venuslovejones I LOVE "Could Love" this poem is EPIC set to strings. I first heard it a capella when Michael was performing it on stage in Oakland and you could hear a pin drop. This ode to love describes how we fall short and truly what love is. "You harbor a heart -- a house for love....a home for God!" May we all become LOVE. Could we do that? Say yes, and so it is. Favorite track: Could Love.

Dieudonné Brou The lonely road…touched me differently. I have been dealing with some depression the last two years and Michael’s words reminded me of the journey I have been on to self mastery. You can be feel alone at times, but know that you are never truly alone in this life. When you look up you will notice everyone is in pursuit of their very own journey of self mastery. It will look different for everyone, but the destination is still up ahead we’re everyone will meet. Favorite track: Lonely Road.
