🌍✨ “The sense of self is porous—it is not limited to our skin, it is a territory.”
Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, rooted in the wisdom of the Yoruba people, invites us to rethink the boundaries of identity. In The Eternal Song, he speaks of the self not as a fixed point but as a living territory—one that flows beyond the skin, intertwining with the land, the stories, and the communities that shape us.
This perspective challenges modern ideas of individuality, reminding us that who we are is porous and deeply entwined with the world around us. Just as rivers carve the land and roots intertwine beneath the soil, our sense of self pulses through the relationships we nurture, the places we inhabit, and the ancestral memory we carry.
Bayo’s reflections urge us to honor this fluidity, to let go of rigid separateness, and to embrace our interconnectedness with Earth and all beings. 💚
