i just met with sarah about planning some kind of coordinated art community response to the war and attacks. it feels good to talk to her about it because on my own i seem to start questioning the effort to organize such gatherings. it's easy to feel separated from what's happening in the world here, but always with a vague sense of anxiety that i'm not thinking about what is important to be thinking about. i think i might do my comparative politics research paper on something about afghanistan, maybe trying to sort out the relationships between ethnic groups, the taliban, and surrounding countries.
i feel very still, almost sad today. partly, my body, especially my back, is very sore from doing african yesterday (i've been doing some drumming but haven't danced all semester). i've really missed african, so maybe if i can't do higher ground anymore (they're thinking of moving it to a time that i couldn't make) i'll do
