There exists a state of being where the chasm between the self and the observed event vanishes, where two souls merge into one, equal. Have you ever wept at the sound of a voice, when a young man steps onto the stage to receive his diploma? Ever lost control of your emotions as you watch a father catch the home run ball hit by his son on his birthday? Telepathy is there. Intuition. Speaking without words. You know this moment is sacred. It’s a place in our minds where the ordinary becomes enchanted, and the mundane ascends to the sublime.

In Book I of “Vibe is Meta 4 Series, Keisha of the Future,” I weave Keisha’s future like a tapestry, a thread spun from technology and desire, ecstasy, and fear, all intertwining like the cosmic web. Keisha and Derek share an experience that transcends consciousness, and together they create the ability to levitate. Imagine meeting someone for the first time, eyes locking, connecting like finding what was once lost. Is this love at first sight or a moment that is both earthly and ethereal?
The tale of Keisha and Derek unfolds within an atmosphere of perpetual Black joy—the overwhelming connection to the drums, dance, and music that draws them into each other’s arms. A new reality is revealed where levitation is a whispered secret, existing in waves, in moments of unknowning. When you “Tune-in” to the frequency of Black joy, a new consciousness is born. Black joy is a cosmic force that knows no bounds, defying the confines of the physical world.
Is Black joy beyond love?
Keisha and Derek levitate and make love in the air. This is more than a metaphor for the transformative power of love, a force that can lift us from the ground and into realms of the beautiful. In the cosmos, we find binary star systems orbiting each other for the first and last time. They are bound by what we call gravity; I call it Black joy. Caught in each other’s light, their paths entwined by forces beyond their control.
Neutron stars know nothing of the concept of “Beyond Love,” but when one collapses, remnants of a supernova explosion, their matter compresses to such an extent that a teaspoon of it would weigh billions of tons on Earth. That’s some heavy shit, if you think about how they are minding their own business when suddenly the extreme conditions of physics as we know them are bent and twisted by the intensity of gravitational fields and magnetic forces, transforming and transcending their existence.
This is the cosmic force of Black joy—a force that defies gravity, that lifts us beyond the confines of the known and into the realms of the infinite and the divine. It is a testament to the power of transformation, a journey into the unknown, a leap of faith into the arms of the universe, where the laws of physics and the rules of the heart intertwine in a symphony of the sublime.

The end of Keisha of the Future is not the end of Keisha and Derek. They come back strong in Black Honey, the fourth book in the Vibe is Meta 4 series. They are reluctant passengers on a thrill ride of spy shit, Black Counterinsurgency, encoded messages in DNA, Georgia militia, and the larger than life President Twoine.
