As always, beautifully written work. I always immerse myself in you writing. But this week, the following passage really spoke to me

an explosion of perspective,
a kaleidoscope of thought

I have been reading about philosophy as a way of life (a book by Pierre Hadot) and how there is this idea of getting to a place to where you see life from above, removed from everyday dealings and worries. It was a Greek spiritual/philosophical exercise. But through African philosophy, the opposite is needed. It tries to immerse the philosopher in the interconnectedness of daily life, with people around you. Your passage, the explosion of perspective, almost like the image of the kaleidoscope illustrates this so beautifully. It feels like that explosion, a rupture almost. A bursting from the seams, and then just the flood of colour, smells, tastes... One might say a sensorial overload - but in a good way.

Sorry about the long comment, it might not even be what you had in mind! But those words just stood out to me this morning because of the research I am doing at the moment.

Have a wonderful week!
