"The ability to engage in dialogue is one of the most outstanding human attributes. Dialogue expresses our humanity. Through talking with one another, hearts open, mutual understanding develops and friendship spreads.

True dialogue is not putting on a facade and spouting empty, flowery rhetoric. Dialogue is interacting life to life, just as we are, as fellow human beings, with sincerity, conviction and patience. " Daisaku Ikeda

I believe we could all benefit from something I call a "Reflective Communication Practice" to transform the following truth.

Short version (for the distracted among us)

Learned Helplessness + Self Victimization = Mass Disempowerment and Endless Social Division
____________________________

Longer version (for the less distracted among us)

1. Some of our homes and education systems (run by "ADULTS") teach conformity, obedience, subservience and risk-aversion — conditioning CHILDREN to believe their experience, efforts, talents and ideas have little power to change broader outcomes, which is the root of learned helplessness.

2. At the same time, some homes & religious/spiritual traditions (led by "ADULTS") subtly reinforce self-victimization by focusing on fundamental unworthiness, or the necessity of unnecessary suffering for the promise of peace and contentment in some ambiguously distant future (often after death, how unfortunate). This teaches CHILDREN to center their identity on being acted upon rather than actively shaping their own lives in this lifetime.

So.....

When these two forces collide, as we can clearly see happening right now, ADULTS in all types of positions of power and influence are constantly cycling between blaming external forces for their pain and believing they are powerless to change their circumstances.

This combination not only stalls personal agency, but makes society vulnerable to violence, manipulation, polarization, and cynicism—fueling the ruptures seen in public discourse and making authentic collective progress theoretical.... rather than actual!

Hit me up if you want to know more.

Either way... I encourage you to REFLECT. COMMUNICATE & PRACTICE

The strongest partnerships, families, teams and organizations consistently communicate, study and work to understand the difference between unity and uniformity.

Unity makes space for people's individual needs.

Unity invites and celebrates individuals' unique contributions.

Unity seeks to understand the heart of a message, question, or request.

Unity provides opportunities for connection and learning in every direction.

Unity is a living, breathing circle of people making efforts to contribute presence, trust and cooperation.

Unity is practiced.

While useful in some ways, uniformity is often a defensive posture.

It is often imposed on others, static and easily undermined.

It often seeks to create and maintain superficial control, unchanging hierarchy and unreasonable separation from others.

What will you choose to prioritize today? Unity or Uniformity?

It is actually Thurs. Dec. 5th 2024. 7pm - when I'm writing this!
I'm deciding that this will be a happy new year in advance!
Now, relatively speaking...
I don't have very much in the form of material possessions.
I don't have very much in the form of access and popularity.
I don't have very much in the form of cultural power and influence. .and that could all change... we shall see what my efforts cultivate.
I do have however,...
This breath
This mind
This heart
This body
This food
This water
This shelter
These friends
This family
This love
This moment
These plans
This talent
This gift and this gift too.. and those over there.
My resolution is to continue nurturing it all.
This is my garden.
The soil is fertile.
The sun is bright.
The work is rewarding
This life is good in advance.
This life is good in advance.
This life is good in advance.

I love your lungs!

Sometimes,
I feel like I’m in a semi-funhouse
With all of those strange mirrors n' sh*t.

Perception and perspective shifting info.
Sensationalism swirling about endlessly with seemingly know real purpose.
People arguing about arguing about arguing about an argument about an argument.

Conflict is selling.
Division is selling.
Selling peace is selling.
Selling Selling is selling.
Who’s not selling something? Cuz somebody buyin' that course too.
What's it like...$27.27 for the next 27 minutes.. Who you tellin? How compellin!
So, you was born in 03" and you gon’ teach us bout' 90s R&B?
Maybe. Random. I know.

I’m just sayin’. where is the foundation of this thing we call community?
Where is the bridge?
Where can we let our souls sing about where we’ve been and how we got back?
Who was there? Who wasn’t? Where's the navigation? Where's the map?

These endless lectures, sermons, and monologues on...
How to live and who to love and when to give and what’s enough
Get the bag , hide the bluff, mindfulness madness got me stuck. F*ck.
What, if anything, do you think you can learn from me? And I you for that matter?
What does that matter to you?
What does it matter to me?
A lot. Matters a lot.

Truly.

I just want to enjoy aliveness with you.
Life feels like warm surprises with you.
I find it hard to hide this from you.
My vibe shifts toward you.
My eyes look for you.
My wisest lines shine brightest before you.
I adore you. I’m more of me when I get more of you.
I assure you.
Not trying to allure you.
Simply explore you….I implore you.
Give in to us.
We are human together whether or not you want us to co-exist…
THIS IS IT.

Joyful futility.

🔊 Sound on! Happy Friday! Listen. Relax a lil bit before the fun begins.
Breathe deeply.
Breathe deeply.
Contentment will not lure me in to complacency.
Discomfort will not lure me in to complacency.
Convenience will not lure me in to complacency.
Inconvenience will not lure me in to complacency.
Pleasure will not lure me in to complacency.
Pain will not lure me in to complacency.
I haven’t come this far only to come this far.
I haven’t built this awareness only to look at the truth.
I haven’t broken my heart time and time again only to finish the job now.
I haven’t been gifted with a prolonged appearance of youthfulness, youthful energy, and an active imagination only to serve the dreams and aspirations of others at the expense of my own.
I haven’t traveled the world, seen the sights, taken the risks, lost it all only to repeat mistakes that confine me to one particular reality.
I haven’t gained the trust of friends, lovers, potential business partners... only to say that I’ve done so.
Entry is not the victory.
Sustainability is the victory.
Expansion is the victory.
Protection is not the victory.
Peace and joy are the victory. Togetherness. Autonomy. Interweaving like centripetal and centrifugal force.
I wasn’t born into so much suffering and struggle only to perpetuate it unnecessarily in my life and the lives of others.
I was born to practice wisdom, courage and compassion.
I was born to create a life that only I can live.
I was born to create a life that shines whether seen or unseen.
The purpose for my death will be to remind people how to recover and thrive.
The purpose of my death will be to be to remind people how to recover and thrive.
The purpose of my efforts is to remind people, to encourage people, to relate to people, to engage, to uplift, to hold space, to accelerate, to reassure, & to give rest to the restless.

What the f*ck did you think would happen to that lil brown boy?
Nobody taught him how to read the messages from his lil brown body.
He didn’t even know his shoulders was up.
His jaw was clenched
His tongue was at the roof of his mouth...
and the endless stream of wasteful words was a result of an unregulated nervous system.
What could that possibly mean to him at all?
Nobody told him that he didn’t have to have all the answers and right away.
Nobody taught him how to ask the right questions..and that is was okay to challenge authority..
Especially when he couldn’t contextualize the actions he was being forced to take.
Nobody taught him how to strategize for the future.
What is the future?
We don’t have food right now.
Nobody taught him the difference between...
...love and attention... intimacy and s*x,...loyalty and codependence... friendship and business.
What you think was gon’ happen?
Nobody taught him about language, the art of persuasion, the minefields of manipulation, the narratives he’s creating and positions he’s debating are all related to his miseducation
Why do you think that is?
What did you think would happen?
Nobody taught him how to think about what might happen?
What the f*ck did you think would happen to that lil brown boy?

This place is so special to me!

After a series of huge and challenging life changes, I began to travel around as a digital nomad. I was seeking inspiration, novelty, education, and to deepen my connection with myself as a world citizen. After traveling around the states a bit... I decided to go to Salvador, Bahia in Brazil.

One of the best decisions in my life!
