The Trap of the "Self-Made" Myth

  The Trap of the "Self-Made" Myth https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-umoja-breaking-the-illusion-of-isolation--70376622 We’ve all heard it: “I got it out the mud all by myself.” It sounds good on a track or in a motivational speech, but is it the truth? For too long, our community has been sold a lie that glorifies extreme individualism. We are conditioned to grind alone and suffer in silence, believing that asking for help is a sign of weakness. But this mindset is exactly what feeds the heavy, quiet burdens of blame, shame, and guilt. When you isolate yourself, your struggles feel insurmountable. The reality is, our ancestors never survived by acting as islands. Their superpower was the collective. The deep, intentional work of true unity requires us to look in the mirror and then look at our community. What happens when we stop competing with our brothers and sisters and start combining our strength? The answer just might change how you approach your entire lif...

"Miracle happen" Ha2ku by ha2tim

HeartImage via Wikipedia
Miracles happen/
Every moment of the day/
Just open your heart/

Well this is my one hundreth post. This is a miracle for me. Although I can speak for hours it is hard for me to sit down and put my words to paper. Maybe that is why I like haiku because it is just 17 short syllables and I am done. Today I will be writng about Miracles, and how they are everywhere but we just need to develop the eyes to see them and more importantly develop the heart to feel them. We have been born in a time when technology has developed to the point where it can inhabit our whole life. We can literal spend 24 hours, involved with some of the gadgets that are availible to us.
Miracles are all around us happening every moment of the day, but if we are not really tuned in then we miss them and begin to take life for granted. We have put a mystical twist on miracles and we have such high expectations that we miss the miracles that happen in our lives. For some reason if it is smaller than the red sea parting we pay very little attention to them. I am here to pull your cut tails to the fact that miracles are real, and that we may be blocking them from our lives by looking for some grandious occurance. Embrace the miracle of your life. Embrace the miracles that are your birth right. Embrace the miracles that surround you from the flowers that you walk by, or the rain that falls from the sky. Be thankful to that Energy (Axe')that has been providing you with these miracles.
Maybe you are to deep in personal pain to see them. Maybe you are to busy trying to survive to see them. Never the less they are there and waiting for you to recognize them. Realize that once you start recognizing the small miracles (if miracles have a size)it will be easier for you to recognize the large ones in your life. So take some time from your pain and thank that person that made you laugh, or take some time out of your busy schedule to smell those flowers you walk by. Open up your heart and expect the miracles and you will at first begin to see them then you become part of the cycle. The miracles will begin to manifest for you and through you.

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...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
