"Dancing with my daughter and
singing my son to sleep is just as cosmic as a star exploding and
expiring in space." - Bayo Akomolafe
In
this week's episode These Times are Urgent, Let Us Slow
Down, Amisha takes a deep dive with poet,
philosopher, psychologist and professor Bayo Akomolafe into the
nature of truth, reality and activism.
Bayo offers observations on how
our responses in these urgent times may well perpetuate the crisis
we try to escape and what the alternatives might be. He expounds
the opportunity that lies in the depths of confusion, the
indigenous wisdom found at the heart of quantum physics and how
caring for our children is as cosmic as an exploding
star.
At
the heart of his invitation lies a simple but radical shift of
perspective and a new question to walk with, that might lead us to
new forms of activism and new ways to serve the times we are living
in.
"If
you find yourself right all the time, then look around you you are
probably alone. To be flawed, wrong, wounded, is to recognise that
we are in a world of other beings. We live and thrive and emerge in
the orbit of other beings, and that is beautiful and tragic all at
once." - Bayo Akomolafe
