Comfortable in my Natural State: Lauryn Hill came to Boston

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

I saw Lauryn Hill last night. Yes. She came to Boston. I'm still not over it. I still think it's a dream but these pictures that I'm about to post confirms that I did indeed see Ms. Hill last night . I was practically leaning on the stage. Could have kissed her feet actually. Our eyes met several times and I almost melted.

She.
is.
Phenomenal.

She came on stage with so much energy. And her voice. GASP. I was in tears. I feel blessed to have seen her in person. The pictures I took came out a bit blurry but I think I still captured her essence...

Best way to end the year...

Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers [and sisters]

Then use your kindness as their ammunition
to shoot you down in the name of ambition"~Lauryn Hill

Be an outcast.
Take the contradictions
Of your life
