Of Our Spiritual Strivings

to reach up and grab it. A person can begin to love the outside world that seems to judge him/her unfairly and to always continue on striving for a better tomorrow.

At times the journey can be rough and fuzzy to which way to proceed. It could be by anger. It could be by contempt and war. In order, to spiritually succeed one must go inner to heal the wounds that has been bestowed on them and chose wisely. Striving for a better experience is one thing on the course of higher learning but striving to love yourself and give love back…even to those that are filled with darkness is everlasting joy.

Du Bois makes another influential statement in towards the end of his essay, he contemplates:

“This, then, is the end of his striving; to be a co-worker in the kingdom of culture, to escape both death and isolation, to husband and use his best powers and his latent genius.”

One day leads to many. It is what you choose to accomplish with the blessed days that matter. As I re-read Du Bois essay, I am completely filled with so many emotions. I admit to the feelings of frustration, regret, contempt but then enlightenment rises in my heart and I chose to read on. I read and discovered that Du Bois was a strong black man in the midst of a blazing fire. I can only image how the journey must have looked weary and fuzzy to find which way to precede. But he did made a choice, he continued on striving for excellence. And so shall I.

And so it is.
