The Convergence of Five Hands: Flowing Past the Hero Trap into Collective Sovereignty The raiders struck under the dark of the moon, vanishing into the volcanic hills with the entire wealth of the clan. The village youth ran in ten different directions, tiring themselves against the stones, achieving nothing. Five brothers stepped forward—one could hear a reed bend leagues away, one could read the scratch of an ant on bare basalt, one had arms of ironwood, one smelled smoke on the wind, and one held the medicine of mist. Yet, left alone, each brother was entirely helpless against the canyon pass. How many of us in modern life are running ourselves into an early grave trying to be all five brothers at once? We take pride in saying, "I don’t need anybody, " while our physical bodies, our families, and our institutions bleed out in silence.

If we allow ourselves to be stagnate and stuck we not only kill ourselves we also kill the idea of this country. Let's keep it real there is no way that a group of males sitting in a room almost 300 years ago could have foreseen everything that would confront this country. Hell most of us can't plan a budget for a year without a surprise popping up. For us to believe that the founders of this country and framers of the constitution were all wise is a mistake.
We simply have to find ways as a country to move forward respecting our past, and being critical and honest with ourselves, but being bold enough to blaze a new trail. The government can't provide jobs for all of us, the government cant push growth, stimulate the economy, and take care of the poor and sick. They can enact laws that makes this possible and easier to accomplish, but the bottom line is simply that it is we the people who have to find create ways to do these things, and we need to hold our Representatives responsible to us. We are the heartbeat, and if we stop so does this country.
