Discovery is not recovery; putting the pieces back together is the recovery. Hmm. I'm not so sure anymore. It helps my process (the one where I try making sense of things) to consider systems as they relate on a spectrum. To recognize how a single person or home/family system is a microcosm of much larger societal structures, even playing out a massive scale, of our world as a whole. Privilege and Oppression, how they intersect, exist in all on a spectrum. I appreciate how Adrienne Maree Brown relates to this in  fractals :  " in emergence, the whole is a mirror of the parts.  fractal  – the health of the cell is the health of the species and the planet." This makes sense to me how "recovery" isn't actually a thing. Discovery is not only NOT recovery, but I no longer believe recovery actually exists. Not in a person, not in a community, not in a society nor the world over.  Recovery feels like there is something to return to, a "good ol' days"
