or to put another way: what are the rituals and symbols we can create that will outlast the US empire (I almost wrote OutKast). Can we create them intentionally or do they emerge organically?
I think both? A lot of them were stolen from us, or we were made to forget, so I think it is a mix of intentional reclamation and deep ancestral memory work that would arise “organically.” But I do think this is a moment our spiritual caregivers need to step forward and start helping us cultivate these rituals and symbols, we will need them to stay the course.
most excellent! F12
it’s a challenge of the multicultural left to share rituals and symbols , to have shared meaning and not just opposition to the mainstream
whereas the empire and its nornativities point to their symbols with ease.
thanks for connecting the systemic social to Buddhist mindfulness
Absolutely, it is vital to our liberation that we create shared meaning, rituals, and symbols!

An exciting piece! Wow! Thank you. I'm considering cross-posting it sometime today. Would that be okay with you, Alexandra?
Absolutely! Thank you! 🙏🏼
