Very touching, plus instructive little summary of a huge topic, Peter. Phrases that stood out to me: "We don’t even have a word for suicide in our languages." and "temporal and the spiritual...intertwined" and "soul infection" and "healing the soul".
Brilliant reasoning, mr. Peter d'Errico! By pealing off well-intentioned but very fuzzy notions, you arrive at "the point where souls meet history." Without losing sight of the specifics.
i suspect that this body of work could be turned into a kind of telecsope
and that telescope could in turn be turned to look at the whole world
because once i saw what was going on
once i saw that the elephant was not an elephant
i became a native of Earth
without rights
or land
or clean water
or a place place to live
or a street i could walk down without hearing
die
die
die
or neighbors
that were not the random leavings
of the wind
on this demon hanted world
wow!
In my bones, I suspected this.
