Thank you so much! I felt nervous posting it because it talks so much about time and memory and is a little bit more disjointed than my usual pieces. I’m glad it’s still resonated.
"But our bodies are time travelers. They hold the weight of what came before. They carry the unspeakable. They pulse with the stories that were never written down but were never lost." I feel this as I read it. It's invoking a somatic sense in me that reaches beyond a cognitive recognition of the way white supremacy and colonialism work on one's soul. Your way of laying this out is so powerful here. Thank you.
Thank you for articulating my experience also; of deep knowing and deep alienation ~ you’ve done so beautifully. And I’m glad to see someone else has noticed the extractive behaviour show up in the microcosm of relation too.
It’s a sad state of affairs, and here’s to loving ourselves and each other as richly as we can amongst the fall.
This is beautifully written, and incredibly powerful. Upgrading to paid. And sharing with my circles.

Thank you for this. It spoke words to what my body knows.
Very beautiful. Very powerful.
