Dear Open,

I my culture we have a phrase that means 'becoming aware of Self or becoming conscious '. Ever since this has happened for me at 16, I have been curiously observing how the external drama related to patriarchy or social hierarchies or casteism in my immediate neighbourhood have very well entrenched systems of thought on the inside. And how despite living In the system, if one stops subscribing to those lines of thought, one almost effortlessly changes ones landscape and becomes a beacon for others.

Finding the Openhand family ( or should I say rediscovering all of you) has meant I am able to become aware and dismantle faster. It's such deep work. Such soul work!

And it's time the world at large or at least those that are ready for it, become conscious of themselves. Who they are. What we are all here for.

It is time, it is time!
