Sister River,

If a strong nation is dependant on the women, then you are the foundation to cultivate such a nation. Your Wisdom, Wit, dedication, compassion, and Strength are the ingredients to mode an invincible people.

I always venture into your post to read whats on your heart and mind. You intrigue me Sister. You have so much depth, so much understanding when it comes to the pain that inflicts us. Yet you are a force to be reckoned with.

You will not tolerate any mis-education to your people. You will not allow one to bluntly lie with out questioning. You will not leave no rock uncovered when seeking truth. Yes Sister, I know you. You are a Warrior with a mind like a sword. A very sharp sword at that. You will cut at a virus until it's reduced to a mere strand. You will then give it an opportunity to confess it's deceit and wicked deeds before permanently wiping it out. But still, you are humble in all your attributes.

Sometimes Sister, I read you and is left in complete Awe! And I know that you mean what say, and say what you mean. You are just brilliantly wonderful. A joy and pleasure to behold such wonders.

SISTER THIS IS YOUR SPOTLIGHT! And my opportunity to share with the family the beauty of you. I could walk in your shadow and never feel one bit of cold. Because even your shadow holds the power of you!

I love you Sister River!:heart:

:spinstar: :) RIVER :) :spinstar:


Agreeing with all that Purplemoons has said. Using river's screen name as a metaphor, I think of river as being a powerful force of nature. Her presence can be a steady stream of strength, when there is something she is passionate about. You will get caught in her current, and if she does not sway you in your opinions, you will have a lasting impression of that experience. :thinking: But, along with that, the river can be calm and peaceful, a mind you want to dip into, allowing all that knowledge and wisdom to seep into your pores. :teach: Also, I've found that river has this sense of humor, that creeps up on you, and tickles your funny bone. And of course there is her wonderful poetry. Check this one out, everyone, it's entitled, Why Do They Hate Me? Poem for a Nigerian Sistah, http://destee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24349 .
So, here's to you, river. So happy to be able to call you, Sister!!! :welldone:

STILL WATERS RUN DEEP
There's something about the River, that always calms my soul,
it leaves a feeling inside me, that nothing can behold.
:spinstar:
I sometimes sit by the River... for hours at a time,
it somehow seems to trance, and restore my worried mind.
:spinstar:
The ripples and waves are such a beautiful thing,
the feeling of "Peace" to my heart it bring.
:spinstar:
So allow me to say this, and there's no doubt,
da River is something... I won't be without!
:spinstar:
You have the patience of job, the heart of gold,
you're welded in a deep part of my soul.
:spinstar: :spinstar: :spinstar:
:spinstar: :spinstar:
:spinstar:
I said all that, ...to tell you this,
I have nothing:nono: but love for you sis.

""Woman !! You know you gone get me in trouble if I say what's on my mind!!! So let me detach myself so I can be me for a minute. I want you to know that I disagree with your ex about "you being dangerous if you could see". I think you're dangerous now and steadily unfolding. I also know that any man with eyes and half a mind and heart would SEE YOU!!!!....AND LOVE YOU FOR THE QUEEN YOU ARE !!

Since you've been on this site you have been a work in progress....just the kind of work that would scare the average man. You know there's nothing more intimidating than a woman with intelligence and drive. Like your name you flow with a calmness that hides the strong under-current within you. You're a very intense woman and a determined one. I do not foresee anything holding you back from what you want, what you need and what your life will be about.

I :bowdown: in honor of your essence and congratulate you in all ways !!!

Sister River: the sister with unmatched wisdom; a heart of gold; and a sense of tenderness and peace that'll calm a colicky baby in a haunted house. LOL:spinstar:

Sister River.....what can i say...
from the very first day
when i passed your way
you invited me to stay
your Spirit was so gay

Sister River...what can i say...
cept i have nothing but dismay
bout not being with you every Saturday

Your Loving Spirit is infectious
The joy you bring simply warms US
The energy of you seems to be so so True
cause who ever knew
that in a state like texas
would be the hidden treasure of YOU!


Okay..so i'm not a true poet
and I know it
yet...wanted to stop by
and give the RE~spect which is due
to the one and only YOU!
one whose Spirit is Truely True Blue

So...Keep the Vibes flowing....thru
:kiss1:

Beloved King god Mighty Keita, I bow to the truth and reality in you.

Goddess Isis

her flow comes from the ocean of we all know
fed by all the Gods of uni-versal row
her heart is pure and her mind is clear
we are all uplifted whenever she's near
