## Metadata - Author: [[Alexis Pauline Gumbs and adrienne maree brown]] - Full Title: Undrowned - Category: #books ## Highlights - Sometimes you do have to make your own whirlpool, redirect the waters, initiate a spiral of momentum that can displace whole governments. And I respect that. Respect and love for those who thrive in narrow places, the in-between spaces of change. Gratitude to those who have made movement their method, upheaval their home. And who, without even a whistle, know when to get in line, when to make a circle, when to spin the ocean. And know it with the drum of their whole bodies.

And thank you for your willingness to churn the waters up. Alone you are an acrobat, the bravest of survivors. Together though, we show the ocean the edge of itself, show the tide the turn within us. Thrash a language out of action. Get fluent, loved ones. Watch our bodies. We speak change.

I would brighten what’s between us, filter nourishing possibilities. I would swallow worlds of yes. I would. I would open wide in trust and transformation.
