“Each time a person stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
~ Robert F. Kennedy, speaking in Capetown, South Africa, June 6, 1966
In the spirit of Independence Day, celebrated in the U.S. yesterday, and linked to an ongoing theme here at Sophia’s Children, I found myself dipping back into some past musings, journal notes, blog posts, and this (and other) insights spoken by Bobby Kennedy arose to share, along with several from his contemporaries, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Thomas Merton.
This very Uranian-Promethean liberation theme continues.
What quotes, insights, or history-bits inspire you when it comes to the themes of independence and liberation — or stirs the heartful daring alive in you?
Jamie has long been an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times. She is the director of a women's health center.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, co-creating a safe, in-person compassionate care environment in a world that increasingly seems to lack that.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the healing power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and healing (or at least understanding) ancestral (and other types of) trauma. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps, and otherwise doing the same day to day things we all do.
