valuing and loving

In Plato, art is mystification because there is the heaven of Ideas; but in the earthly domain all glorification of the earth is true as soon as it is realized. Let people attach value to words, forms, colors, mathematical theorems, physical laws, and athletic prowess; let them accord value to one another in love and friendship, and the objects, the events, and the people immediately have this value; they have it absolutely.

Given our history of racial violence and segregation, we must remember that new policies will always replicate those historical problems until we heal those original wounds. In terms of solving the problems of the racial mess of our criminal justice policies, we need to think about a national truth and reconciliation commission around both the taking of indigenous land and our history of slavery and its vestiges, which persist to this day, primarily in housing, employment, health care, schools, and mass incarceration, to name just a few. We need to have the courage to do that if we’re really going to solve this. That being said, it doesn’t mean we can’t also simultaneously work to end ineffective ways of upholding justice.

Il y a bien plus dans ce monde Que ce qu'on peut y croire Si on le sonde On peut le voir : Il y a des ressentis Immensément précieux Créés au creux du lit Par de très calmes yeux ~ ~ calmes mais qui rient, et qui crient Tout doucement et sacrément Une vérité qui Enchante assurément Il y a ces éloquences Qui ne disent mot ; Ces doux, profonds silences À l'origine du Beau Il y a bien plus dans ce monde Que ce qu'on peut y croire ; Si on le sonde On peut le voir

We inhabit ourselves without valuing ourselves, unable to see that here, now, this very moment is sacred; but once it’s gone – its value is incontestable.
