"What does it mean to be human, at this time, in this country? I believe it means practicing a radical generosity and empathy, especially when it's a struggle. You must look around in the soft darkness of your waking life, which is the partner of your dream life. You must understand that accompanying you always is your animal, primal, complicated, desire-driven, calm but desperate, brutal and brilliant self, blinking and breathing gently in the dark, waiting for you to let in the light."
A beautiful post by Antioch classmate Laura Gardner.
Thank you for sharing this powerful piece…I hesitate to write too much…on ‘holy ground.’
