David writes those names I think of powerful force fields. And Elizabeth’s
call I think is to look at discourses of peace as radical practices that go
beyond the reactionary to the ‘proactionary’ just to completely make up a
new word ;)
I’m reminded of Audre Lorde’s words about difference between women in her
paper A Masters Tools will Never Dismantle the Master House.
“Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary
polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic... Only
within that interdependency of difference strengths, acknowledged and
equal, can the power to seek new ways of being in the world generate, as
well as the courage and sustenance to act where there are no charters.
Within the interdependence of mutual (nondominant) differences lies that
security which enables us to descend into the chaos of knowledge and return
with true visions of our future, along with the concomitant power to effect
those changes which can bring that future into being. Difference is that
raw and powerful connection from which our personal power is forged.”
I’m interested in descending into the chaos of knowledge to see what is
being made and what we can make in place of the masters old tools. If we
talk to and about him too much, he sits again comfortably at the centre,
his house intact.
Thanks for the invite!
