Strangely Fruitful by Edwin Lester

Strangely Fruitful
Edwin Lester

I heard through a certain vine, that there were some not so kind.  Stories tell of how they hung many out to dry.  Generations struggled yet still we got by.  Swinging in that heat, over time our fruit became sweet.

Became Wise.

To their suprise, our now aged raisins improvised.  Strange to them, we capitalized on the given time and reseeded to reproduce and become a sweeter, wiser, race of abundant, delicious fruit.

This is Edwin Lester’s latest creation entitled “Strangely Fruitful”. If you look closely you will see the faces of some of our recent ancestors on the grapes. Icons such as Redd Foxx, Nina Simone, Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Shirley Chisolm, Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass and more!

All channeling their spiritual energy and qualities that made them great into the next generation of greatness.
