Love, Power and Liberation with Angela Davis and Lama Rod Owens

[@shootingstarable]

I was there in person, and just got home and started to rewatch and listen. What a gift, salve, invitation, and portal this is. What a blue-print to wading through these untenable times with such clarity. Where we find our home in radical community. How we need to walk each other to our spiritual deaths, where we let go of the death making machines of white-supremancy, settler-colonial, and racial capitalism and let it die. Because our lives, and living through polycrisis watching these systems let people die because of being too poor, too melanated, too mentally ill, too disabled, too non-christian, too queer, too trans, too immigrant, too indigenous, too anyone who has been deemed unworthy of dignity and preciousness we all have a right to. These are some dark days, and we will be in juicy community with resistance, joy, and practice towards liberation together!

If you haven't seen Angela Davis at this year's Fête de l'Humanité, be sure to see that. Most of it is in English, no worries. She had a smile on her face like I've never seen.

Loving Prentice's questioning annnnd wishing Davis and Owens would go deeper into specifics. I found them a bit to high in the sky, vague, not landing. Just me. Loved seeing them all together like this.

I love the invitation to ask these questions amongst ourselves, in our communities, within the broader sangha. I feel that Dr. Davis' answers pointed to this directly, and this talk amongst our elders lays a pathwork for us to keep asking & keep listening in together. 🙏

Angela wishes us to take a planetary view at this juncture. I deeply agree with her and suggest reading SHIKASTA, and other books from that series, by the late Doris Lessing. They can help with the big view. I really appreciate this discussion and event. ❤

Is there any possibility to get a transcript to make this more accessible?

[@archjoanne]

if you click on "more" above, you will see a place to click for the transcript.

[@KaitlynHatch]

If you click on the description and scroll down there is a link to the transcription. I think it’s the auto-transcript by KZbin so it will have spelling errors and incorrect words.

Mum, sing to the wind; Mum, sing my folk song A dagger’s stab is better than being ruled by a scoundrel Mum, I’m coming back so hide me in your eyes Oh how much anguish and sorrow I have seen in my days My life has passed in so much agony Oh how I wish my chest were a bridge, so you can cross over it And you and I can live a Palestinian life together! Oh mother! What is with the wind? Oh mother! what does it want from me? id rather be hit by daggers than be ruled by a scoundrel and i walked under the rain and the rain quenched my desire and when the summer came t ignited a flame inside me for as long as my life remains it will be a fight for freedom.
