---------------------
INVOCATION: let this work be a healing
I am flowers of the delta clan flowers and the line of o Killens
this is a book on life as pilgrimage, on life as transformation
in a 365 day almanac structure designed to give guidance
in your daily grind, a year of transformation that represent a
lifetime of it, in alignment with seasons and stars, a cosmic
tai chi, an interrogation of the hoodoo way as a life in spirit
this Text is designed to walk you thru a transformative year
that also chronicles the journey of life as pilgrimage
the hoodoo way
in context of my efforts to forge afroam wisdom tradition
an instrument of selfgrowth, a book of transformation,
a meditation on wisdom in the hoodoo way
I want this to be a wisdom text
I want it to generate wisdom in whoever reads it
I want it to make the pursuit of wisdom
an integral aspect of the hoodoo way
I want to reforge the hoodoo way as a
wisdom tradition
so each passage will be in context of the pursuit of wisdom
a spiritual practice in the daily grind is what im trying to encourage
forces me to stay grounded into day to day grind
the new year is always about renewal, assessing the lessons
of the year just past, considering the challenges ahead
let us begin
JAN 01: ON THE GOOD LIFE its all good
this work will be an exploration of the good life
the life well lived
just what is the good life, what does living the good life entail
different things for different folk, depends on what you consider important
lets just assume everybody wants the basics: shelter, financial stability,
loving relationships, rewarding jobs, interesting experiences, drama free days,
blissful moments both fleeting and timeless
damn near its attitude, living a life so deep in the spirit that
whatever happens, good or bad, you finesse it
for optimal growth of the spirit / soul / life experience / trip value
a life that entails wisdom and serenity of purpose
a life impervious to the vicissitudes of Fa
the good life is whatever life you got
living well is one of the greatest blessings
mastery of the good life is our goal here
for some folk the good life is ruthlessly material
more money, more prestige, more achievement,
if this is you take a moment to reconsider
you welcome to do all these things but they should
not be the point and purpose of life,
a frustrated life, not a good life
if life is about pilgrimage: a life of spirit, service
and transformation then the good life is one that
facilitates spirit and service, an lifelong attitude
the good life life is an effective life, a satisfying life
w/its allotted share of tribulations kept in perspective
by the serenity of purpose infusing your daily grind
living well will extend your life
and enhance its days
JAN02: A YEAR IN THE LIFE
remember, dear traveler, this year in the life
is supposed to represent a life in the spirit
a year of pilgrimage - in search of holyground
