To Rest Is to Resist: Reclaiming Stillness in a Culture That Fears It

To Rest Is to Resist: Reclaiming Stillness in a Culture That Fears It    "Even the drum rests between beats. That silence? It’s sacred." *video available  Here We’ve all heard the warning: "An idle mind is the devil’s workshop." For many of us, especially Black folks, those words were passed down like sacred scripture . Spoken in love but forged in trauma, the phrase echoes our people’s long history of being forced to produce, hustle, and perform just to be seen as human. But what if stillness isn't laziness? What if rest—real, intentional, soul-deep rest—is resistance? The Weekend That Asked for Nothing Recently, I did something radical. I laid down. Not from exhaustion. Not because I’d worked two jobs. Not because I earned it. I just… wanted to. And for the first time in what felt like forever, I didn’t feel guilty about it. No rushing to open a building. No helping someone move a couch. No calls, spreadsheets, or space-saving. I just was. And that still...

Daily Toast- 58171 "Benefits Of Steaming"

Peace FAM:
Great Umoja, let's take some time and talk about the power of steaming and how you can use it in your life to get healthier, and to make cooking easier. i personally cook everything in it. As a matter of fact I made my kids some eggs in it this morning. Of course they were hard boiled, but I have made omellets as well as poached. I cook my rice, quinoa, and etc.. I also take care of my fish in this contraption. My favorite thing to prepare though is beans, man I can prepare some beans in less than 2 hours and if they are soaked even sooner. By adding some extra water and vegitables I can make it a soup.
The best part about the steamer is that I can warm up my veggies, and not kill or wash away the health benefits. So those of you taking that 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge go to a thrift store or find one of your friends who love buying gadgets and only use them for a few times, and get it from their. I just want to stress that you do not have to go out and buy and brand new steamer. Go on a quest and find one, and you may find something else you need.
Lastly I just poseted up part 2 of the axe' breath for all those doing the challenge so you should be getting it in your email, and if you don't get it let me know @ ha2tim

How to pour Libations

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...
