Note: 

I’m still holding on to Grace Lee Boggs’s words via adrienne maree brownEach one of us is an individual practice ground for what the whole can or cannot do, will or will not do. I’m completing another journey round the sun/the groove of looking at what people (and countries)  are doing as what they are practising. Not a badly done version of something else.
