The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  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. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. 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. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. 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...

Live Your Faith by Being Imani (Sample)

Image
  Imani means faith in Swahili. Many people are familiar with the term, but Imani is more than just a word. It's a principle — one of the most important principles we can live and share with others. Telling someone that you have faith in them isn't enough when they're facing an illness or other difficult circumstance. And telling someone that you have faith in The Creator & The Ancestors isn't enough when you don't act on your belief. Faith without action is dead, and that's what Imani is about — taking action to show others that you believe in them and their abilities. Imani means living your faith. The words "live" and "faith" don't belong together for many people because they think their faith should be something silent, confined to the walls of the chapel or church building. But Imani calls us to live our faith in all aspects of our daily lives — at home, at work, with friends and neighbors, even on trips and vacations." Join...

Tha Sample "The Kuumba Concept: Creating A Culture"

Image
The Kuumba concept is rooted in the idea that we are all artists, I dare say creators; our collective consciousness is a canvas on which we paint with our thoughts and emotions. We live in a culture that does not encourage us to express ourselves freely. If you don't fit into the mold, if you don't do what you're "supposed to," if you don't think exactly how others want you to think, then you are ostracized. This understanding, that we are all artists, creators and that art is everywhere, may be a source of freedom. In Kuumba , we are truly free to express all our emotions, to celebrate the beauty of life from birth to death. Freedom is the bridge between what exists and what could be. When given freedom and space, our imagination can thrive and with this strength we can face challenges head on. We must take responsibility for who we are and where we are going. So before you spend $15 on another book, instead try some freestyling; paint your canvas with whatev...
