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.

Paradox-Ha2ku

Paradox is life/
In this mystery we live/
Constantly between/

We live in between extremes. For life to exist it has to dance in between the opposites. We dont know why but that is the way it is, but we can even learn something from this. We can learn about the power of mystery. If life flows from mystery, it has to be powerful. What is mystery: something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained. In seeking to understand this mystery we learn about the power of this creation. This Universe is full of opposites that we all live with but because we have become use to them we over look them. these opposites not only create our  lives but make them livable. Take time to be amazed by this paradox today, and allow your mind to move and explore the paradox that we live in. Here is some opposites to explore and meditate on if you have some time:
Male & Female
Day & Night
Up & Down
Good & Bad
Right & Left
Etc.

Notice that these opposites need each other to exist. For one to eliminate the other they both would cease to exist. What does this fact so to you, and about your life? Take some time and think about the power of this paradox that we exist in. Embrace the mystery through your contemplation and allow its power to move in your life.
