Who will produce hail
She was asked to offer to have many people
They said Rain's life will never be hot, ever
Rain does not fall singly
I was born in multitude
I will never be lonely
- Holy Odu IrosunOturupon

They say misery loves company and it's lonely at the top. It is precisely these attitudes that help to limit our ability to build healthy and supportive communities. Instead of problem-solving, we tend to complain. Instead of collaborating with like-minded people and groups, we tend to isolate ourselves. Fortunately, Ifa's teachings help to align us with the original perspectives and intentions of the Irunmole. In the verse above, for example, Orunmila affirms our ability to claim good company in multitudes. This teaching, like many others, defies the narrative of loneliness and isolation. But don't take my word for it. Take the 30 Day Never Lonely Challenge. Every morning, first thing, recite this prayer:


"Rain does not fall singly. I was born in multitude. I will never be lonely. Ifa, surround me with good people. Ori, as I become more successful, reach out to other successful people. My feet, please carry me to the place where there are good people. ASE!"

Blessed Sunday!

Peace, Babalawo Obafemi!

Something in my spirit called me to memorize this prayer, when I first saw the post. And so I did so, and recited it everyday. It really helped May be my most successful month of 2015, thus far. It raised my self-esteem, strengthened my faith and connection in my ancestors and the universe and gave me a sense of calmness if I began to freak out about any little detail of life. AND it helped me with my mental sharpness, as far as memorization goes.

This will forever be a prayer a part of the many that I have kept within my mind and soul since I was born. Thank you for this challenge!
