The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
Zeeeeee Phi...Soooo Sweet. Much blue luv to my sorors and frats.
Music
Too many to name. From Billie to Miles to Funkadelics to Sun Ra to Gil Scott-Heron to Mike Philly to Little Brother...as well as folks like Oscar Brown, Jr and Sekou Sundiata whose vibes are "poetic music" to my ears.
RAPPERS WITH GRATUITOUS NEGATIVE LYRICS? PLEEEEASE BYPASS!!! I'M AN OLE HIP HOP JUNKIE WHO LIKES REAL HIP HOP NOT "HIP SLOP," OKAAAAAY?!
That said...listen to SOUL SCHOOL CAFE and you'll catch a clue who and what I like.
Movies
My top 5? The Matrix, Malcolm X, The Ten Commandments(minus the obvious complexion inaccuracies), The Color Purple and Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
And even though it's not a movie per se, I also love "The Secret."
Television
The Boondocks, Sci-Fi, Comedy Central, PBS, and VH1.
Books
The greatest weapon of mass destruction lies within one's own mind (Did you hear that Mr. Bush?!). Read, learn, experience...and know.
