BODY PEACE DIARY

Sacred quotes from Inflamed (Marya & Patel, 2021) to illustrate our interconnection.

I hope thoughtfully and deeply engaging with our bodies feelings and sensations (our body fear) might awaken us to the myth of safety or security in our current economic structures, and the “unavoidable” doom of a future we have no say in.

 “Food systems are often at war with nature” (Kenner & Robledo, 2023, 19:42).

How we are reflected in our food’s behaviours upon exposure to industrial (colonial) practices.

In an effort to propel ourselves towards collective care, I propose we undergo some unique forms of research together.

There is an idea churning in my mind—how plants do not want to harm us. They do not seek to conspire against our well-being, and they will not align with us indefinitely if we misuse them. There will always be dissonance when we engage with them in ways that are out of sync with our nature. But dissonance does not last forever—something always shifts.  

I’m writing today to say I’m angry. Angry that I can’t fix you. Angry that I want to fix you. Angry at the food system, at the ways we are shaped by forces beyond our control. I channeled that anger into creating—digital collages, artistic headers for this website, something tangible from the chaos. It gave form to an idea still finding its shape, and for that, I am proud. Proud of our beauty and hope.
