I always pictured myself in the late 40s after WW2-50's...don't know why,perhaps its the idea of a slower pace world. Perhaps, I just want to wear the little hats and gloves...
I believe I was born in century whole hearty. I can't stand this digital world, I don't fit in. I don't belong here in this time. I don't even relate to people my own age. The one I do relate to started dying off in the 1980s and they were in were in their 60s, 70s, and 80s then
@bijouxbroussard I spend time in personal self-inquiry to identify and examine my own unconscious biases and fears, as of late.
Proly fuled by talking with you Bij.
Understanding my own "whiteness" and the privilege that comes with it is a crucial part of the process I'm discovering.
What I do know is that...my whiteness includes no "fragility " such as fear or even guilt for I know that I, regardless of my hearts intent am unable to solve the problem of racism.
How can I ever understand...comprehend that which you or your people before you have experienced....
That...effects me. My heart.
Learning about you. Sharing screens with you....I can't begin to list all that I've learned. Wisdom. Poise. Intellectual wellness.....
But getting a grip upon some of the experience that created those values you've gifted me....
I cant.
What I am grateful for however is that you're a part of my learning, unlearning and commitment to truly sharing your space.
