THE SANKOFA CHRISTIAN

THE SANKOFA CHRISTIAN Luke 9:62 says, "Jesus replied, 'No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'" Reconciliation of this scripture with the Sankofa Bird imagery --of going forward while looking backward--is a big stretch indeed; it evokes Lot's wife who looked back and was transformed into a pillar of salt. But, because we do diametrically opposing things, seemingly, continuously, like inhale and exhale, why not try it? Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keeps the law, happy is he" https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biblegateway.com/passage/%3Fsearch%3DProverbs%2B29%3A18%26version%3DKJV%26interface%3Damp?client=safari Which vision? The past vision or the future vision or both? Is there both? Can there be both? Is there a of quantum entanglement? There is both. There can be both. There has ever been both. There is ever synthesis in antithesis; as otherwise the dichotomy could not be. In negation lies affirmation; as inverse supports converse; and obverse fronts its reverse. In sum, It is as the blues man says, "that same thang!" Thus, in a circle or in a sphere we have come right back here to where we began; to where oh Lord, my God, we first met thee! Still here, but in our minds so far away.
