I think about the times when there's been an absurd idea or an absurd statement, when I said to my son who I abandoned when he was about three or four- and I have a lot of guilt and shame still about that, I'm still working through that. You know, I didn't know that it would mean that much to either one of us the first time we talked. And he said: you know what one day you're going to understand, brother, One Day you're going to understand.
Ever thought a chance encounter could change a life? In this heartfelt episode of 'Black Fluid Poet', John S. Blake shares a story that shows just how powerful those unexpected moments can be. Starting with a surprising invitation to start a podcast, Blake takes us on a journey through their personal struggles, including addiction and homelessness, and how they found healing through poetry and community.
The episode's highlight is an inspiring tale involving Malcolm Jamal Warner, Saul Williams, and $200 that brought hope to a little girl. Blake recounts meeting Malcolm Jamal Warner at the New York Rican Poets Cafe and almost missing a performance with Saul Williams in Fresno, California. A twist of fate made sure they didn't miss out, proving that sometimes, the universe has its own plans. This episode beautifully underscores the importance of community support and the arts in personal transformation.
It's a touching reminder that even in our darkest moments, there are sparks of beauty and kindness waiting to be discovered. Tune in to hear Blake's inspiring story and feel the warmth of human connection.
