In the beginning of 2014, I was planning on going to a silent retreat in Maine during June 20-23 but I didn't attend the retreat, I have no regrets. I went to Kingston, Jamaica from June 17-26 for my father, Augustus Pablo's tribute which was a week of events, and a tribute show in memory of my legendary father's dub and reggae career. I had some uncomforable memories of my grandmother's death, so I felt like who would I come back for in Kingston, Jamaica. Addis was busy touring, and my uncle didn't talk to me, so I felt a bit distant emotionally, and physically living in New York City. But when I landed in Kingston, Jamaica all those feelings escaped me and it was so much good energy to be with my brother, and his friends and my father's older friends, and musical peers. My heart was set on the silent retreat but I realized I wanted to do that for me only and not for anyone else. So, my trip to Jamaica changed everything for me by being able to be apart of the celebrations in memory of my father. I videotaped, and photographed every minute of the trip, and that there was my spiritual retreat.

The study of the Rasta: RASTAS truly have the best style
Rastafarian's style has greatly influenced pop culture, fashion, music, art, and society this is evident in fashion, when Gwen Stefani/Andrea Lieberman created her brand LAMB definitely kidnapped the signature red/gold/green from the Rastas, the Rasfarian culture. They created a movement that has influenced a mass amount of people. Its pretty cool..I live in New York, so I see Rastas sprinkled amongst the city but when I use to visited my father as a kid in Jamaica, I was immense in the culture, and lifestyle.
Their style is very humbling, but truly effortless. I have actually considered getting locks myself but then again I will stick to my famous bun on my head. I digress.So Rastafarian culture/style is very international as Angelina Jolie--check out Japan for explanation, there are tons of Japanese Rastas. Actually, my father and mother were Rastas in the 80's - 90's, so I have been exposed this goodness of style, and culture; so I feel a very close connection.
