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

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.

Dream crushers, thank you/
thank you for letting me know/
I am on right path/


When the haters gather around you, feel assured that you are on the right path. When the vultures gather around to talk about you,  know that you are doing what you are supposed to do. those that are not on the Journey can never comprehend the path you walk. So they can only criticize , and judge you. Understand that the path that you are walking was designed for you. You pulled it from your dreams and was born to walk it. Your path can't be seen or understood by those that are following the herd.
If you spend your time waiting for external validation for you being different, you will die unfufilled. You will fall to the wayside of life incomplete and broken. In order to get the most from your journey you have to be willing to face the dream crushers. They come in all shapes and sizes, some come directly and others are very suttle. You have to be able to face them and thank them as you move past and beyond them. If you allow them to crush your dream you will also be crushed in the process. You should use them as a sign post that reads "THIS IS THE PATH OF THE WARRIOR: THOSE WEAK OF HEART & MIND TURN BACK NOW".  Thank them and continue walking, because it is impossible for them to see what you see.
