study with the arif-ullah's, those who Know...seek them out...read their biographies if available, if they are no longer alive. walk the path they have carved through example, through the living...
this year, Love, Lover...this sun cycle, i walk in the art of healing of Self, through listening and doing. listening means non-attached hearing, understanding, compassion, witnessing of the sense of emotion - high or low - and letting go...
all praise is due...
...accept Real-ity, as it is, and do your best...
...to remain inspired, read biographies of those who know/knew. read the works of those who know, in their fiction, poetry, essays, treatises; spend time with those who Know...my brother, the poet/artist/harbinger of Truth, one who Knows, the selfless doer through transparency, honesty, humility; my poppa, the selfless writer/philosopher/activist; my momma the selfless chef, nourisher of communities, the master of discipline through rituals; my cuzzin d, the listener, affirmer, compassionate, engager; my cuzzin kaz, the writer/philosopher/activist; my cousin sharin, the master of resilience, determination, motivation...
what do you want to grow deeper in? who are those who Know?
look past the hollywood...look for those who may be in the harsh shadows of lights, camera, action...
focus on an area or two that is part of your Purpose, i.e. writing/arts, health/healing. build a list of those who Know in these areas...study them...imitate them...follow them around...buy them coffee...schedule a time to hang with them...
