Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
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 ...

"Joy" Ha2ku by ha2tim

Let Me Fill to the Full of My Heart With ...No...Image by -RejiK via Flickr
Joy belongs to you/
Unless you give it away/
It can't be taken/
Joy... just the sound of the word can bring a smile on peoples face. Joy is the ultimate goal of many, but to bad most people  look in the wrong place. We seek it in our relationships, we seek it in our jobs, we seek it in our churches, we seek it in the mosque, we seek it in the possessions we own, or even in the possession we pursue. But joy seems to allude us, or doesnt stay around to long. That new relationship doesnt spark you the way it use to, or that job is not as exciting as it was when you started. Joy has flown away, and we put on chase trying to find her and seduce her back into our lives.
This is the mistake.... We have been programed to seek this gift from the Creator outside of ourselves. When in fact, we were born with  Joy. Joy is a birthright and we have allowed it to be snatched out of us and dangled in our face. Maybe from all the programing that goes on "nowadays" we didnt know any better, but after this blog there will be no excuse. Joy lives in side of you and will never leave you. You just need to remember how to bring her out. Dont be scared; reach into your all knowing, all powerful spirit and breathe life back into her. Joy is a choice  everyday, in every event, and in every second we can decide to be joyful. Let other people look at you and "hate"; feel your joy and allow it to spread out of you like a virus effecting everyone around. Joy is contagious.
You know it strikes me as funny that some of us live like we are saving our joy for a special occassion, like it is in limited supply. Joy is limitless because it flows from Love. Starting with the Love for self. So take some time and Love yourself enough to be joyful. Dont wait you can be joyful now. You will be surprised what types of miracles will flow into your life with joy:
Health issues; i prescribe a gallon of joy.
Money issues; take 2 tablespoons of joy and call me in the morning.
Relationship issues; 3 pints of joy and a walk in nature
Job issues: 4 scoops of joy on your desk as you plot your escape
There is no ailment that Joy can not help you through, so take some time and get plugged in believe me it is worth it. The best part is no one can take it from you. I have found that joy also works as a repelent for negative people and events. Joy makes negative folks sick. So my last prescriptions is our secret. Make sure every morning you wear Joy as cologne or perfume, to protect you from the Negative folk and situations, it only takes a little.

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...
