Episode description

"Dancing with my daughter and singing my son to sleep is just as cosmic as a star exploding and expiring in space." - Bayo Akomolafe

In this week's episode  These Times are Urgent, Let Us Slow Down, Amisha takes a deep dive with poet, philosopher, psychologist and professor Bayo Akomolafe into the nature of truth, reality and activism.

Bayo offers observations on how our responses in these urgent times may well perpetuate the crisis we try to escape and what the alternatives might be. He expounds the opportunity that lies in the depths of confusion, the indigenous wisdom found at the heart of quantum physics and how caring for our children is as cosmic as an exploding star.

At the heart of his invitation lies a simple but radical shift of perspective and a new question to walk with, that might lead us to new forms of activism and new ways to serve the times we are living in.

"If you find yourself right all the time, then look around you you are probably alone. To be flawed, wrong, wounded, is to recognise that we are in a world of other beings. We live and thrive and emerge in the orbit of other beings, and that is beautiful and tragic all at once." - Bayo Akomolafe
