HAPPINESS?

Black lovers, the circle of love

"I don't think happiness is the rarity claimed by many. I think happiness is elusive to certain mindsets. Attachment, more than anything, leads the soul away from happiness in the states of being where happiness can thrive, but in a social and cultural construct that believes in the pursuit of happiness happiness is elusive. Happiness is an elusive trickster because it isn't supposed to be pursued!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.11.13

"Despite all the talk, and boasting Black Americans, I learned the hard way, exhibit their disdain for the essence of what is "African." I learned over the decades how deeply embedded the contempt for Africa from Blacks here is in the US. Little has changed in the past six decades and more in that respect. 

I am getting older, and closer to my grave, and do not see the next generation closer to embodying the essence of their ancestors, building relationships and altars with and for their ancestors, or separating themselves with the truth of their attachment to the approval of White Americans. More than any other description Wasicun Sapa is the better description and name of a people such as ours. What is Wasicun Sapa? It is the name the Cheyenne gave the African ex-slaves they met in the 1800's. It means Black White People." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.11.13
