Dive into the depths- Ha2ku by ha2tim

Going to the depths/
looking for the mystery/
revealed in challenge/

In the midst of life we can feel as if we are sinking, and that is why I chose to talk about going to the depths. The depths can be a scary place, because it is full of mystery. Mystery as I have mentioned before in some of my earlier blogs is a place that we can recieve a lot of power, because we are forced to face our fears. The power of facing our fears forces us to push past our self imposed limits. When faced with fear in our depths whether it is the depths of depression, pain, lost, and etc allows us to recreate ourselves through the harshness that is thrust upon us if we take the challenge and stand up and push into them. To survive we must in a sense surrender to the mystery and allow ourselves to experience the rush of feelings that come at these times. These feelings, as uncomfortable as they are, forces us to make the changes and moves that we need to make a better life. All of the ancient warriors (Heroes) experienced the same thing, and if we are wise enough we can learn from their stories about how to appropriately deal with these challenges.

Everyday, at this point of my life I am thrust into the depths of a world that is beginning to make less and less sense to me. I feel as if I do not belong, and I am forced to take the bitter remedy that I am writting out for you. By jumping in and sinking to the depths, the mystery of life reveals something new and powerful for me. Whether it is wisdom from one of the young people I work with, a word of encouragment from comrade, a joke from a coworker, a Ha2ku (haiku) from my experience,a story to share, a helping hand from a friend, and I could go on. If I did not immerse myself in the depths of the Mystery of life I would miss the beauty that surrounds me. I probably would become depressed, and give up, but I know each day, in the mystery of the depths of life, a new adventure awaits me and you. Only if we are willing to embrace it, and stop lamenting about the past, or fearing the future. In our tribe the major thing that we attempt to help each member overcome is their fear. This monster has devoured many kingdoms in it's many forms, and it is attempting to eat up our lives as well. But when we face this fear we see that in it lies a treasure that is just for us. When we take the challenge to live: by diving into life, swimming to the depths, and entering the Mystery.

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...
