The Cycle is the fifth album by Mourning [A] BLKstar. It’s the Cleveland-based collective’s masterwork -- a double LP spanning 20 songs and three singers, touching on neo-soul, hip-hop, and the cosmic expanse in between/beyond. It is a humble addition to the long legacy of James Baldwin’s adage of the artist as witness. It is their song cycle, written in a time that just may need a song or two in support of and in love and power to the living.

Respect peace and love.

Good Morning

Today I Journeyed

Today I did a couple of technology stores, one in Medway and the other at Bluewater. Both visits went well but I had little time to check any charity shops.

The weather was quite a lot cooler, thank goodness and that helped to make the day go better without a hitch.

So tomorrow I am on the trains checking the quality of the service. I will be starting in Ashford and doing six journeys throughout the day.
