Dear Substack Community: I’ve been sitting with the words of my friend, Báyò Akómoláfé, in his book, These Wilds Beyond Our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity's Search for Home, and in correspondence with him. We embraced the nexus point of a long hello. He will soon be within driving distance of my home, so I plan to gather with him and his family and celebrate the boringness of ideas and the materiality of language. I have finally found a conversation partner that bridges disparate thinkers together in a manner that queers the normativities that govern our world. I am excited! And, I am nourished! My question: what if God is here and now?
What if what we conceive as a transcendent being out there somewhere is part of modernity’s orthodoxy? What if God is here and now? What if?
More on that to come!
Onward, —Dr. Roberto Che Espinoza.
