The systems that dominate our world tell us
that our desires are Problematic, and evidence of our badness.
We're taught that desire is dangerous,
because desire is so powerful that structurally oppressive forces
would prefer that we contain, repress, suppress, ignore, and deny them.
But, my darling, I’m here to insist that your desires are key:
to your wellness, to your fulfillment, to your growth,
and also, therefore to your contribution to the collective.
Mentioned:
Make Magic:
I really believe that our collective liberation lies in each of us
- me and you, all of us - being more conscious and more curious about our desires.
We have to acknowledge that Desire is Power.
If we align our desires with our values,
we can begin to use desire as a way of living those values,
and making the world we want to live in.
