Michael Meade speaks about longing and the soul. In the current condition of the world, because of fear and an excess of identity politics, our natural longing becomes reduced. Our longing comes from a speck of eternity set within the soul and because the longing is part of something divine, it is also something other than us. In light of the immigrant ban and the intensification of the fear of the “other”, Meade describes how the “other” always represents an otherness within ourselves that is trying to awaken. Because the human soul longs to grow a bigger life and become more diverse, the longing and the sense of otherness go together. |
