“The role of an artist is to make the revolution irresistable.”

-Toni Cade Bambara

I’m sitting with this quote about irresistable revolution as I reflect on last night’s Faith in Florida meeting.

So many times, I’ve practiced doing from a place of obligation, duty, and shoulds. I wonder what it would look like to experience the delicious taste of being with beloved community—how would the natural feels that come through communing with each other allow for justice to be irresistible? How would the pleasure of friendship and deep, loving relationships revertebrate into the politics we want to have in this county, state, country, world? We create mundos! We are the universe, we make America, all through the micro, tiny interactions we experience everyday. Emergent Strategy by brilliant adrienne maree brown is taking me back to a deep thought on this notion of fractals. What is seen in the microscopic world is also seen in the large constellations and galaxies. What do we want to see at a wide scale—and how are our movement spaces practicing that world that we wish to see out there right here in this moment with these people God has put around us. How are we practicing a world that feels like the world we are wanting to see?
