Common: The Light (2000)
This mornin’, I’d gotten off to a shaky start. After musterin’ the courage to ask my tutor for a modified session (and after she was gracious enough to humor my request), I started with some Eddy Kenzo, which led to this favorite (which really got me goin’), then rolled into this old favorite by Common.
I’m not the biggest Common fan. I don’t hate him. In fact, I like him; he’s just not my favorite — although he is GREEEAT to see live, and one of his albums is one of my all-time favorites.
Guess which one it is.
Anyway, I needed this this mornin’, especially in a world that seems, now, to feed on and fuel discord between Black women and men. It’s a nice reminder that folks are out here lookin’ to have, be, and witness “the light” between us.
