  Are you cooking a goat in a lion’s pot? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-lion-s-pot-scraping-off-perfection--72019066 We’ve all been there. You have a grand vision—a "Lion" of a purpose—but you try to simmer it alongside your "Goat" fears of what people might think or the terror of getting it wrong. The result? A life that tastes like "just enough" instead of "greatness." Today we are talking about Nia through the eyes of Kuumba . We are tearing down the altar of perfectionism. What if failure wasn't a wall, but a staircase? What if you were allowed to be "bad" at something until you became a master? The Ancestral Algorithm is clear: Delete 'Fear of Failure' and install 'Infinite Iteration'. We’re looking at the Trials of Gye to see how falling down is actually the first step to flying. Call to Inaction “The heavy load only falls when you open your hands.” Stop over-polishing. What project are you refusing ...

Follow the cycles/
grow in tune with Universe/
align with power/


A couple of weeks ago I was listening to late night radio and they were conversing about the cycles of America. I was suddenly hit with an idea about charting the cycles of African people in America. This opened up a flood gate of ideas. I will share the beginning of the process and as I get my notes (I gave my notes to somebody at "Poetic Moments" poetry Night)back will put down  more info. I first had to find out how long a generation was. After a little research  I came up with 20 years. From hear I started charting in 20 year cycles the ebb and flow of my people.  The symbol I chose to use was the seasons. I chose the seasons because these are visible cycles of change that everyone can understand and it is simple. We know instinctively that there are certain things that is supposed to be done during certain seasons. For example we know that if I was going to grow some vegetables that I would not pick the winter to do it. that would be unwise. Now we can take the symbols of seasons and brake them down into thoughts and actions that should be done at certain times. Each Generation is a season and each season last 20 years. I grouped four seasons together to make what I call a generational Year which consist of 80 years. I then found a African -American timeline and started plugging in my info. Next we will discuss the symbolic meaning of the seasons and I will lay down the time line and then discuss the major things that stood out to me.

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
