The Fist and the Scorpion: Unlocking True Umoja

  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?

FreeStyle Friday- 6-12-15

This is freestyle, and I am wondering what will pop off my mind onto my tongue and out my mouth. Feel free to join the hangout, message me so that I can see the link so that you can join the conversation directly or feel free to message questions and comments. I will give you a shout out, and if you have something you want me to  let me know.
I have to be honest I have been plagued by the image of a young man being shot from behind, and it being forgotten so that we can discuss what I consider "fuckery" in Texas. Remember #ausetwe need you, now more than ever. Asar has been cut to pieces and this young Herus are running around here like they have no sense. Hopefully we will wake up before we hit the designed end for us. Also religion has been plaguing me for a few hours today. I need to ask at some point how do we escape the mind and spirit traps that have been laid for our souls. But hey its freestyle and I will flow, and hopefully you will join me.
I had problems with the embedded image showing up so here is a link just in case:
