You had me at "Language is a way of worlding." So much great stuff in this post. I'm going to be thinking about all of it for quite a while. Thank you!
An essential meditation. I always tell my students that philosophy is the care for the whole...
(in a world that sees only parts - even with the best intentions, we part the world, for example Nora Bateson seeing the mother-child part but apparently being blind to the father's role in her metaphor (as far as I can see here). And beyond the father, society, and underground, the Creal, which is our most forgotten yet most vital place.
Enjoyed this very much, thank you. Not sure if you’re familiar with the theory of OOO, objective oriented ontology. I just finished Graham Harman’s book by that title and it might interest you.
Thank you, Jessica, for articulating what I think many of us are struggling with: how do we find our place in a process that cannot be taken 'apart'? I just posted an article centered on this very same inquiry. You and I appear to be in sync! :)
The Nora Bateson image is powerful. As i was reading this 'displacement' came to mind. Displacement is disorienting for mothers...to be ungrounded without tethers like secure homes and schools and food to cook is un natural....birds nesting have much to teach us still...

Very good point.
Or what DW Winnicott said: there is no such thing as an infant. An alone baby is a dead baby.
I would say there is no such thing as Just Mom and baby. Alone mom and baby are also dead, unfed, emotionally scarred. Or traumatized and depressed.
Mother and baby needs not just Dad but the evolved nest Darcia Narvaez researches about.
