Wow, Beverly, this one is so richly inspirational that it moved me to pay for a subscription. You echo most eloquently what I'm working on now, and you reassure me that it's what needs to be said.
Thanks, Grace. Your warm words and subscription will help support this writing. I'm glad to hear that you're working on similar things. May we swell into a more coherent yet multifaceted movement that's more thoughtful, compassionate, and inclusive than anything we've seen before (and has no fascist or authoritarian tendencies). Hugs your way!
when I spent my years in activism and service during the AIDS terror (and when, as you know, I was working with gay Catholics) I studied also the terror time of slavery, and how the enslaved people recreated themselves as people, free and human, in art and religion (music and lore, performance and possession--as even we needed to find during the AIDS terror). One of the phrases I smelted in that crucible was that faith is a form of knowledge (I would say, requiring all of the disciplines of thought and emotion, instinct and material query, rapture and critical inquiry--and all, all at once). Be well (and with new healing, everyday) my friend, Beverly Naidus as you continue on your journey.
Thank you, Charles. Grateful for your smelting. You reframed theory for me long ago, and now you're reframing faith for me as a form of knowledge. May our epistemologies keep expanding.
That was medicine for me today thank you also Reimagined World is wonderful 💥
If my posts can be medicine for you, I feel very gratified. More to come. The sap is rising.
