I feel that if I post those things that I'm inspired by and drawn to then others will come to the blog and also be inspired.<br /><br />I am a member of Kalamu's e-drum. Where would we be without brother Kalamu? He's a powerful spirit and nurturer of us artists.<br /><br />I'm well into Wrapped in Rainbows now. Your book is giving me great ideas left and right. <br />Peace and blessings,<br />aliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-51527947307647799452007-01-11T12:33:00.000-05:002007-01-11T12:33:00.000-05:00Hi Alicia,

Thanks for commenting. Yes, Their Eyes Were ...Sara,<br />Thanks for commenting. Yes, Their Eyes Were Watching God is a masterpiece. Zora Neale Hurston didn't have to write another thing after she wrote this book because it was as close to perfect as most books that I've read. The book just sings to you as you read it.<br />AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-38199072108738698682007-01-09T13:35:00.000-05:002007-01-09T13:35:00.000-05:00Jayherron,

I'm hoping to go to the Zora Neale Hurston Festival in Florida one of these days. Her gifts and magic are still with us. What a powerful force.<br /><br />AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-76837912689307854602007-01-08T20:27:00.000-05:002007-01-08T20:27:00.000-05:00When I first saw Eatonville Florida is was in 1970...When I first saw Eatonville Florida is was in 1970 and almost still like it may have been when Miss Hurston last saw it. Its not so much like that now. I remember in my earlier years of trucking the area around Eatonville was still farmland-now all of the consumption of near by Orlando has taken the farms and put huge houses there that dwell so many people who sadly have no idea of the world Miss Hurston lived in and wrote about. I recall great nights I have had in a juke near there-not too real far,down the road-46-in Geneva...but our trucks would be back in Eatonville. There's this great aura in the spirit of the southern black people-I always loved being along on these different adventures,always able to visualize Zora N Hurstons characters when I am with the friends I've made through these years. <br />Nice blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
