I often think of my work through the lens of world building, but realize through your writing that it is also place making. The difference btwn the two to me is that world building invites escape while place making commands presence. The authorship of both honor our agency and inner divinity - God created a world and places - which is revolutionary in a society designed to suppress these characteristics.
Thank you also for sharing the Mothers of Gynecology monument. I sadly wasn’t able to visit when I traveled to Montgomery a couple years ago. Makes me think of the broader RJ movement as a call to a form of place making as well, within our bodies
