"On one level, I think I have lost 'you' only to discover that 'I' have gone missing as well."
The city of Montreal has declared Dec 6 a Day of Remembrance, in order to mark the tragic events of Dec 6, 1989.
"When we lose certain people. . . we may simply feel that we are undergoing something temporary, that mourning will be over and some restoration of prior order will be achieved. But maybe when we undergo what we do [in mourning], something about who we are is revealed, something that delineates the ties we have to others, that shows us that these ties constitute what we are, ties or bonds that compose us." -- Judith Butler, Precarious Lives.
C'est le 6 décembre. Je me souviens.
"We are the ones who have to make this word designate a loving relationship, ranging from the most private aspects of our lives to a political ethics that refuses to sacrifice desire for death, power, or money." -- Luce Irigaray, I Love To You.
Let us strive for a better world together. Peace.
