I love the “let it move” comment too – not “MOVE OVER, dammit!” (which is often another completely appropriate response) but just: let it go, get out of the way of movement, let whatever resistance you have about giving up power just drop/fall away. Because it’s (probably) hurting you too. It’s a little how I imagine birthing to be: bones, that we think of as stable, *move* – and it’s not a passive process. And then the world changes.

“White liberalism is not an alternative, resistant path. It is a self-indulgent, harmful lie on a wide, paved, mapped highway.

It’s not the center not holding that I’m afraid of. If what holds the center is violence and hierarchy, the fear of its disruption as damage is deception. Let it move. ”

Amen.

I must have gotten worried somewhere along the line that joy in the midst of so much pain and wrong in the world was … what? Ignorant? Dismissive? Selfish?

Impossible?

“To be laughing more, and more joyful, is not to be deluded or in denial.”
Yes. Thank you for saying this. I’ve also been thinking similar thoughts, why am I easily entertained now and laugh quickly?
love,
