Chai
by Nahua
Impact
Che, chi, & chai… all 3 revolutionary.
One fought for human equality. The other stands for equanimity of mind, body & spirit. And the 3rd an equatorial magnet that launched ships from the other side of the globe which Columbused the New World enroute.
In a world of severe disparities & discrepancies, the first sits pretty much dead. The second requires discipline & practice at a time when most have precious little of either, or even time itself, now that society has gone techno-manic.
That leaves chai – highly attainable… the revolution for the masses. Cha-cha. Ciao.
