I always enjoy reading how you think dear Elliott :-)

Wishing you continued good healing and practice/process.

"You could say that process is housed within practice."

I think my relationship to those things may be the opposite ... process necessitates praxis, different practices for different states of process ... or ... praxis emerges in being present to process. Maybe. Or perhaps praxis and process do not nest but are cocreated, they are forever looping back on themselves, like chiasm in the Merleau-Ponty sense.

(This is my current theoretical obsession and started from here: “The Murmuration of Birds: An Anishinaabe Ontology of Mnidoo-Worlding” by Dolleen Tisawii'ashi Manning, in Feminist Phenomenology Futures, edited by Helen A. Fielding, and Dorothea E. Olkowski, Indiana University Press, 2017.)

oh I love this, Rami!! Thank you for your kind words and for this note, I hope you're well 🩷

The idea of praxis and process as cocreative and chiasmatic really resonates.
