On a hot summer day in Alabama...which is nothing unusual weatherwise. I was sitting on the Fairhope Pier with my friend Georgette. A lesson of opposites, our friendship is... Jette (her nickname) had a some kind of crabbing apparatus in her hand and and I held on to a pen and paper. She crabbing and me...writing..... It was there I wrote the first line for Sitting Stone...Friends.......... from different backgrounds glued to the bonds of friendship by love and the fascination of one another's life's interest.
I wrote Sitting Stone to celebrate the matriarchial influence in our lives. Mothers, sisters, aunts... but especially GRANDMOTHERS............ your wisdom, undying love, understanding, sacrifice and especially..........YOUR PRAYERS............

THE SITTING STONE - THE COUNTDOWN
Sep 26, 2010
That stone......has been like an altar for me for the seven years my son been dead. He was working on carving Belma’s name in it as an anniversary present for her. He finished the first three letters of her name, BEL and then he has his accident. Belma didn’t want to keep it, she had sent the salvage here to throw it away.I wouldn’t let em put it in the trash. I had em bring it from the work shed and place it right there. Not one day has passed that I don’t come out here and sit on that stone and pray. Feels like to me, as long as that stone is on that porch, a little bit of Sam is here. Seems like the presence of God meets me strong while I sit there and pray..... Mama Jube
