How ya doing tonight, if you were not here last week with myself and Miss Gemynii and Mama Rose, please make sure you go to them back and to see last Tuesday show. And tonight, we have something wonderful for you. We have Olivia Busbee and she is a Aphro clairvoyant poet, and she will be here to give you tonight’s meditation. Hello, Miss Olivia. Hi. Hi, everyone. All right. I just want to let everyone know Miss Olivia value is very low. So if you have any background noise, make sure that you kind of tone it down so you can hear her very well. OK, and that is all for me. And I will let you take it over.Hi, everyone. My name is Olivia Busby. I am a really great friend of Jay’s. We met at Ohio University and tonight I am here to do a communal tarot conversation with you all. So I’m going to start talking about myself. I’m not good at discovering myself. I really don’t know how to do it. But we’ll start with we’ll start with uncontrollable creator, poet, student. I am rooted in the body in the natural world, a clairvoyant and healer, Hank, Carolann, Brian Erikka, everyone. Hi. And so I think I want to start by saying I’m going to be very casual with this is my first time doing anything like this. And I just wanted to be upfront and vulnerable about that. And let’s take it slow and just have a conversation. I want to start with libations so that we can honor our ancestors, honor those who have come before us and honor those who have honor those who are what we are comprised of. Thank you. Thank you.So so, yeah, I want to begin with honoring ancestors, but I want to adopt a kind of like Alexis. Pawling, Gumbs. She wrote a book called Dubh and she writes poems, kind of channel poems. And I wanted to share two of the poems so that we can expand our definition of ancestors.The theme for this month for Women’s History Month is Wonder Working Women. And so I want to expand the definition of ancestors and women to anybody who is a woman who has moved through womanhood in any type of form of womanhood, non womanhood.But however, we have relationship to that identity in those people. I want us to take a moment to honor them. So, Alexis, polling Gumbs has two poems in her book, Dubh, that I want to share. The first one is the poems are written as almost like written to us like and these ancestors are speaking to us. She expands her definition of ancestors to human ancestors, the people who are in our blood, our family, as well as non-human ancestors, the people who are enslaved and weren’t human or whales and coral. And she has one poem that talks about the people who dreamed of the ocean. And I think I wanted to include Alexis because we are talking about Wunder and the idea of looking for something like this. Wonder of like opening your eyes to something. And I think we can open our eyes to all of all of that, all of what we are, if we can expand our definition of all of what made us. And so I will begin with Alexis. We would like it if you wrote us poems. We would like it if you wrote us life long life sentences. We would like it if you broke sentences and gave us more life than you or we were told could be contained. We would like it if you remained. We would like it if you showed up every day.We would like it if you drink water. We would love it if you would turn off your phone. We would sincerely appreciate it if you would stop pretending to be alone. And so with that, I’m going to pull out with libations. It’s usually I have a cup of rice and some water. And so as we do the light as I I’m going to read another poem by Alexis Poing Gums. And while I’m doing that, you can think of. And or write or say out loud a name of an ancestor and feel free to open that up to the coral in the whales and whatever you want, whatever makes you you,
