Mapping Black Madonna – Friends


The Black Madonna of Częstochowa, Poland

People, friends who come through for you in your hour of need. Who offer their help when you don’t even ask.

Friends who are genuine in their offers of helps and support.

Mutual Aid.

Like the friends who came to my rescue when I needed to move house on very short notice members little money in the bank.

These friends helped me move. And you know who you are. We became a 3 car convoy, back and forth from the old flat to the new flat, all in a few hours.

It was such a god(dess) sen. It was Black Madonna providing in my time of need. She moved with us, carrying each box or suitcase or plant.

Already, just a few pages in, and I feel that this is going to shift my practice along even further down this path of refusal, stealing my body away through liberatory practices and beings.
