The other day I got upset about something. Reflecting on it I realize how I became a “participant in human drama” by letting my ego get the best of me. I am a member of a dance group for Junkanoo. When I joined the group I learned they had some drama in recent history, but after a shakeup everyone was trying to move forward positively. Since everyone seemed recommitted I could care less about their ancient drama; I just came to collect a piece of treasure for my treasure hunt: freedom in the goatskin drum, freedom in the dance.
Unfortunately I let myself get drawn into the drama and had a period of unconsciousness, which took the form of me cussing someone off.

I loved Iyanla Vanzant’s meditation for October 14, in her daily word book Acts of Faith. The affirmation for the day was: “I am”. The inspirational quote was: “Stop doing. Start being.” The main difference is that doing is intellectual and being is spiritual. When we get stuck in the doing of things we get trapped in our minds, thinking about what we can and cannot do, or should and should not do; we get trapped in our minds, thinking about what others will think, say or do about our doing. That is a recipe for disharmony.
