Tolkien was a huge fan of Dante. The Lord of the Rings is basically Frodo going through paradiso, inferno, purgatorio and back to paradiso (and he did it all barefoot, the madlad). The Shire is the garden of eden and the ring is the snake. At the end, the Shire becomes heaven and the book ends because it would be boring for it to go on.
It's the white men who are up in their heads trying to figure this election out. The colonizers are now colonizing themselves in real time. We need to sense our way forward using our hearts and staying grounded in our bodies like hobbits. The contemplative practices are the way the Earth is speaking to us and through us.
Ok, start by going barefoot. Ground yourself like a hobbit, literally. But no, that would make white people look at you like you're crazy, dirty and poor. So are you really against white culture?
Conversations between friends are the real Juice
You're so right. Sorry I'm slow (hurricane)
i think this is what we thought twitter might look like a few years ago, until it started to destroy our hearts
I agree totally. Sorry I'm late, hurricane power issues.
