The cover I photographed for Bishop Michael Curry’s new book is out! You may remember him from Megan & Harry’s wedding a few years back when he gave the wonderfully powerful sermon about love that made all the royals sit up straight, in a good way. At the shoot he was just as good natured, friendly and fun to be with as you might expect. I really enjoyed the day we spent with him and am sure the book will do well. He has the right message for our times. Big thank you to @jessmorphew_books for bringing me onboard and for the stellar design.

This Saturday I was in awe. I loved every moment of the Royal Wedding, was amazed by the Kingdom’s Choir beautiful rendition of “Stand By Me” and Sheku and his cello hit an emotional note with the “Ave Maria”. . Perhaps this marriage is exactly what the British Royal family and the UK need. A breach of tradition, though, despite popular opinion, not the first. . Michael Curry seemed to believe it as he preached about history and slavery and complicity, but also about optimism and fire and above all, love. . Love which transcends race. Mayhe Meghan will truly become a transformative figure within the British institution, perhaps we’ve all forgotten about her in a couple of years. . Either way, I enjoyed the wedding. Every woman deserves a man who looks at her the way Harry looks at Meghan. They are “goals”. . And I for certain cannot wait for those freckled, biracial babies. . #harryandmeghan #royalwedding2018 #quotesaboutlove #michaelcurry #bishopcurry

“Love God, love your neighbor, and while you’re at it, love yourself”... #BishopCurry speaking to them, I imagine, was like the monkey in the pulpit spoke of a planet ruled by apes that let emotions like love lead them as they speak and sing passionately about the use and abuse created by These rulers and a need to have solidarity that takes #TakeAknee to #standbyme. Could they have souls with the capability of love warming them? Their reputation is cold and unfeeling. Is the icy foundation for western civilization melting or at risk of crumbling by Royals being lowered from God status and their newest family member being lifted from Ape status...and all being seen as human? Did I hear Beyonce’ “Don’t hurt yourself” being cut With the Kingdom Choir on the remix? I swear I kept hearing war cries from spirits that don’t Rest In Peace. #MLK encoded in Anti-Caucasity. Are we witnessing a #RoyalBlackOut? How far will it go? I don’t know....but, Love got Harry. And Harry is a rebel. He didn’t want to be a Royal. Watch that throne...he went black.

“If humanity ever captured the energy of love, it would be the second time in history we discovered fire.” - Bishop Michael Curry at the wedding Royal Wedfing of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle . . . Okay, everyone is talking about it, so I might as well join in right? Well when I heard this quote, I had to. Love is the most powerful force on the planet! I debated saying that, but I would figure everything boils down to that. What we would do for that fire that burns inside of us. Whether it is a love for another, ourselves, or even a thing, it is seriously a powerful force that if captured, changes the course of ones life forever. And once discovered, you can’t live without it. Once lost, your cold without it. You’re in the dark without it. You go hungry without it. It’s the life force you never knew you were missing until the day you discovered it, then you couldn’t live without it. #loveisfire #flamesoflove #fireinside #jsydswritings #royalwedding #favequotes #princeharry #meghanmarkle #michaelcurry #bishopcurry
