AFRICAN BEAUTY

HERITAGE

PART 59

There is supposed to be a reciprocal relationship between Black men and women. Without an ability to comprehend, and act out the subtle art of merging the process of vulnerability, and other powers it all remains an ideal, a dream and a recollection of what once was a spiritual reality, and a fact of life! 

I understand the concepts of Kingship, and the realms of the Queen, as do many others, but it is out of reach because of the stories we carry and tell ourselves and each other by action, thought, and assimilation. Unlearning, forgiving, and venturing into the underworld of the source of our tragedies are our deepest fears. That fact is the bane of our existence. We don't collectively, or individually have the fortitude, integrity, training, intent, or the impeccability of Jesus to walk into the underworld and emerge renewed. We are afraid of the internal life.

The reminders of Kingship, and the realms of the essence of royalty, and divinity for a Black man and a Black woman are missing the spiritual, cultural, and emotional connection to the African tribes each of us come from. Being Black White People, and accepted by whites has taken precedence. To arise from this morass takes what? How can that happen?
