August ~ Novel Emergence with Divine Purpose

-

 

Ever since I can remember, when the Month of August arrives, discussions begin about the #8 and inevitably shouts of "New Horizons" are heard. These conversations are filled with hope, plans for unity and peace and personal balance. The atmosphere becomes sprinkled with Creative Risings and innovative initiatives.

Preparing for this Month, I thought of a familiar adage that contains the statement, "As a Phoenix, rising from the ashes" which is often used when talking about next level life experiences. Meditating on this concept, my mind saw a picture of a Crescent moon. Upon further study, I learned that Crescent moons represent Motherhood and Fertility (you know that caught my attention) and that it is also said to be symbolic of development, creative power and manifestation. 

The end of the moon's cycle (the waning phase) is leading into a NEW moon. It is the feminine symbol that universally represents the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle. As we give birth, a part of you dies in order to give birth. It is taken from you and shows up in what you birth. 

In Islam, the crescent of the new moon signifies the beginning and end of fasting during Ramadan. In Christianity, Biblical references use the moon symbol to highlight cosmic events, divine epiphanies and the ephemeral nature of human life and history. In Hinduism, it symbolizes that the Lord is the master of time and is himself timeless.

Quite often, we experience hesitancy and some trepidation when entering novel enclaves. Yet, it is here that we are likely exposed to the divine disruptions and ideas that shift our soul and prepares us for out next phase. 

August risings make us ready for the ninth month deliveries!!

"And the Angel came to her and said, "Rejoice favored woman! The Lord is with you.....Then the Angel told her: Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Now listen, you will conceive and give birth to a Son, and you will call His name Jesus."  St. Luke 1:28-31 (HCSB) On this Christmas day, that Christians refer to as the day that Christ was born, I reflect on a previous conversation that I had with my oldest Son, Byron. We were conversing about various aspects of my Organization, "A Mother's Cry" and some of the challenges of bringing for my goals and visions to support Mothers. In addition, I shared some of the challenges of Motherhood and the weight of responsibility of shaping, molding and nurturing your child. I explained to him that being a Mother, includes experiencing strengths and weaknesses that you did not even realize you possessed. Also, there are fears and uncertainties that arise as you accept this responsibility. In response

Honoring Our Elders

-
For many of our older Black and Brown people, one of the most challenging things to deal with, regarding today's exposure of Racism, Bigotry, Police Brutality and Government Corruption is that today looks just like yesteryear. The Systemic Racism is still the Foundation of the establishment that they call America. Regardless, we must continue to stand against these things and expose them whenever and wherever they are. We will not give up our fight for Justice and Equality. Period. We honor or Elders by continuing to fight. We honor them by letting them know that we value the prices that they have paid for us. We honor them by recognizing and acknowledging that THEY are the shoulders upon which we stand. We honor THEM.
