I find myself sitting at the feet of my elders—in those moments that make you drop to your knees—my elders who are now part of the land where I scattered their ashes. And when I put my bare feet on that land and lower my head to the ground, I sit with all respect at their feet.
I saw the question posed recently "what are you craving right now?" and the first thing that came to mind was integrated, trustworthy elders. As I get older, I find myself missing my grandparents more. I am gravitating to the work of elder poets who are completely unbothered by the whims of the internet. So I love this a lot.
And YES Bad Bunny! I can't stop thinking about how joyful and generous and (yes Kat Armas!) subversive it was. It was an honor to bear witness.
I'm a health care provider (dietitian) and am grateful for the elders' wisdom that has been remembered, recorded, and shared in the Food is Our Medicine* learning journey I embarked upon 4 years ago. It has been teaching me (and reminding me about things I've forgotten along the way) that food is culture, food is relationships, food is healing, and food is a pathway to reconciliation.
