“African tradition deals with life as an experience to be lived. In many respects, it is much like the Eastern philosophies in that we see ourselves as a part of a life force; we are joined, for instance, to the air, to the earth. We are part of the whole-life process. We live in accordance with, in a kind of correspondence with the rest of the world as a whole. And therefore living becomes an experience, rather than a problem, no matter how bad or how painful it may be.” WorldKindMayMatterPhilosophyWholeProblemEarthForceProcessDealsAirTraditionPainfulWhole LifeInstanceOnenessEasternCorrespondenceEastern Philosophy Book:Conversations with Audre Lorde Source: Conversations with Audre Lorde
