What is it of freedom that you fear?
conscientizacao: learning to perceive social, political, and economic contradictions, and to take action against the oppressive elements of reality (Freire).
We must be able to look at ourselves as on paper, or in a mirror, to understand the implications of our arguments, the ways we move through the world, the lives we affect through the ways we move, all to develop a sensitivity to one another, to act not in fear of but in love of.
when you privilege an ideology over another human being
Why stomp on the seeds pre-tree?
Deprive “others” from shade
Folks you’ve never met.
Who are you to say
They need the sun?
There is no hope
in the faithless. No faith
in the uniform: clothes,
bodies, ideas. No faith
in the hopeless who flee
from a God who says,
“You do not fit
My truth.”
