Beasts of the Southern Wild

Not so much an entry, but want to capture some quotes from this movie that I just watched.  I may come back to some of these later:

  • The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece... the entire universe will get busted. 
  • Sometimes you can break something so bad, that it can't get put back together.
  • When you're small, you gotta fix what you can.
  • When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me flying around in invisible pieces. Everybody loses the thing that made them. It's even how it's supposed to be in nature. The brave men stay and watch it happen, they don't run. 
  • As I stand by the bayou, I watch a ship as she disappears. There, she is gone. And we cry for this. But she's not gone. She is just as real as when she left me. And somewhere else, other voices are calling out: "Here she comes." And that is dying. Here she comes!
  • I see that I am a little piece of a big, big universe, and that makes things right.
  • The scientists of the future, they're gonna find it all. They gonna know, once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub.

And that says it all.

Meet your guides: Sergio : Born and raised in Mexico, now living in the US, I've navigated the academic and professional worlds across borders, earning a Mexican JD, a UK LLM, two  US   master’s degrees in Integral Counseling and East-West Psychology, and a Ph.D. in East-West Psychology at CIIS, focused on developing an integral blueprint for training psychedelic-assisted therapists. My journey has led me to become a core faculty member at CIIS' Integral Counseling Psychology, AMPYDET's Transpersonal Master’s degree program, Protocol Q's Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy training in Mexico, and serve as a mentor in CIIS' Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research certificate program.

  When sh*t is about to hit the fan… Things don’t look good. It’s getting harder to be an optimist. It doesn’t matter if you are liberal, conservative, man, woman, old, young, even wealthy or poor — there is a sense that we’re moving through dark times. Worse, it seems to be hitting us from every direction: health, safety, economy, relationships, ecology… Of course, not everyone agrees. Pinker ( Our Better Angels and Enlightenment Now ), Rosling ( Factfulness ), and Norberg ( Progress ) argue that — contrary to what our brains (and the media) want us to believe — we are living in the safest, healthiest, most educated, and most prosperous times in human history. Then again, plenty argue the opposite. Graeber & Wengrow ( The Dawn of Everything ), Hickel ( The Divide ), and Mann & Wainwright ( Climate Leviathan ) claim that inequality, ecological collapse, autocratization, war, and mental health crises put humanity at risk. I am not a global trends analyst but a psychothera...
