The Power of the Web: Why Ujima is the Key to Our Future

Image
In a world that praises the "self-made" individual, the principle of Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) offers a more powerful truth: we are made by each other. Today, as we vibrate in the color Blue , we reflect on the architecture of our community. Ujima is not just a nice idea; it is a survival strategy. It is the realization that we cannot achieve true Peace, Power, or Joy in isolation. When one of us is hurting, the whole body of the community is weakened. Conversely, when we work together to solve our problems, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Why You Need to Listen to "Tha Daily Spark" Staying aligned with our cultural values in a world that often ignores them is a daily challenge. That is why I created Tha Daily Spark . Each episode is designed to give you that "spark" of wisdom—the alignment you need to keep your hands on the plow and your heart in the work. By becoming a subscriber and a supporting member, you are practicing Uji...

Allow Happiness to Find You

Sitting preparing for my show I can't help but to feel blessed. I have been living my life fully for the last few years. I have been able to support myself and still continue doing the things that I love. This simple idea becomes important after talking with others who seem to be stuck some where they don't want to be. One thing that I have learned from my short time on this planet is that the grass is green every where you are. You can look across the fence and think that someones life is going better, but believe,  they have their own problems. You will never find happiness by measuring where you are in your life by looking at where you think you should be, or to what others have or maybe what they have accomplished. Happiness begins for us when we can be thankful for what we have where we are. I have made a determined effort to manifest this fact in my life.
 One thing that always brings this idea alive for me is when I am looking at my babies or talking to my older children. They either smile or remind me of the important role that i have and still play in their life. Then i have to reflect on all that have done, and all that I still do. We can find our happiness when we are able to create value for others, by our actions. We don't have to have big pockets, sometimes just being able to listen is enough. When you begin to get caught up in the tide of depression that will come, look at where you are and find the beauty of the moment. Believe me it is there we just have to train ourselves to find it. One thing that I do is take a walk in nature. Regardless of the season you can find something that will take your breath away. The society we live in has bombarded us with so much information that it is hard to find wonderment, but if you train your senses you can find it. The blooming of a flower, the flight of a bird, or even a branch reaching out to touch you. This little spectacular things if you give them the attention that they are asking you for you will find the happiness that you seek. Look at the beautiful people around you, and check out there smile or their laughs and allow all these small things to pull you into what is really important. It is not where you are going, or where you have been, but it is where you are. Get the lesson and pull yourself back to joy, and love. Happiness will find you, if you let it.

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 Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
