Synchronicity! Been having a backstage discussion past week with a friend on here about the problem that so much analysis or commentary works in enlightenment rationality style of argument and presentation. And how we need to be more subtle. We've also been discussing how challenging but necessary to acknowledge that nothing human is alien to us - we don't stand across a chasm from those who pillage and oppress. I said I'd like to see humour, allegory, and stories like those of *Mullah Nasrudin* used more as we feel-think our way through this moment. This evening, an unexpected phone voice message message - from an old friend who is a Muslim sufi. And then this post from you. I feel comforted in turbulent times. May wisdom break through for us all. We're listening.
I love synchronous happenings - these Muses are usually prompted by three or four independent people raising an idea or concept. I hadn't thought of the Tower of Babel in decades, then three encounters in a week?
