multilingualfuturesNot to brag💅, but I spend almost all of my time with folks in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, and it's f'n metal🤘. 13/10 would recommend. I often say that my most meaningful learning started after I got my PhD, when I was so craving the chance to learn about life, existence, and broader ways of knowing. I intentionally learned from spiritual teachers, but less intentionally began doing fieldwork with elders of several nations.
We all know that elder women will tell you to stay away from m^n at all costs, but beyond that, they move through their days guided by an internal sense of value and intention, and relate nothing to the judgements of other people. It's the lack of fear that opens up an enormous space for love.
