Are You a Snake or a Rope?

  Are You a Snake or a Rope? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-venom-of-value-why-ujamaa-needs-teeth--71550747 We’ve all heard that Ujamaa is about "cooperation," but what happens when cooperation turns into exploitation? Today on the porch, we’re tackling a tension most of us feel but few of us voice: the fear of being "too expensive" or "too difficult" for our own people. We’re diving into a proverb that warns us what happens when a powerful creature refuses to show its venom. Are you accidentally inviting people to use your life’s work as "firewood" for their own agendas? It’s time to look at the buildup of "docility" we’ve been told is a virtue, and see it for the burden it actually is. Call to Inaction: Release the burden of being the 'harmless' one. * What is one "favor" you need to stop doing immediately to regain your time? Whose "firewood" are you currently tying together at the expense of your o...

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.

Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

  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.

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.

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...
