The Eric that can be named is not the eternal Eric.

May the seeds I plant
bear fruit,
in their season
not mine.
I will tend
and attend,
but I cannot
grow trees.

@alexislearning stunning!

@vividvoid It’s five o’clock somewhere has some daoist resonance

@cognazor Baby trees are cute

Suffering is subordinate. It’s very real, but encompassed by the generative love at the center of all things.

This doesn’t eliminate the hurt, it asks us to face it fully.

@HFreinacht Globally? Internally, the conservatives run together more than progressives. There are too many progressive factions.

Even globally, I think I disagree with this.

@RichDecibels Only the one session and it was earlier this morning, but I was impressed by his thoughtful, intelligent articulation of helpful concepts. For me, we were running down all the ways of thinking about caffeine "addiction" and how to best approach a more moderated engagement

@alexislearning Alex, our conversation was awesome. Appreciate you making this, yourself, available!

“To think of the relation between life and death as lifedeath offers a figure of difference that is not dialectical and yet still remains ambivalent—potentially structured by both nurture and antagonism.” - p49

🧵 A thread on my reactions and favorite quotes reading through Sister Death by @beamarovich (no pressure to like or comment, just excited for the book!)

“… a small gesture toward thinking otherwise.” - Intro, p30

I love this phrase!

The volume of the one that shouts is does not correspond to the truth quotient of what is being shouted.

@omniharmonic Yeast in the dough! #LetItRise

Eternal glory is the deep, whole awareness that LOVE is the gravity and the ground of existence.

@RichDecibels because we can’t quit Starbucks

Unconditional love is undefeated

@HFreinacht Just got The Listening Society in the mail. Excited to read it!

[Eric Hankins @ericlhankins]

@Casebradford Insecure attachments, wounds, repressed vulnerability, etc. probably an overcompensating for some weakness.

Could see your point if that energy unmasks truth but there are certainly layers of reflection needed to get there.

[Eric Hankins @ericlhankins]

@coachnateb I read him as also reaching out to participants in power (Pharisees, tax collectors, etc). It often didn’t work, but the invitation was to healing first in the face of oppression. Your second paragraph is gold.

[Eric Hankins @ericlhankins]

@vividvoid This is right. The more love, the more ache. It clarifies.

[Eric Hankins @ericlhankins]

@vividvoid Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to checking out a bit more long form VV!
