i didn’t expect this, but all this personal healing and getting in touch with my body bullshit has been making me more political

i think regularly about what it means to survive now. songs about rural poverty hit different. change in the earth hits different. i feel grief

before, it was like all those things were just a bit abstract to me https://t.co/kx2siYV2eW

i wasn’t the “people” doing things. i didn’t totally know who was there was an “other” kind of person who did those things. somehow it felt like all i did was tinged with personal self-survival. accumulate money, friendships, etc. i couldn’t even properly care about people https://t.co/pFzTdg3fIo

i’m intimately, regularly aware how my life has “enough” in some ways (materially) (and in some ways i don’t— a lack of community and holding still keeps me back, the same way a 9–5 keeps people back for years, sometimes their whole life, staying in place)

i feel more grounded in what “survival” means, and my yes, and what options my reality concretely affords me https://t.co/uCEW3Mv0N5

something about that naturally, intrinsically makes me more political. i feel more intimately the options people have—the lack of them—; the options of what is happening with earth

the same something feels like being a fox, wryly and even-footedly making note of the territory https://t.co/RBe7zCA7nD

i feel more sure of the ground beneath my feet more aware, for the first time. of the bone woman https://t.co/cdtaPqCcKw

people who know bone woman, who know there are songs singing in their bones more ancient than they know, whose notes they can barely hear, but they sense it like a comfortable whisper at their napes

i identify more with the earth. and people around me. and trees. it wasn't a conscious decision. it just happened. the sea around me just feels like "mine". not me, just mine https://t.co/CrWSkywVMT

once again, i think about this image. the pleasure this girl has in some unspoken way for the fruit, and the seasons, and the land that are hers, because she knows them https://t.co/94lU6PEJC6

before, they all felt like "not my problem"? it's funny. i didn't have a strong dividing line of "me", and i also didn't feel any sort of identification with anything or comfort existing anywhere like i was trying my hardest to simply not exist where i was, all the time

there's a natural continuity between my body and the environment around me
