Renoncer à la puissance : la condition d’une sortie durable de la crise biocidaire
Une solution durable paraît difficilement compatible avec le maintien des logiques de puissance militarisée, extractive et hégémonique. Le corpus converge ici : la crise est structurelle, la puissance aggrave les risques existentiels, et la rupture doit être politique autant que matérielle. #ClimateJustice #Degrowth #Disarmament #Commons #Peacebuilding L’idée centrale est simple : il…

Entrer dans l’étape du gel : la condition politique d’une sortie de la logique de guerre
Avant le désarmement, il faut rendre possible le gel : cessez-le-feu, sécurisation, désescalade, neutralisation des moteurs de guerre et réallocation vers les communs. Le vrai enjeu n’est pas seulement d’arrêter les armes, mais de sortir de l’obligation de puissance. #Degrowth #Disarmament #Peacebuilding #Commons #Transition Entrer dans l’étape du gel, c’est déjà rompre avec l’idée…

Tutelle ONU, désarmement et décroissance : organiser la sortie de la dépendance militaro-capitaliste
La tutelle ONU n’a de sens que comme sas de transition : geler la guerre, alléger l’appareil militaire, réallouer les moyens vers les communs et décroître hors de la logique de puissance. L’enjeu n’est pas de mieux gérer la violence, mais de s’en déconnecter. #Degrowth #Disarmament #Commons #UN #Transition #Peacebuilding Du principe aux étapes Si l’on veut rendre…

For Nelson (May 16, 1944-July 13, 2005)
If I would have my life to live over again,
I would find an old stone wall in disrepair
and I would spend my days seeking the tumbled
down stones hidden in the grass.By day I would rebuild the wall. At night I
would lie in its lee. I would not be afraid
of the snakes and rodents disturbed from
their dark places in the cracks between the
stones where they sleep.And when my life came to an end and the wall
was as yet unfinished, I would not moan. I
would lay myself down against the rocks and
let my body fade away into a place of rest in
the cracks between the stones.March 11, 2005
(Reposted on the anniversary of my dear friend’s passing)

A Day for the World to Say Sorry
From Australia’s National Sorry Day Toward an International Day of Truth, Repentance, and Repair
A PeaceGrooves Reflection
There are words so overused that they risk becoming weightless. Sorry is one of them. We say it when we bump into someone in a hallway, when we answer an email too late, when we make an insignificant mistake. Yet there are times when sorry is not small at all. There are wounds so deep, so deliberately inflicted, and so long denied that the speaking of sorrow becomes an act of public truth.
Australia’s National Sorry Day, observed each year on May 26, is such a day. It remembers the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families, communities, languages, and cultures under government policies now associated with the Stolen Generations. The date marks the anniversary of the 1997 tabling of the Bringing Them Home report, the landmark national inquiry that gathered testimony from survivors and documented the devastation caused by these removals. The report called not only for recognition of what had happened, but for apology, healing, reparations, family reunion, access to records, and measures ensuring such violations would never recur.
National Sorry Day did not begin as a sentimental holiday….

Opinions
They stare at me, scowling,
as I state my opinion.
Are they right? No.
Is their opinion greater than mine? No.
We all see in a different light.
So why do I feel like I am
wrong, tremble, and am still,
rather than hear their
contrary view?
I will speak
and so will they
and together we will
realize the brighter day.
