I look like a Ninja 🥷 because I am one.
I’ve been spending time in Japan 🇯🇵 for my Birthday and as I’ve been immersed in the sacred cultures here I’ve considered the work that this priesthood has required of me. The Death to Ego that reminded me that holding on to anger and ego and pride was like holding on to a beautiful knife blade side and squeezing it thinking you were taking what was yours. It taught me that even when you’re wronged that it is the grace that you show up in that reaps the reward of the universe. It taught me that I know so much, simply because I’m aware that i know nothing at all. Empty mind. Full heart. Long and healthy Life. We wear white because black absorbs so much energy. White gives you an opportunity to have energy that isn’t good reflect off of you back to it. We wear white to SEE on our cloth the work that we do as evidence to the light. As a descendant of the maroons 🇯🇲 I can also recognize the Power in absorbing. The power of intentionally surrounding yourself with such goodness that you everything that you absorb feeds you and feeds you well. I’m ranting but I’m saying that to say this. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life, and I’ve been happy 😌. To be 40 and have the Love that I do in all the ways that it’s offered is a blessing only God could have participated in. I feel chosen, in a way that is void of expectations yet FILLED with gratitude.
Here’s to 40. 🥂
Thank you for journeying with me
xoxo-Iya 💙
