#5: the other side…Portugal
This episode was recorded on May 4, the day after reading about the possibility of Roe v Wade being overturned, feeling despair, coming out on the other side of it, and wanting to share that journey.
I don't know what the other side of despair is called but there is hope in it.
It all begins, as many things do, with colonization - stories of encounters in Portugal, with the shadow of India, the origins of tea time, and an invitation to reflect on how you have changed and from that place of change, to choose a true response to injustice.
And a poem in English & French about finding your own song by the sea.
