Valarie Kaur says that Revolutionary Love is the call of our time - a radical, joyful practice that extends in three directions: to others, to our opponents, and to ourselves. It enjoins us to see no stranger but instead look at others and say: You are a part of me I do not yet know. That is exactly how Valarie and i met: two unlikely allies who found one another across time and space and difference. And while it was our suffering that united us, it was our relationship that transformed us. She says of this moment:
“The future is dark. But is this the darkness of the tomb – or the darkness of the womb?”
Resistance alone will not deliver us. We need a love that will give birth to the nation that we all deserve.
