Money has always held a certain mystique for me. I have never really cared much about it. Of course I would like to have enough to pay my bills, but I've never been interested in collecting it. My relationship with money is similar to that of a woman who stops looking for a man...invariably, that's when he shows up. By ignoring it, enough money usually makes it's way to my pocket. Not that I recommend this approach - since sometimes I do find myself holding my breath, wondering if the money will arrive on time. Somehow, it always does though. It also helps to use it vigorously - sort of like exercise. I suppose using it well gives it more energy and power (I mean this in a good way). Anyway, I like to give it away - put it where it is needed and used well. The unintended benefit seems to be that more of it finds it's way back to my pocket. Weird thing, money.
ReplyDeleteYou speak of money as energy. My father is an accomplished man who has always seen money as a tool to get one's life mission done. No more than that.
ReplyDeleteWe are living in a capitalist society, and there are other views, or relationships with money that don't necessarily fit well in American life. In this society the relationship with money is horizontal. It is about ownership, and a slave owner vs. slave worker relationship. Slave, in the context of money, is about money working for us. Most people don’t own a concept of money separate from their worldview, and more often than not that view is full of defeat.
ReplyDeleteIn other worlds (like mine) money is an energy force created by need, want, responsibility and relationship people, elders, ancestors, other world entities. Reconciling these two worldviews has been a challenge for me throughout my whole life. As an older man it has taken on another shape. I am very comfortable talking to Brian about finances, and learning from him. He wears his passion and honesty easily, and his wife validates his life work, and sense of manhood. I am also comforted by his discipline and need to study his craft as deep as he does. Brian being an African-American man settles my trust concerns. –Gregory E. Woods
