Send us a text I took a long and winding journey up the Northeast roads on October 26, 2025, stopping at cafes, driving through small Americana towns, and for a small hike. We had a great chat with 74 year-old Paul and his dog about the trail, marriage, regrets, and how he would do life differently if possible. We greeted several others in this vast wooded area—walking in search of something or escaping something, who knows. We then came across this beautiful scene to serve as the backdrop for my thoughts on the occasion. Each orbit around our luminary anchor should come with reflection about who we've been, who we are now, and who we want to be later. Thank you to the dear friends who know that being IN community with others requires TIME and ENERGY. What are we doing for your birthdays?! Send a pigeon. -WV Extra honey in my tea But still not a cup for everyone  My love/life is a slow burn  The constant choosing of conscience  In a world meant for you to not hear yourself The offering itself is the gift Not everyone will stick around long enough to see it And that’s OK ‘Sometimes that’s what you need to see yourself Breakthrough & free yourself Accept your own & be yourself It’s magic’ -WV 

Send us a text We are all under the same Sun. From Praia to Lagos, so much remains the same. It’s always fascinated me how much, from Nigeria to Barbados to Jamaica to Angola to Guinea to Mozambique to Haiti to Senegal to Cape Verde, felt like a simulation. All these black men with the same disposition and mannerisms and bluetooths hanging out of their ear. I can’t describe to you how funny all these cultures collectively are to me. Separated but you can’t hide the roots. But are real conversations actually happening? Are these black men saying, “I’m going through it right now, I’m really struggling with ____”? Not so much that I’ve seen. We have to give people permission to be themselves sometimes. To say, “you can say how you actually feel and still be manly.” I guess that’s one of my missions here. Anyway, Tomi & I sat down to put it on the line & air some dirty laundry. “You can’t ruin a true connection by saying how you feel.” I believe that to my core. “The Brothers” (2001) served as the inspo for this one here, hope you enjoy.  -WV 

Send us a text “Finding Love After Love &… A Baby” What does modern dating really sound like?  Are we saying what we feel —or just thinking it?  Inspired by André 3000’s  “Where Are My Panties” skit,  this episode explores dating dynamics & more. “Where are all three good men?!”  I hear women say.  Are both genders looking in the  same place & for the same things?  If you passed your perfect match,  would either of you notice?  Can love find you again after love…and a baby? The Love Below: The Night Before. Pull up a chair. -WV
