1. "I pointed out to you the stars and all you saw was the tip of my finger."

     -African Proverb (via africanstories)

    i feel like this often… in so many ways. :/

    That’s interesting, because there’s a popular saying in Buddhism, do not mistake the finger pointing at the moon for the moon itself. It’s said that truth is like the moon and words are like a finger pointing at the moon, but if you only look at the finger, you miss the moon.

    There’s quite a few Sufi sayings along this line, but the basic one is, “Don’t mistake the container for the thing it contains”.

    Given the Silk Road connection between Africa and Asia, I wouldn’t be surprised that there’s shared wisdom across the path - for example the Ifa divination with the Odu uses the same binary system as the Chinese I-Ching, only differing in the number of divisions being read.

Sobre mí

i'm an earlham college student.
My majors are Spanish and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

I dig activism, community, art, feminism, anti-racism, decolonization, performance, border studies, and positive sexuality.

I like to eat (macaroni and) cheese, falafel, toad in a hole, veggie burgers, pasta, spinach, burritos, and pizza.

I’d like to be a bad-ass teacher one day all up in that radical pedagogy and education as the practice of liberation.
