This entry is part of a five-part series on “terrible communities”: 1.
This series was such a gift. And this entry is so real. Uncannily real and beautiful and provocative.
🙏
Agree that this is a valuable series of posts! Bravo ! This one made me think of COMMUNITAS --- a term from Victor Turner and the field of Ritual Studies -- that happens in liminal, non-hierarchical conditions. 😊👏
"I just needed time alone with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind, but couldn't open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity, and honesty
Is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catching up with me
Taking my inner child, I'm fighting for custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my diamond-encrusted piece"
- Kanye West, Power
After the UnStoa diaspora and after a six month search, I found Emergent Commons which had its beginning in Rebel Wisdom.
And The Elephant is lumbering along the timeline carrying many intriguing and beautifully colored birds on its back :)
