RE: You Gotta Dread Your Heart Before Your Dread Your Head: Lily's Dready Journey Explained
Oh, @lily-da-vine! What a fantastic post. Your gorgeous strawberry-n-cream dreads, and your really thoughtful explanation behind them. Loved, and Resteemed it.
I came up with the quote on the coffee cup you mentioned -- about our hair being a daily practice of allowing what is -- because that's exactly what I live through! I am not in control of it. My hair is quite anarchistic, lol
The cup is one of my very few and precious items here with me from Chicago, and is actually marketing swag for SativaYoga. It warms my heart that it stood out to you in the way you described. Thanks for sharing that. :-)
There's another design you might like, too. It says: "My hair is an OUTER DISPLAY of my INNER ARRAY."
Afros come with lotsa stares and stigma, too... especially in a mono-haired place like Mexico, where nearly every female head has long, dark, straight hair. Here's to having the confidence to be who we are.
I've always liked big hair, for whatever reason. One of my best friends in school was the only one with enough balls to rock an afro, and it was cool. I like the girls with the big fluffy puffs for hair, although it seems like it'd be hard to maintain haha.
I like the second one you shared with me, cause it rings true too. I think that's part of why I'm not to focused on making them look perfect, I'm not perfect.
What was sativa yoga? It sounds interesting! It's funny that cup is a keepsake, just because when I think of my mental image of you that cup is usually nearby. You rock your curls and I think you'd honestly look strange without em. :D
Water, or tequila. Always seem to have at least one of 'em with me... in that cup, lol
What is SativaYoga? It's restorative media for ungovernable minds, made to help people cultivate their inner lives, and liberate their outer lives. This explains more about it:
