From Eric Peterson.

Patriots day? It is long past time to stop pledging our allegiance to the delusion of the “other.” Whether it is nationalism or speciesism, the process of “othering” is based upon misperception and wrong-relationship, which will be the end of us all if we do not heal this collective woundedness. All of life on Earth is inextricably intertwined through the beautiful web of life, and the harm we do to any “other” comes back to us in a form of self-destruction. Let’s co-create a future where we celebrate days like “reconnection” and “resacralization” instead of the perpetuation of the destruction of the “other.”
