“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you”
Carl Jung
One of the biggest distortions I constantly see about ‘embodying the feminine’ is thinking someone else will come and create the life of your dreams.
True feminine embodiment means you’re already living it on whatever scale you’re in. It means you’re literally a creator.
We have a show!!!
"Caged Bird"
10th - 16th Aug
It is an installation we are doing at Munyu Space, The Mall basement in Westlands.
The installation is about collective grief, communal care, and healing.
It is a progressive creation culminating on closing night.
Pull up!!!
True relating requires openness and is more like an improv/ jam session.
However, some people have a script in their mind about what role they want you to play and even when they don’t know you, they get mad when you “go off script.”
Agreed — the compliments and the critiques are still equally from their own understanding and perspective and can change at any time, so best to not be swayed either way.
side note — i believe it’s important to get comfortable with various ideas of you and come to a place of neutrality so there is no fear regarding whatever the image may be.
I cannot stress just how much my friends have saved my life. I certainly wouldn't be here. I would not have tasted love; the truly freeing love; for myself, for life and for the earth. My friends' love taught me somebody doesn't have to fully understand you to love you.
@SeiseBagbo 🤣 wololo. Ironically, after I wrote that poem, I put fluent in Kiswahili on my CV. 😅
Planning for a show soon. I’ll work on my Swahili in the meantime!
I also think what you said about art needing to reflect the current times, beyond just serving as an escape is poignant!

Live Poetry Show Ep by SocraTess
(I left this just yearning for a live poetry thing)
The way Tess says "young man" is so disrespectful it sounds endearing. Say it again.
Bringing in Kiswahili (a bit shaky) and Dholuo (flowed with jest), yes.
