MY SUPPORTS
My daily supports revolve around my ancestors, family, and being in tune with nature. These are the elements that get me through each day! When I work, play, meditate, and educate my children and others--I think about how all of these factors collaborate together to motivate what I do on a day-to-day occurrence. Trying to imagine what it would be like without these factors is extremely difficult because these motivational forces are what drives me to wake up in the morning and push through each day...It's the hope of something greater, an educational and sustainable push for life, that causes me to awaken and endure the trials and tribulations associated with an ever-changing world, that may or not be working towards the greater good of respect for the cultural basis of this entire world. These are the solid guiding lights in a world of flickering glimpses of light, and I owe them all much respect and dedication.
If I were to imagine a challenge that I don't currently have, such as actually becoming a sustainable family farm and space would be the greatest challenge. I think that this would be the challenge because the surrounding world is built on a mainstream and system, with rules and enforcement that are not always friendly to the indigenous cultures of the world. To pull from this mainframe and educationally, spiritually and physically become sustainable and set yourself free would be a challenge beyond comparison. Overcoming the temptation to re-incorporate yourself into the system to make it from day-to-day, is the ultimate test, and I would need each of my support systems to make it successfully through that test!
