For many years now I have been interested in the relationship between scapegoating violence and a phenomenon known as — or theorized as — “mimetic desire.” French philosopher and academic Rene Girard is widely credited with developing this theory or philosophy. Briefly (and necessarily reductively), mimetic desire theory posits that human beings are by nature social, that we are [...]

The grief is settling in.

Mary Daly speaking at the Feminist Hullaballoo in Santa Fe, NM — June 23, 2007
She was amazing! I remember thinking her wearing of green might have been intentional, consistent with her celebration of the “biophilic” (life loving).

Trauma of remembering the violence, the hate and the degradation that was and is inside my body and mind.
Trauma of knowing that, and living in a world that ridicules, silences and crushes any [...]

From Helen:
Aloha friends and family. [...]
