The power of naming is the oldest magic.
In Rumplestiltskin, the girl’s life, her child, her very future are bound by an impossible contract — but the key to breaking it is this: she must learn his name.
The twisted little man who spins straw into gold, has power only as long as he stays unnamed.Once she utters his name aloud, she cracks the spell. She unmakes the shadow’s hold. She names what was hidden — and by doing so, she reclaims her life.
Naming is spell-breaking. Naming is sovereignty. Naming is witness.
There are things to name that many in the world do not want us to name. Naming matters when we talk about genocide. If we don’t name what is happening in Palestine as genocide, as the calculated destruction of a people, we participate in the spell of concealment. We participate in Rumplestiltskin’s dark game. source

Thank you, @gendersauce 🥹🐸 Today, I am giving a 3-hour Reparenting círculo this morning to a group of 30 or so Latine diaspora Spanish-speaking childcare providers and parents and this is the message. Children in colonized cultures are often treated less respectfully because our parents were operating from survival strategies that were adapted from colonial oppression. Their needs were not met, and because of that they could not meet ours. Healing our Inner Niñes is resistance and justice for our lineage.
Beyond grateful that I get to do this work and remind people of their sacredness and their worthiness, as my teachers have taught me to do and to live. (Bring the work to your comunidad 🩷)

"live every day like it's your last": scary. weirdly foreboding. not a good thought process if you get anxious easily. stressful. so much pressure that it loops back around to making you do nothing.
"live every day like it's your FIRST": everything becomes fascinating. renews the excitement of discovering things for the first time again. makes you feel like exploring stuff. #mywisdom source
