ON HOODOO TIME PART I
Hello all
Was thinking about programming hoodoo identity
and thinking about scholarship
ima have to make a list of books you need to read
and ii was thinking about how iim calling on you
to begin mediattive practice and im thinking
about how all these skill sets take years to
manifest and if you like me I want my results
tomorrow
I wanna be this new improved hoodoo person
tomorrow
but thats not how it works
anything of value tskes years to manifest
in particular soulwork
so ima need you to start thinking in hoodoo time
that encompasses past present future and mythologic in the moment
no seriously, thats for later discussion
that just kinda came out of the flow
eventually I wasn’t you to think in
eras and generations, destinywork
but for moment I want you to accept loss of instant gratification in favor of a longer
vision frame, assume that every phase will take at least a year and possibly more
start meditation practice now - be a year before youre good at it
start a Text now, be a year before you got a draft
(might not be the case but assume / plan on
well, that took longer than I thought it would
any real goal generally will take
longer than you thought it would
patience puppy
the thing is to never quit, when you running long
distance you adjust to the terrain, you pace yourself
if you want to win life you got to do a little
bit more than a ‘normal’ person would
You gotta master time
these are two approaches to time management
ashunda gave me permission to show you her approach
and ima assume you got your own way of taking
control of your life so you are not tossed about by
the winds of circumstance and the whims of others
and you constantly retooling it to be more
effective, get more bang for your buck
this is my latest TO BE DONE version
because I was losing track of what
zooms had been scheduled when
needless to say I am more slack
than I am on it but at least I try
to maintain, to conduct myself
as I aspire to be, this is the
essence of conjuration
making real into the world that which was not
I got all these initiatives in at play in diff stages
of maturity and implementation and when they
are all humming I feel like they are an orchestra
And I am the conductor
and when they are in harmony
the music is very good to me
patience
yall be safe now
ON HOODOO TIME PART II
Sorry, another thread of why I did the
patience thing this week cause I got to
keep reminding myself with yall
patience rick,
I want you all to be full
grown high hoodoos
tomorrow
but I followed babajohn Killens from school
to school for 16 years and in MFA academe
I had three years to turn folk into literary
forces, it’s a diff dynamic and my MFA folk
would often ask, what did you do
in one workshop for 16 years and i
tell them 1st he taught us how to write
then he taught us how to be writers
then when we were published he
taught us how to be professionals
taught us how to promote and run
literary game and then when we were
professionals he taught us
how to be visionaries
it is what in spiritual traditions
is called ‘the unwritten text’
the extended example of the masters life
when nurturing cultural forces
I gotta be patient and not push you
and not overload you and your daily grind
gotta work in a format of years
not months and weeks
which is how I want to roll
often what I be telling yall
is what I need to know
everything benefits from patience
steady roll
be safe
