The end is near. The end is here. This is the end of time and the beginning of time. New years are for change, and if you’re of a mind, evolution. How will I become myself, my better or best self? What steps do I take to free myself, my family or my people? Einstein once said that doing the same thing but expecting different results is insanity. Sanity is our goal. But with the past, the negative or positive past, nipping at our heels: how do we move forward successfully?
We possess negative and positive family and personal traditions that move us forward or hold us back. We have real and false responsibilities sucking wrongly or rightfully at our energy. Will we nurture our goals or will we be further drained of our precious lifetime and have our youthfulness diminished for another year?
During the American slavery era, enslaved AfriKans would run for their lives usually around Christmas time. If they made it they celebrated the New Year as free people.
A new year can begin anytime. Birthdays, anniversaries, daybreak, with a death or a birth…time can stop and you’ll need to begin again anew. You can flip the script. Write a new chapter of your life. The past, present and future are one phenomenon so if you change the present, you change your relationship to past and future. Your ancestors (the ones who were good) only want good for you. Their lives were spent lifting us out of machinations and evil, and they schooled us on avoiding the tricks and traps of life. They want us to live fully and make life worthwhile for every generation springing forth and unfolding just as we were once upon a time. The earth wants you to save your life so you can save her’s. She nurtures us so that we can nurture her. Cast your fate to the wind. Write a bold new manifesto…now manifest.
