In this episode I sit down with blackqueer ethicist, creative, and author, Dr. Elyse Ambrose to discuss mysticism’s role in the everydayness of life. They name mysticism as “an openness to mystery… an orientation to life.”Dr. Ambrose explores the transformative power of truth-telling and the ways in which we mirror one another, naming the ways in which we avoid the difficulty of transformation "in the interest of preserving our comfort.”Dr. Ambrose describes contemplation as a "listening with one’s whole self. That’s attunement through the body, attunement through previous experiences, and being able to integrate all of that.” Bio:Elyse Ambrose, Ph.D. (they/them) is a blackqueer ethicist, creative, and educator, whose research, art and community praxis lie at the intersections of race, sexuality, gender, and spirituality. Ambrose’s forthcoming book, A Living Archive: Embodying a Black Queer Ethics (T&amp;T Clark, Enquiries in Embodiment, Sexuality, and Social Ethics series) centers blackqueerness in constructing communal-based sexual ethics.  Ambrose currently serves as Visiting Assistant Professor of Ethical Leadership and Society at Meadville Lombard Theological School as a Louisville Institute Postdoctoral Fellow. You can find out more about them at elyseambrose.com

"Imagination enables us to find potentiality and to picture a new vision.”How might imagination change the way you approach environmental justice and all of its intersections?//There is no scarcity. There is no shortage. No lack of love, of compassion, of joy in the world. There is enough. There is more than enough.Only fear and greed make us think otherwise.No one need starve. There is enough land and enough food. No one need die of thirst. There is enough water. No one need live without mercy. There is no end to grace. We are all instruments of grace. The more we give it, the more we share it, the more we use it, the more God makes. There is no scarcity of love. There is plenty. And always more.-Remnants: A Memoir of Spirit, Activism, and Mothering by Rosemarie Freeney Harding &amp; Rachel Elizabeth Harding//This episode was written and recorded by Dr. Elyse Ambrose.
