Greetings all. Yes, I think I said that when you are traumatized the temptation is to live in a wilderness of speculative fear rather than in the concrete and embodied present. Somethin like ‘at.
I believe it had to do with the mindset that tends to come from growing up in an abusive context - the part that follows us into adulthood. I think “willed habitation of one’s own body” is the recovery mindset for that predicament. I would have loved hearing more from y’all. I’m interested in Chris’s Underground Railroad thang. I have a little piece of art (a doodle honestly) that evolved from a Harriet Tubman quote I became aware of after the fact of the doodle, so I amended it a little.
This was church. It was so good for me.
Some notes:
-“A willed habitation of one’s own body.” (Good theology. Good politics.)
-Can I make water from thirst?
-Can I make bread from hunger?
-“Speculative fear wilderness.”
-The world is not a disposable ladder to heaven.
Is "speculative fear wilderness" something Greg said?
I thought it was you quoting him from another essay maybe?
I'll ask him. We'll get to the bottom of this. We'll get to the bottom of this speculative fear wilderness.

I’m planning to attend and excited about it
Thanks for the invite
“Hinges and a lock”. That was powerful. Sorry I can’t be there. Thank you for sharing.
