April Yvette Thompson i am on fire with aha moments....truly... i have no idea why, but i'm writing it down....what i'm discovering will be my next class....howlin... if u down, thas good, if u disagree, that's ur business and i really have no interest in hearing about it... i'm learning and discovering shit that's been at my door for the last 40 years that i've been ignoring that all my elders have been trying to tell me... u ain't like everybody else...so listen to the cues your path is sending u... u will not be oppressed, under fire, unloved or unwanted...u will be this new magical thing you're becoming if you will only get out of your way and stop listening to the fears of others...just cuz u black and they black don't mean u got the same fears... when i have these aha moments, amazing people come to me and share amazing things...people who are on the brink of transformation... the kind of transformation that there is no rule book for....there are no guides...people who have walked these paths....we've created something new bec we're taking advantage of every idea, opportunity, belief system available to us...without fear.... it's sorta amazing... so if u find you can't comment on the thread or you email me with your disagreement and don't get a response...it's because i'm not talking you ....i'm talking to and discovering allies who are on a similar path...who can offer more clues and discoveries....not arguments...that's not why i'm here... i'm here to learn something new...not argue over old ideas that have never served me... i'm cleaning house...i've created new privacy settings and groups who can access different kinds of posts... i'm interested in folks with something new to offer...and i'm starting to meet them....what they have to say is unlike anything i've heard before...it's not the same old coping mechanisms from slavery that we've been regurgitating for the last 150 years....these folks are operating from a place of "what if my color didn't exist", what if i moved through the world exactly as i am without all the notions about history and what people are perceiving or how dangerous it is to be me... these folks are operating from "who would i be without my isms"... they're not here to argue over the same bullshit that everybody else is arguing over... they're here making discoveries, breaking ground, moving to places where nobody looks like them, doing things that nobody else has done... these are the new warrior spirits i'm interested in.... keep talking.... i'm listening....
