"We must recognize that our crises emerge from clinging too tightly to a single story." --Bayo Akomolafe
They Sang with a Thousand Tongues
This season of turning, things going to ground with the promise of new life to come, has many stories from many cultures. It can be easy to get caught up in the fear of unfamiliar stories making the ones we use to give us hope in the cold and dark of winter. Another frame might serve us better. In this essay by Bayo Akomolafe provides the hopeful frame of many voices harmonizing in a joyous chorus. All the voices, all the stories are necessary and critical. And no single story can carry the tune.
BE THE CHANGE
Ask someone you know to tell you the creation story they hold dear. Then share your dearly held story with them.
