Injunuity: A resurgence of wisdom from the vanquished

3/31/2014

A lot of what America wants us to do is to not live inside of ourselves, to not be who we are...But if we just stop and really focus on the wisdom that lies inside of us, and couple that with the true history of the US, then I think that will actually lead us to a different space.  A lot of movement...change and revolution will happen from that space.
--Injunuity
Picture"Tear" Honold 2014
Revolution means "coming around," or "turning back", almost always towards justice, even if those aims are not met.  It is an attempt to repair a tear in the social fabric.  But it seems all revolutions fail; they become absorbed in themselves or reabsorbed by those towards whom the revolution had been directed.  Perhaps [r]evolution is something different: a twining of strands that are compassionate enough to survive together.  It is a question of values.  As we look at the world with new eyes we can see these strands, these values--and begin to weave them together.   It is a great and sad irony that Native American culture offers us rich and powerful threads to weave our way out of dystopic economics, and social and ecological collapse brought about by western extractive/accumulative civilization.  Injunuity offers us an artful entrance into that culture.
                                                                                                                                                                                   ***
Be in a good way with everything and everything you need will be provided you.  But the moment you start taking and not giving back...taking without ceremony and without prayer, that's when it all starts falling apart, your world starts crumbling...
