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.

An interview with Umar Ben Hassan on spreaker

For those of you that don't know who Umar Ben Hassan is maybe you heard of the group he was part of "The Last Poets". I had a chance to chop it with this Elder and listen to him tell me how he hooked up with "The Last Poets". His story covers every part of the heroes Journey, so I didn't need to ask questions. He laid the truth out and even discussed with us how he developed his most famous piece.
After listening to him, I could do nothing but laugh because he showed me how the universe works to get us where it wants us to go, and how small of a world we really live in. So take a few minutes and get acquainted with an Elder on the Journey.
Nuff said
Peace & 1hunidyears
