If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Nature: One Happening Season

In my house are two plants with rigid, treelike trunks. They step forward and backward - moving, but not progressing in four years. At least they're surviving. As close as I've been, I didn't realize how much they're leaning and how unnatural this has been. Again I'm told they need a significant change; so, finally back outside they go.

Just halfway into the season one is standing tall. The other is still blah. A new pot, soil and support are added. Its roots thank God. In a short while, the main branches are moving towards center with renewed energy.

The season is still at hand and both plants are replacing dull, older parts with leaves reflecting their inherent richness. They complement themselves. Other plants sharing in this, beyond what hearing or seeing can detect, are also becoming robust.

It's amazing what, what's natural for you, can do. A lot can happen in one season.

All is within yourself. Know your most inward self and look for what corresponds with it in nature.
