The Fist and the Scorpion: Unlocking True Umoja

Image
  The Thumb insisted nothing could be held down without his weight. The Index Finger swore he was the leader because he points the way. The Middle Finger looked down upon everyone because he stood tallest. The Ring Finger flaunted his jewelry, and the Little Finger claimed he alone knew the secrets whispered in dark corners. Individually, they were extraordinary. But when a heavy calabash of water was placed before them, none of them could lift it. And when a venomous scorpion crawled onto their mat, their isolated brilliance nearly got the entire arm killed. Listen to episode In our homes and communities today, we see the exact same paradox. We have never had more degrees, more personal titles, or more individual leverage. Yet when real pressure touches our collective doorstep, why does our grip slip? Why do our five gifted fingers refuse to curl inward until the poison is already in the bloodstream? What illusion of safety are we clinging to that makes us prefer being exceptional...

CHOCOLATES
No one likes chocolate
But everyone seems to like vanilla and alpine white
The darker the Chocolate the longer it sits around and no one will take a bite
Chocolate doesn’t even like chocolate or it’s darker cousin fudge
For anyone to buy either one they would need a little nude
It’s a shame when a chocolate company spends more money on vanilla, than on its own
And try to lighten up chocolate to be as white as a bone
Now the  vanilla company has put german chocolate and white chocolate on the market
Now its even harder for a piece of chocolate just to be chocolate
Now to me being chocolate is the only world I would be in, but the only way I would be bought if my name was first European
Or if in some way I try to fade to alpine, but there is no way I change, without first destroying my mind
Now I love carmel, and when I start to eat vanilla I find it hard to stop, but nothing taste as good to me as one of those fine proud chocolate drops
Or fudge is even better when its made the right way, either one will give me enough energy to make it through the day
The worst part about the situation is when chocolate starts to dislike itself, then it gets all hot and sticky, and begins to melt
Now there is nothing in this world…..
Nothing in this world worst than a melted piece of chocolate, even if I bought a melted piece of chocolate in the trash can I would drop it
Because a melted piece of chocolate would do nothing but contaminate the others, and cause strife and turn one piece of chocolate against another

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 Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
