This! This is what I keep saying, but not so succinctly. We don't live in the culture of the '70s. We don't live in the '90s or the '00s, either. Out with what was and in with what is!
That doesn't mean the past was categorically bad or efforts were in vain. It means that they were a stop in Boise (ID) or Paris on a multi-year world tour. Stop trying to turn Hanoi into Columbia (SC). Look around at the good that is here now and at the current opportunities instead of wailing that your favorite food doesn't taste the same in another country.
I love all of your deep thinking and emotional/spiritual labor you’ve done that is so evident in this piece. I’m grateful to join you in these important conversations, as my spirit ponders similar things. And thank you for the podcast shout out!! 💞

I’m really excited to have you, Ruth, and Callie in the in person group. It’s wonderful to have conversation partners.

we’re evolving family.
Love all land as kith.
