Sure, Complete, and Whole
In battle, what can be considered home?
As a warrior, can any place you rest
Be your home? A rock, or sand hole,
Can they suffice, lest
You give up your only soul?
When tired, haggard, bloodied, messed
Up hair and drawn skin take their toll,
Can you find solace in your best
To discover your position and role?
When put to the test,
Can you in your spirit dole
Out strength, only fortunate not blessed;
Do you have control?
Once you have found that hill or crest,
It’s your house and home and goal.
To ensure your buddy be a guest
Makes you sure, complete, and whole.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her aunt and uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties passed through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
