Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...
We had a wonderful journey. We were able to build some new relationships that will help us build a legacy. The tribe grew this weekend, we were able to overcome some of the minor issues, and create a village from scratch. It is amazing that we did this with absolutely no money. I could only imagine how much more beautiful it would have been with a little money behind us.
Friday we pulled up and built the village in the wrong place, and moved it and had it complete before night time. had pleasent meal and started are story time around the fire. i discovered why our people use to gather around the fire, because the effect of the fire on a story are incredible. This weekend for the first time we were able to actually tell the story of our Mythic hero around the fire and it was a beautiful experience.
We will be having another village journey this fall. Getting us ready for a long winter. dont be shy come on out and experience this with us.Come learn about Gye-Nyame tribe. If you cant come feel free to suppport.
