The Art of Broken Wood: Why Brute Force Is Killing Your Genius

The Art of Broken Wood: Why Brute Force Is Killing Your Genius Listen to the episode for this week of Kuiumba We love to sit by the muddy banks and complain about the storm. Look at our households, our ventures, and our exhausted minds. The shelter caved in, the resources feel waterlogged, and the old blueprint doesn't work anymore. So what do we do? We drop our tools, sit in the mud, and drown in the lower emotional loop: Mad at the downpour, Sad about what washed away, and Scared that we don't have what it takes to rebuild. From that paralyzed place, we drown in blame, shame, and guilt. We blame systemic weather; we carry the shame of broken foundations; we carry the guilt of not saving everyone. But Kuumba (Creativity) —burning in its radiant fire of deep Orange—does not ask you for seasoned, kiln-dried timber from the master’s storehouse. Kuumba looks at your mud-soaked reality and asks a sovereign question: What did the flood wash to your feet? Ancient Mangbetu lore tel...

Set yourself on fire

Sparks of fireImage via Wikipedia
Set self on fire/
and crowd will gather,spark jumps/
now others aflame?

when we jump into what we are doing totally with out holding back we literally set ourselves on fire. fire has always attracted others. People will gather around to watch you burn, and in watching you the flame that is what you do will inspire others to also to follow their passion there by setting themselves a flame.
When people watch others burning with passion the sparks from that one spreads to those who are ready to burn themselves. this is how revolution or change is sparked. A actual example of this just happened in 2011 when an individual that was so tired of this life and the injustice of the society that he lived in got tired and literally set himself a blaze. The sparks of what he did and the reason why he did it jumped through the people who seen it and those who heard about it. His solitary act caused sparks to fly, and hit the dry wood of the souls in the middle east, and now we are experiencing something called the Arab spring. This one man's act caused a chain reactions that may change the face of the world.
now I am not saying literally set your self on fire, but in a metaphoric sense you have to set yourself a blaze. Find your passion and be willing to light your fire to move toward making it a reality for yourself. You never know what effect it will have in your community, and even the world. You may be the dry piece of wood who soul sparks will fly through the air setting others on fire.
On this Journey we have to be willing to set ourselves on fire to get things moving. We have to be willing to tread where everyone else fears. If not then we are just sheep being led to the slaughter. I believe that those of you are not sheep. I believe that you are the one the world has been waiting for, and it will be through you putting out that book, or writing that blog, or singing that song, or dancing that dance, or inventing that gadget, or supporting that person you believe. When we begin to light up we provide a light for the world to see and they can begin there journey, and when they light their soul up the glow from you and them will provide light so that people can really see the world that they exist in and begin to ask question, and from those questions others will begin to light themselves a blaze, and we will begin a fire that will purify and change the world.
