Falling Apart [SSL157]

Today, I’m reflecting on the stages of grief and the feelings of falling apart that are more common at this stage of the pandemic time of seclusion. I’m inviting us to look to the spiritual insights of our siblings of the American Black Church and the contemplative practices of embodied lament that are a testament to their spiritual nourishment and survival under the horrific institution of slavery and continual mistreatment and injustice endured since the African diaspora of the 1450s. I am reading passages from Barbara A. Holmes powerful work Joy Unspeakable: Contemplative Practices of the Black Church.
