Radical Hope

Radical Hope

3 Questions:

·      * How can you “free” someone when their oppression is linked to their body? Even for only a little while

·      * Could the world at large benefit from becoming “fluent in silence”? The nuances of silence, different types of silence. Know the silence within ourselves. “A silence of three parts.”

·      * How can we help people to lower their defenses?

3 Observations:

·      * Think beyond the short term, remember the positive

·      * First and foremost we need to feel

      - Working through contradictory emotions is no a part of our society, where society leaves off we must take up

·      * Vulnerability is the precondition to contact

·      * The quintessential American narrative is the quest for home, but that doesn’t just mean shelter, it means intimacy and love

·      * If your community is no further then your injury, then no agency is possible

What might be your vision for radical hope?

·      * Guided yoga? Which values silence, the body, the voice, and cosmic consciousness outside the body. Becoming vulnerable within ones own body and outside of the body.
