Why it was written: Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. A very long and difficult journey was completed. A second chance to build was issued and the shamans are together again.

This song was like seeing an intriguing person cross the street two blocks away. I had glimpses of this song yet never could figure it out and get a chance to know it yet oh what a feeling. When I moved my office and location to North Oakland with friends and family the song came all at once like a flood.

What a joy, what a blessings. The lyrics are amazing and I have been singing this song all day and night. What an honor and privilege to sing and play Here Right Now. It is time for us to clearly see we must live as one. After the atom bomb was dropped in 1943 in Japan Eleanor Roosevelt said that time has truly changed and the end of all wars is needed. Either we end the wars or we will end ourselves.

In meditating on the creation of the United Nations the day of his death. Franklin Delano Roosevelt wrote. “The work now my friends is Peace – an end to the beginnings of all wars. For those committed to The making of an abiding peace I say the only limit to our realization of tomorrow is our doubts of today. Let us move forward with a strong and active faith.”

Tap into the source of all things and let Joy, Love and Freedom Reign

Mama Sula – Original Song By Far I – Description & Lyrics

Mama Sula

This song is about my fathers mother.  Her name was Ursula Shields born Ursula Adams. What a lady.  I remember her charm and style. Mama Sula was ruff yet she so had class.

From the south my father was a part of the Great Migration as African Americans escaped the rigors of racism and pains of sharecropping and moved west.  Above my Grandmother is pictured with her daughter who shared her name Ursula on a visit to her home town of Yazoo City Mississippi where she was born Ursula Adams.

The move to the west suited Mama Sula just fine.  Fine cars, beautiful homes and the good life.  She lived it up.  Mama Sula iondulged in all that was good about the big city life of Los Angeles, California. Before they information was present about the dangers of drinking and smoking Mama Sula was all in. She became an avid smoker and died of lung cancer in her early 50’s.  I remember before she died she had her lung removed. She had it placed in a jar next to her hospital bed for the whole family to see.  From that moment I vowed never to smoke cigarettes.

My grandmother was mean.  Se was so mean that I had a complex.  Other grandmothers that I saw seemed so nice and loving. Mine grandmother was a knock down drag out serious southern woman from Arkansas who you better be on your p’s and q’s or you were going to get a sharp reprimand with a quickness.  Grandmamma didn’t take no mess.

I also mention her brother Joseph Thomas Adams in the song Mama Sula.  He was very loving, wise and lived to the age of 84.  Much like his sister he battle alcoholism yet he always managed to be loving even when drinking heavily.   Uncle Joseph overcame his drinking habit and became an outstanding member of AA.  He touched many live with his love and encouragement.  Some of his favorite saying were.  “You reach a point where you get sick and tired of being sick and tired”  & “this to shall pass”

Above Uncle Joseph is pictured with is incredibly lovely wife Aunt Leora.  Together they nurtured me through many difficult times.

I longed for a sweet reassuring grandmother yet it just was not in the cards I was dealt.  I wanted a grandmother to say come here baby – you know grandma loves you.  As I entered my 30’s I began to realize that my grandmother loved her family through her cooking.  She was one of the best cooks I ever encountered.  It was like she had some magic in the kitchen and would sprinkle it in the pots.  Gumbo, salmon crockets, mashed potatoes, greens – all the great food the south has to offer.  Then she would follow it up with Sweet Potato Pie and Peach Cobbler.  The crust she made was worth walkin for miles and miles to taste.  Mama Sula past in 1978 and I still can taste her cookin.

The song Mama Sula is a way of me saying to my Grandmother – ok, I get it.  You did love us.  You loved us through your cookin and I still feel the love.

Mama Sula Lyrics

Hey Mama,  Mama Sula
Hey Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama

Well Life is full of Love if we just see it right
Sunshine on your face and the groove is tight
Plenty of Love so why don’t ya come on in

Well now every time I see yall I don’t want to go
Oh Mama Sula I love you so
