Today, instead of focusing on your political platform regarding the true meaning of July 4, use the time to draw from the energy of Orisha Sango and Orisha Oya, and focus on freeing yourself from feelings of failure. Fight for your independence from indolence and remember that your commitment to spiritual growth and development cannot remain as simply a conversation. Action is required for your mortality to reach a level of consciousness that celebrates the consistency of your ancestors, the potency of your Ori, the commitments of your Egbe, and the beauty of your Orisha.
At the end of the day, we have to more than want to remember what we have forgotten when we crossed the rivers of forgetfulness; we have to put in the work.
Fireworks may be going off outside. But the true sparks should be lit in your spirit and the show should be the new actions of your shell.
Luz, Amor, y Àşę.
