We have labored under the notion that we are not enough, that when we speak of subtle worlds, invisible landscapes and a sacred activism, we speak nonsense. We have assumed that there is only one way to be in the world – and that way is certain, self-evident and without alternatives, at least to sane, healthy people. We have tried to adopt the language and assumptions of development and progress, to force our eyes to see food as the product of the marketplace, instead of gift; our dreams for meaningful work as empty, if not bottom-lined by the motivation to make money. But there are rumors of ancient futures, and we are beginning to see how this monoculture of mind no longer serves the diversity and expansiveness of human and other-than-human beings; we are seeing how the one usurped the many. We are seeing – like you are – that growth is not enough. - Bayo Akomolafe
