beautifully written. I especially loved the last thoughts on our engagement through the ages. We engage, just as we were engaged by generations before us. This reminded me of the last notes of Walter Benjamin on the meaning of being engaged in history: "There is a secret agreement between past generations and the present one." Like every generation that preceded us, our time, collectively seen, is also imbued with Messianic power.

Thank you dear Eric! A Happy International Women's Day to you. This is a day for all revolutionaries and anarchists. And thank you for the reference to Benjamin. I will go back to that xxx

Once again your writing is so inspirational. The notion that we must pass our knowledge while genuinely learning from the younger generation's experiences is heartwarming, and for me personally, a call to action to take care of myself and others in intergenerational relationships, romantic or otherwise. Also, great to hear about squats. I really miss those spaces in my life.
