, Glow, Gleam, Glisten, Grow brighter within my molecular structure. Hope is the force that makes the skeptics twitch Faith is the movement that makes the cynics itch PINK: is an archetype. PINK: is a color coded assigned gender determination for girl infants. Pink is a hue with so many variations that every female on the planet at some point in their lives will have come in contact with it. Pink Frilly Dolls snacking on cotton candy, Fluffy frocks in pastel trends so dandy, Tough chicks wear pink as they cheer for Grease Lightning! Bubble Gum shaded badges for the survivors still fighting...

Overcast Skies, Somber Heavy Sighs as I offer this Goodbye.. To Mandela

Overcast Skies, Somber Heavy Sighs as I offer this Goodbye.. to Mandela The Morning of December 6th 2013 gravel colored skies showered tears to the ground as I stood solemnly. The headlines read Nelson Mandela is dead at the age of 95. Every Broadcast that I turned to memorialized his existence. Distracted through most of the morning’s workday, during my lunch break, I decided to get a phone card and called my Father who is now a retired diplomat residing in Sierra Leone, West Africa. I was concerned and wondered how the death of such a prominent political figure must be impacting him. Our conversation revealed how much my Father shared Mandela’s vision. How instrumental he was in calling him to political service. My Dad’s career in the foreign ministry with the government of Sierra Leone shared a common thread with Mandela’s campaign for justice and empowerment. I learned how my Father’s UN resolution drafts were considered radical because they supported divestment initiatives in South Africa. Nelson Mandela, a conduit  of inspiration for the ages. It would take a collaborative ground swell from international leaders and challenge us all to stand together around the globe to shift the tide of apartheid. All ignited by one man’s tireless crusade against disgraceful oppression. Attaching labels like: Saint, Martyr and Icon to Mandela’s life seem to stir up bias and often overlook the overarching truth that lives in such a dynamic spirit. Harnessing the power to change the world is like catching lightning in a bottle. It seems impossible until you have witnessed it. December 5th 2013 the day countless millions around the world heaved, sobbed, reflected or spoke about such an indomitable spirit. There were news reports that he had been in critical condition for weeks still, I wanted to collapse in front of that newsstand with devastation. All within that same moment it became apparent to me that mourning the end of his life would not bury his legacy. How will we honor Mandela’s unconditional devotion to humanity? How will we archive his progressive rebellion that redefined the South African political system and subsequently rocked the planet! I urge you to put up your fists up for freedom, for valor and for eternal peace for Mandela.

A Time Capsule a Drift, in the Pacific

We all know the hardest thing about going on a vacation is returning to a desk full of work. It’s back to school business, office assignments and programs a plenty! If I may quote Soul II Soul, “ back to the here and now!” still if you were to ask me about my summer, I’d answer incredibly inspiring and impactful. It was entirely awesome to witness a part of this Nation that I have only ever read about. I got to behold a landscape so pristine that was set against a backdrop of farm land much like my formative years in Hershey, PA (Salute to all the Milts from coast to coast) never the less the west coast had eluded me until this past July. California’s true wonder rests in its geographical composition. The state of California extends from breath taking cliffs that rise above crystalline nearly turquoise pools. The Pacific pushes and sweeps powerful waves against massive boulders. The coast of Northern California is prime subject material for a painter’s definitive piece. Envelop your senses in a shore line that boasts an endlessly vibrant pallet. Steady your sight on vegetation lush enough to command your attention. Get lost in glorious sunsets then be baptized by the invigorating mist that travels across the bay. There is a thriving Agrarian Society that has sustained much of the protected undeveloped land. Produce that travels a brief distance from the ground to your plate bursts with fresh flavor. Horticulture of so many varieties including what some states have deemed as a controlled substance becomes a marketable resource. Furthermore the population progresses as they conserve, develop, run farms, businesses and raise their families. This cooperative with residents and municipalities affords Sonoma and neighboring counties with the ability to maintain its organic Beauty. Stepping into a region that is both suspended in time and light years ahead of metropolitan trends will force you to plant your feet firmly in the present moment. My county of residence for nearly 2 decades has been an urban collage of sirens, pollution, traffic, and overcrowded housing conditions. The faces revealing the harsh realities of low income, meager access to assets, services and the looming fear of the unknown are all too familiar. I recognize these wrinkles of anxiety. I am familiar with these blemishes from tension baked in a pressure cooker because this has upon occasion been my own reflection. I have inhaled the stench of struggle; plugged into the poverty matrix yet I have refused to limit my perspective to these circumstances. I reject conventional expectations and will not limit my vision simply because I do not have the means. I am brazen enough to earn the whispers of others and wayward enough to steal a glimpse behind the curtain. The gift of imagination and a shield of faith help cultivate this bravery. Valor is not an exclusive badge worn by first respondents and military service men and women. Courage and understanding are the pre-requisites for challenging socially accepted ideals. Ultimately, the lingering dimple left on my spirit during this vacation is that there will be no more cowering in the shadows of other people’s insecurities. Self-assurance has more nobility than any pretentious title. Blazing the path for an extraordinary life journey requires a flammable substance and a few match sticks for ignition. What I want to leave embedded in the hearts and minds of those who have read the lines I’ve scripted for the greater part of my life is that we all have the capacity to embrace this human experience entirely without fear or isolation. It only takes a willingness to accept the pain with the passion, the trials along with the triumphs; the desire with the destruction. Why did I toss a time capsule into the Pacific? So that it could drift away into the infinite stream of love, light and peace for generations to come.
