History

History is not just about digging through archives, it is also for what others have chosen to remember, and not "forget," buried alive in memory.

History cannot be changed but it can be rewritten.

But history is not just about digging through archives, it is also for what others have chosen to remember, and not "forget," buried alive in memory.

Sifting through archives and memories to tell the truth, not hide or distort it...

It is not just about social movements, it also includes individual memory.

What is needed, now

It was not perfection that was needed.

It was kindness, towards oneself and toward the world beyond the ego-self.

Acts of kindness in the moment, not blame, not self-mortification.


The journey is to discover and cultivate the kindness within ourselves, as it is not self-evident for most of us.
