Why seven layers of love? When you want to celebrate our romantic love, why do we insist on also celebrating ancestral-love; revolutionary-love; community and relationship-healing-love, community and relationship building-love? I can hear you. I've heard it before:
"C'mon, Baba can't we have a little escapist-fantasy-love?"
"Sure you can. St. Valentine beacons. His definition of love and his story of love calls to you.
Keep the romance. Keep whispering sweet words and flames of love glowing. Instead of believing that you can only get there via escapist fantasy, try wrapping that heat in the love of our community, our people, our journey to sovereignty.
I know. It seems so counter-intuitive. In an oppressive environment, you have to think that up is down, and down is up.
Nana Amos N. Wilson calls to me. It's his call that I'll answer. You choose.
