WE OUTSIDE FOR DA CULTURE
Yoga in da Park. Wild Reads. Ancestors Show and Tell Full Moon Juju.
BISH IT’S SUMMER TIME AND WE DA FUQ OUTSIDE, YA HEARD?
A year after the great “take deez seats” time-out the OG gave the entire globe, it is now summertime. I am HERE for it. “Fuck it, Ize free and in the sun I be,” is how I’m living. Now, I know that there will be as many folks questioning “vax status, mask status and social distancing status” as there will be those who say “bitch I survived college, coke and pick-up sex in bathroom stalls in the 90s hence I’m impervious and I have a permit to carry.” To all I say, “Dis Amerikkka and you gonna do what you gonna do.”
Insert deep thought here: “Judge not because ye too have fucked up.”
Also, let us all be mindful of the flagrant erosion of boundaries via data-rich social media marketing innate in publicly announcing one’s “status.” History shows…inch, mile, yikes. Perso, mental, general or sexual health status is not something I shout from rooftops, or upload in a hoe the fuck proprietary unregulated digital share with employers. Yet, culture is now accepting public vax updates as de rigeur.
Insert deep thought here: “When one thing is taken for granted, all things granted get taken. Mark my words for $300 Alex.”
We outside. Vitamin D drops can only do so much, so please, get your ass, face and body to the GREAT outdoors. Parks, beaches, woods, patios, stoops, boats, sump. Seeing people back outside is giving me joy. And we all need some of that shit, now more than ever. Here’s a fun wellness ting you too can do to get your WE OUTSIDE ON.
Urban Asanas-Sundays, 12:30PM ET, Broward Park, donation-based. Full disclosure, Jyll Hubbard-Salk, the owner of Urban Asanas, is my sister. That said, she’s the best (don’t believe me, check her press, Goggle her Google and such) and the ONLY and FIRST Black-owned yoga studio in Crown Heights.
Wild Reads. “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I adore this book for so many reasons - mainly because it totally emphasizes, supports, and is a resource for finding, nourishing, and sustaining Divine AKA wild feminine. I read from it often after I honor my Ancestors. They love that book! Check it out for yourself.
Ancestors Show and Tell: Full Moon in Capricorn Juju. Capricorn is a consistent task-master, self-sufficient the point of apparent isolation at times, and loyal AF to growth. This Thursday, at 2:40 PM ET, the Full moon pops off in the season of Cancer. Ancestors speak: “What is the connective tissue between who you are showing up as in this world and wat we iz showing your soul about who you truly are in ALL WORLDS? FREEDOM. Freedom is the name of the ting that shows up, with, for, and about you kittens. Issa perfect time to work on cracking yo shell, or outward reflection, and getting into your internal sweet meats. In this center of sweet, you may find the fetid scent of shame. Much like the crab itself, as above so below, there’s a reason for the season m’baby.” Here’s the work: work on cleaning that literal psychic shit up. Journaling is super clutch, free-write top of the am if you can. And whenever spirit speaks. Ya hurd?
