The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith

The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith We are deep in the final stretch of 2025, Fam. Can you feel it? The air is thick right now. It’s not just the winter chill; it’s the vibration of completion. We are walking through the 7th Cycle, the season of Imani (Faith) , and we are marching toward the Great Restoration. But today? Today the fractal of time is doing something special. If you look at the map of time, the math is shouting at us. Here we are, standing in the Year of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) —where we define ourselves and speak for ourselves. We are swimming in the Cycle of Imani —believing in our victory with all our hearts. But here is where it gets interesting: We are in the Week of Kuumba (Creativity) , and today, specifically, is the Day of Kuumba . That’s a "Double-Dose" of Creativity. A double shot of that creative spark. Now, I know what the world tells you creativity looks like. They tell you it’s adding more paint ...

My Reflection

After reading this blog by +Seth Godin  I had to reflect on what Respect truly means. I love to look into words and get back to their roots. As  a matter of fact, I make it a habit. I believe that you can only grasp the true meaning of a word when you go back to where it comes from. i guess this is a lesson that I learned from the Book called  "Openings To The African Tree of Life by Erskine Peters" in it their is a proverb that states "in the original name is the essence". For me this has become a mantra that a say and put into action. By practicing the wisdom that lies in that proverb it has helped me make sense of words that I and others around me would just throw around. I began to realize that I was using words simply on feeling and not really understanding the true meaning.
That brings me back to the word Respect, which the blog (at least to me ) is talking about. The word Respect is composed of to smaller words:
 Re- which means again
Spect- which means to see
So when we put these to words together it simple tells us that respect is "seeing something again", or "to look at people and things deeper". In this culture we are taught to things fast and most of the time we skim over people, places, things and ideas without taking the time to look deeper. When we do this we rob ourselves of the lessons that they can provide, and even deeper we rob the thing that we should be observing the opportunity to teach us the lesson that it has for us.
When I reflect on my past experience working with young people, a big issue with them was that they felt that the world around them was not Respecting them. In other words we were glancing at them rather than really seeing them. It is natural for all of us to want to be seen, and appreciated for what we really are rather that what we are perceived to be because of what we wear, or how we talk. I believe that the world would be a better place if we really began to practice the true meaning of Respect. What would happen to the planet if we really began to see it for what it really was? what would happen if we began to see the youth for what they really were? What would happen in our work places if we began to truly see those who work with us, and lastly what would happen to ideas and opportunities if we began to see them for what they really were.
So I end My introduction of this blog by challenging the reader to truly see what the author of this piece you are about to read is saying....

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...

Peace FAM: I am running into some powerful information about the power of the breath.
