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.

The Creator's Dilemma (sample)




 The story of creation is often misunderstood, but the truth is it is a story which repeats itself in every one of our lives. The world we live in was created. It was not always here. It was created by god and by man. For a moment think of this earth as it was before it was made: an empty space, nothingness, and yet with such possibility. If you were to ask God what he wanted to do with this empty space, he would say without hesitation, "I want to make a heaven." This is the dream of a creator.

But man's dreams are not all the same; they vary from person to person. Some may wish to make paradise, but others wish to make hell. Some believe that the world is inherently good and some believe that it is inherently evil. But whatever each one believes about the world, they have the power to shape it as they see fit. We have all come into this life as creators; we have come full of ideas and ambitions for ourselves and for others around us. And if we could achieve our goals, we would find ourselves in heaven on earth — or at least that is what we hope!

But there is another side to being a creator; we are not only creating the world....

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...
