“Our truth is not a ‘being,’ but a ‘staying’ here, in this place, with this hunger, and with this hope.”
~ Rodolfo Kusch, from Indigenous and Popular Thinking in America

This quote suggest that our identity isn’t a trophy we win at the end of a career, but rather the way we occupy the space we are currently in. It is a bit of an intellectual pivot, moving from “What am I?” to “How do I belong here?”
