Fennel in the backyard as the sun sets. (It's taller than I am!)My keen, critical thinking travels with me... I'm a sociologist, anthropologist, feminist as I experience a big city in a new country.
I've been re-reading World As Lover, World As Self by Joanna Macy. She writes, "The institutions of our society co-arise with us. They are not independent structures separate from our inner lives, like some backdrop to our personal dramas. Nor are they merely projections of our own minds. As collective forms of our ignorance, fears, and greed, they acquire their own momentum, enlist our massive obedience, and depend on our collective consent" (43).
They depend on our collective consent.
