The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights

The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights Imagine being told you must enter a building to access your rights—to speak, to be counted, to shape the laws that govern your life. The door is locked, and you're told you need a key. But no one will tell you what kind of key you need. Some folks bring house keys. Others arrive with driver’s licenses, birth certificates, even passports. They jiggle them in the lock—nothing works. They aren’t denied because they’re unqualified. They’re denied because the rules changed without explanation. This is the danger behind Ohio’s Senate Bill 153 (SB 153)—a bill that hasn’t passed yet , but is already knocking on our community’s door. What Is SB 153? SB 153 is a proposed law—not yet passed —currently being considered by Ohio’s state legislature. It would require all voters to prove their citizenship before casting a ballot. That may sound fair on the surface—but the bill doesn’t define what “proof of citizenship” ac...

Tribal Quotes Revisited - Mastering the Battlefield Within: Conquering Anger for True Victory

 Mastering the Battlefield Within: Conquering Anger for True Victory


In the profound words of Nagarjuna, we find a timeless truth that echoes through the ages: "Although you may spend your life killing, You will not exhaust all your foes. But if you quell your own anger, your real enemy will be slain." This ancient wisdom reminds us that the greatest battles are not waged on the fields of conflict, but within the corridors of our own hearts and minds. It is here, in the mastery of our inner selves, where true victory lies. As a community committed to personal growth and cultural enrichment, let us embark on a journey to understand and conquer our most formidable foe – our own anger.

1. Understanding the Enemy Within Anger is an insidious enemy, lurking within the shadows of our being. It's a force that, left unchecked, can wreak havoc on our lives and relationships. Recognizing anger and understanding its triggers is the first step in mastering it.

2. The Illusion of External Conflict Often, we externalize our battles, perceiving others as foes. Yet, this outward focus is a misdirection from the true conflict within. By shifting our perspective inward, we begin to see that mastering internal turmoil is the key to external harmony.

3. The Power of Mindful Awareness Mindfulness is a potent weapon against the onslaught of anger. It allows us to observe our emotions without judgment, understanding their impermanent nature, and choosing a response rather than reacting impulsively.

4. Cultivating Compassion and Empathy Empathy and compassion are shields that protect us from the arrows of anger. By nurturing these qualities, we not only disarm our own anger but also diffuse potential conflicts with others, fostering a community of understanding and respect.

5. Harnessing the Strength of Forgiveness Forgiveness is the act of releasing ourselves from the grip of resentment. It's a declaration of victory over the past grievances and a step towards a future of peace and reconciliation.

6. The Practice of Patience Patience is the quiet yet resolute force that stands firm in the face of provocation. It is the art of giving time its due, allowing situations to unfold, and responses to emerge with clarity and purpose.


As we journey through the battlefield within, let us remember that conquering our anger is not a quest for the faint-hearted. It demands courage, persistence, and a commitment to growth. But the rewards are immeasurable – peace, harmony, and a profound sense of empowerment. As you walk this path, remember you are not alone.

Together, let us turn our battles into bridges, leading to a future where personal mastery and community strength are one and the same.

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 .
