words are magic

We are all dependent on others to varying degrees. A language that denies this fact fuels a system that obscures the ways in which other people care for us. Words such as independence, self-reliance and self-made help create, and are created by, a dynamic within which people are ignored and devalued. Joan Tronto reminds us that by “not noticing how pervasive and central care is to human life, those who are in positions of power and privilege can continue to ignore and degrade the activities of care and those who give care.”

I’m not interested in competing with anyone. I hope we all make it.

I am in love with every church and mosque and temple and any kind of shrine Because I know it is there That the people say the different names Of the One God
