One thing I learned: The Brazilian response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic is a wonderful example of how this book incorporates new topical knowledge (such as the history of the effort) along with real world applications of how the system should be worked with in order to use the resources available to one's disposal within a certain effort. I think this is very relevant to today's social systems and political climates, where we may want a different way of operating, but what we have is more or less all we got. I like the idea of letting things find you as much as you find them. (p. 138)
Something I connected: P. 168 talks about the concept of a cold heaven, where when social justice involves keeping your ideals at a forefront, there are certain aspects of reality you must always address and work with. One of these is money, and money in the social justice sphere shy away from this due to negative connotation, but for now, money is power and ability. In my own internship there is a struggle for funding and renting our spaces to external parties. This involves business talk and sticking up for the church where it may not be considered polite or selfless.
Question: What are some examples of flow and how are they different from than an average productive day?
