Sofia, how do we encultured and encourage rhizomatic thinking in our networks? The push back to remain linear and simplistic is so high. Every week feels like another week of frustrating encounters.
I hear you Bhavana! I definitely hear you! I don't have clean linear answers (lol) because it's a messy and complex road. Between the policrisis, cultural normopathy and numbness, there is a lot of work to do. Paradoxically, it is work that is slow and against the grain of the usual demands and expectations of linear, fast and clean solutions. It takes slow time (actually being an intergenerational endeavor), intimacy, it is messy and there is no triumphant arrival, it takes practice in praxis (finding different collective practices from differing conceptual frames and vice-versa). Modernity harmful extractive demands have a thick imprint on most of us, so unlearning that is certainly a big part of the road. But the anguish and urgency of the current predicament gobbles most of the space to act differently, it dries and screams....
yes! Mainly because acceptance is not a passive role, as it's been labelled by an action oriented extraverted culture. Acceptance is also a deep tissue of unlearning and remembrance.

These words comfort and remind...the drying within, the unscreamed scream and paradoxical slow slow rhizomatic path. Acceptance is so important...
