Words from Light in the Dark by Gloria Anzaldua

Revising Reality

Rumbling Agony [Ecstasy]

What are we? emerged out of conversations with a group of friends. Inspired by the following quote by Fiona Kumari Campbell (2013), " A relational, counter‐ ableist version of impairment might explore what the experience of impairment produces and ask how does disability productively colour our lives?". Through sharing our lived experience of disability & chronic illness - and how an animist lens might assist in blurring the pathological categorisation that occurs in the ableist society we inhabit - rich conversations emerged. Having a digital space to share asynchronously allowed for imaginative threads to diffract, coalesse and weave themselves in our lovingly tended digital space. The spoken word piece was a riff - an improvised response in this thick conversational thread. The music emerged during the same time period and the two were merged to create the piece. A random visit from a friend, Ilona McGavock, developed into the gorgeous violin arrangements that form the piece.

RU12: Writer Craig VI Slee on Cripkult: disability, philosophy, myth, magic & storytelling

My mum passed away just before Thanksgiving last year. Today (Sep 21st) would have been her birthday. She was the most unconditionally loving, and selfless soul I have ever known. 

This song is for you mum. I miss you so very much. I would give anything to have just another day with you.

We Think We Have Time

We Think We Have Time (For Mum)

🔹 Welcoming you to come gather around this Altar of Sound…

Come and gather now dear friend:  take off your shoes, dig your toes in the fertile Earth, heart and head in the direction of the Sun, prostrating cells & souls to the Great Mystery…Let’s gather dear siblings and strangers:  so that we can make Sanctuary of our wounds, our losses, pay homage to the paradoxes, to the divine chaos, to the dismantling, honouring the seedlings of the entirely new, however fragile and tender they may reveal themselves to us…

🔹 This tapestry of music was born from the chaotic-crack and potent-portal that is 2020, revealing deep caverns of fragility, attention demanding wounds, complex landscapes haunting our minds & souls, invitations to see and feel the world anew…

The weavings of this mix have been deeply inspired by Bayo Akomolafe’s slippery-shape-shifting offering of “Making Sanctuary”:  What is “Making Santuary”?  It begins with a crack, with getting lost, allowing us to be humble, and fall down upon to the Earth…it’s learning to ask questions, learning to listen…to “Be a Becoming, not just a Being”…to “loose the colonization of normal—to meet the world anew”…it is ripe with failures, with comings and goings, but with a potent invitation to stay present in this place of brokenness…”destruction folds into creation”…Thank you Bayo for this generous mapping.

🔹 In this Ceremony of Sound, may you baptize yourself with the sanctified soul-music of hip-hop, dub, funk, gospel, house, jazz, and for music of which there are no genres:  I bow with my life to the roots and spirit of soul-music, the living human-altar and testament to Making Sanctuary…I bow to all the seen and unseen forces that have brought all the shades of Soul Music to this worldly dimension…Without it, we would be surely lost…I would certainly be lost:  thank you Godfathers and Godmothers of Hip-Hop, Soul & House for all of your sacrifices, prayers and creations…May this compass of beauty and empowerment never die, may it’s spirit bring fertility and freedom for generations to come.


Deep bows to Bayo’s Sanctuary-satsang (time 8:30) and Joanna Macy’s potent prophetic transmission, ushering in grief, grit and grace (time 3:29:30):  this mix is sandwiched by their words and message for a reason.

🔹May this coming Epoch on the Planet be one of embodied warriors shining radical tenderness and love to all that is lost…May we continue to bathe in Mystery.
