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 ...

Dive in

I dove into life/
And the ripples effected/
All eternity/

Ever feel like the little kid sitting on the side of the pool to scared to jump into the water because its to cool. Not realizing that once you get in your body would adjust and begin to feel good. I have found that life is the same way. For years i was that kid, and in some ways I still am, but unlike a lot of people every now and then I jump my ass in the water.
One of the blessings I have always had in life were those type of mentors that believe in pushing you in the pool (life). They did not mind pushing me in because they knew they had the ability to jump in and save me if I began to drown. They also knew that I had the skill to swim, i just needed that rude nudge to get me in the water.
Today i would like to personally thank all those that pushed and then taught me to dive into life. those brave masters that demonstrated and then forced me to learn the fact that "with nothing ventured nothing gained", with out there push i would be sitting on the side of the pool (life) to scared to try the water. so I want to send shouts out to my elders that forced me to share what I know, and do the right thing. I want to thank my peers that achieved and dared me to do the same,and most importantly thank those students that force me to live and become what I speak. I have been molded and shaped in the crucible of your love and sometimes anger. I can truly say because of you the ripples of my dives will touch eternity. now I hope and pray I have done the same for some of you out there.
Peace and 1hunidyears

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...
