Grandcestral Wisdom from Baba Kamau

Teachings, reflections and truths from the Quiet Warrior.

Our lack of having proper context can be compared to lack of gravity. Like gravity, context helps to keep one in the proper orbit and grounded in reality relative to everything else within and outside the orbit.
— Baba Kamau Kambon
