Proposition # 61 Inheriting Minor Cultures

In my experience, when I was twenty-two or twenty-three, of being in a group with women and telling stories about the things that were worrying us, I remember being so blown away by things that I thought were just me and how other women were saying the same things. That just struck me, how all the meaning in my life until that point had been created by the ... normative stories about the way things are. And I went, that’s all just made up! We could make up anything we like and make that truth, as long as we could live into it ... I think that’s been the story of our family, that this is a family and we will make all the meanings and structures and connections.
