For The Wild - SLOW STUDY： Bayo Akomolafe's We Will Dance With Mountains： Into the Cracks!

00:00:00.000 quote not everything has returned the way we once recognized them

00:00:10.220 not even ourselves there is a jarring chord of failure perhaps now amplified that innervates

00:00:17.760 our once cheery song of things perhaps now more than before our optimism seemed cruel

00:00:24.460 our post-colonial hopes dashed, our efforts for justice tinged with cynicism.

00:00:31.480 It seems like things want to fall apart, seems like we've been stolen from home.

00:00:37.640 Where do you go when things fall apart, when home has been taken away from you,

00:00:43.200 when the cracks appear? End quote. This delightful inquiry is brought to us by no other than beloved

00:00:52.400 philosopher, psychologist, professor, and poet, Bayo Okomalafe. For the Wild first spoke with

00:01:00.120 Bayo in January of 2020, just before the world as we knew it would begin to fervently wind and

00:01:07.280 unwind. We've cherished Bayo's challenging thought process ever since, and no For the Wild

00:01:13.280 listeners feel the same. If you'd like to delve deeper into Bayo's course, For the Wild is hosting

00:01:19.440 a condensed version of Bayo's course on post-activism,

00:01:23.060 We Will Dance with the Mountains into the Cracks.

00:01:28.920 teachings by revered guest teachers,
