“If what passes as courage is summoned at the necessity of conflicts invoked by ghosts in our language and descriptions… that is not courage. And if true authenticity happens only in rebellion to cultures too toxic to survive, let alone celebrate, how then is this authenticity?

Our courage must be bolder than battle. It must be more bold, even, than peace. In agreement we may reach beyond the stark and limp confines our cultures and history demand our service to.

Our nature is transentience, and this involves all of nature, and ways of being human which vastly outstrip anything on offer to the famous, the wealthy, or even the immortal. Our nature is beyond anything anyone has ever shown us.

And if we are to become authentic, we must together discover, explore, establish and protect this undiscovered and forbidden nature. Now. In the living places of the world, our families, our lineages, and our species. We cannot afford any other option and any other kind of courage seems to me a desperate shame, and, perhaps, a sham as well.”
