radical love (a winter love study hall)
I’m not sure whether it was via bell hooks or Loretta J. Ross, that I first heard about (more like felt) the notion radical love. Love as a foundational and transformational basis for being. For living. For each action we take.
Responsibility, accountability — living interdependence as the path to full self-expression — radical love makes this possible.
Otherwise, it’s at best petty squabbling. And we get to see the worst and everything in between daily. Some of us getting hit harder than others.
why not radical love?
It’s not a bubble gum sweet fantasy, this sh*t is serious. I’m not saying it can’t be wildly fun… It’s everything. Or, I imagine it is (because I am nowhere near embodying radical love — I’m kind of squeaking open a door here)…even though I have little from personal lived experience to share with you - for this Friday’s winter love study hall, I did want to ask: what would you propose instead?
To attend this winter love study hall on Friday 04-Mar from 5:30-6:15pm EST,
There’s nothing you need to do to prepare for winter love study hall, though you may feel inspired to pull out your favorite texts about love in advance of us getting together, and that’s cool too. Either way, it’ll be great to hang out with you and talk about love.
Hope to see you there,
—Alex
