![]() ![]() The Mississippi of my dad’s youth was an apartheid state that subjugated its near-majority black population through breathtaking acts of violence. My dad was born into a family of sharecroppers on a white plantation in Greenwood, Miss., where black people bent over cotton from can’t-see-in-the-morning to can’t-see-at-night, just as their enslaved ancestors had done not long before. At the edge of our lawn, high on an aluminum pole, soared the flag, which my dad would replace as soon as it showed the slightest tatter. Our corner lot, which had been redlined by the federal government, was along the river that divided the black side from the white side of our Iowa town. The blue paint on our two-story house was perennially chipping the fence, or the rail by the stairs, or the front door, existed in a perpetual state of disrepair, but that flag always flew pristine.

You can treat this sense of "knowing-ness" or desire as just one more of those hypothetical, day-dreamed, unpractical and rather impossible things, ignore it, and get on with your journey of survival or, you can treat it as a nice, noble desire, but something to be held off until you’ve made sure that all the other parts of your life are well taken care of, and then you can do something about this it or, you can make it as your absolute priority now, find a way to experience and recognize the greatest part of your Self, and base the rest of your life upon that inner experience of your true Divinity, living every moment free of all limitations.

I know sometimes life doesn’t seem to go anywhere, sometimes it feels like we are trying to go beyond some repetitive loops of things, but don’t know where to start. People who actually follow the call of that desire and find their Path are even fewer. It is an immense Blessing to have that spark of desire to experience something more than what we were told life should be it is a Blessing to have the desire to experience everything in its fullest rather than trying to survive It is a great Blessing to really want to know who we truly are beyond who we think we have been And, it is one thing to recognize that desire, it is another thing to make that desire your priority It is up to us to make it such a burning desire that we create exactly what we need to achieve it. “It is a Blessing to be granted a desire to be free.
