Language Skills

 Say what?

Why do people feel the need to suck as people? How is belittling others anything but bullying? There are good and bad in all flavors of people so it isn't one color or race leading the pack. Mine, mine, mine is not something I expect to hear from adults but we have become tribal and closed minded and for what really. How does your native language disrespect mine? It doesn't. No matter what language is spoken. It doesn't. Those that get angry to hear another language are very insecure I believe. They have been listening to the BS that is so readily available and from so many different sources.
If not for the true Natives, the Navajo, WWII could have given all of us one German language and heritage and how would your life be today? The thing is we are almost all of us a part of each other. I am not one race I am a combination of many. For the believers we are all God's children. We shouldn't be our physical attributes but our diverse backgrounds and knowledge. We should be good humans who learn from one another and enjoy the food and other customs that are not our own without berating our fellow humans. Life is short. Let's enjoy the dance while we are here.

Just As I Am

I 💗 America!
Being in a melting pot with so many rich and diverse cultures. I can't imagine living in a country where each person is expected to dress the same, enjoy the same foods, be the same as their neighbor. That just seems so unnatural to be relegated to be just like those around me or in my circle. How would we learn new things? We must forget how much we share and learn from one another. If not for learning, most of us would be where we came from originally or elsewhere. The Native Americans saved us as we immigrated. They taught us how and what to grow, fertilize and when to harvest. How to smoke meat, to navigate and acclimate to the indigenous surroundings. Which plants to eat, what plants would heal and which are toxic. How to tan hides and on and on "Pilgrim". Ever had a cup of coffee or chocolate anything? Came from somewhere right? Most all of us came from somewhere and brought pieces of our traditions with us. Maybe some traditions were started once our families settled in this once new land.

Land of the free and home of the brave. So many have fought for our right to be bound ONLY by our constitution and form of government. Collectively, one by one let's make a determined decision to join the brave and encourage the us in our day to day encounters to be who we are where we are and to explore the world beyond our comfort level. There's a song we sang often in church when I was a very young child. "Just As I Am". Just as I am is how we originally came here. Let's interrupt those speaking to only divide others from the fold. We are us and we are them. Engage in a conversation with someone who is the least like you. You will likely discover some wonderful things. Maybe a new art form or a fabulous recipe.
