today, I reflected on how this year started with NDAA (martial law) and the major weather shifts and the social climate with race being on the forefront of everything and how this is election year. When things started to add up and point in a direction I did not like, I started to feel helpless; knowing a march, a megaphone, a letter, a petition, a rally, a picket sign, etc would not make a difference - the kind of difference I want. quite frankly, asking the white man for my birthright to be free is absurd. oppression still existing completely baffles me sometimes. like, how has humanity gotten HERE?
I have stayed very active on researching current events as well as past events that have led up to where we are today but I have been a lot quieter about them all.
In my silence, I have a very loud desire to transcend this plane. I am aware of my infinite being (spirit) and the power of internal spiritual journeys. More than anything I want the alignment, balance and focus to transcend. Maybe then I will become more vocal about moving towards changing the world. as it stands now, I feel like I have to change my own life and world first. I am making a vow to myself now that my time in Tanzanian villages (no phone, no internet, no U.S. media, etc.) will be spent spiritually cleansing and reading (another goal of mine is being well read in my areas of interest).
I look forward to the clarity. The energy here weighs me down and I know I can get beyond it. So I will.
p.s. yesterday I wrote about travel and making the world my home. I’m doing that, too. the confinement I feel does not have to be felt.
