I love the gradual nature of this journey, I love how these dreads-to-be are uniquely mine. I’ve been thinking about the divisive concept of “cultural appropriation” lately (I’ve thought about it before, since I had my first set of dreads 10 years ago). But on this natural freeform journey, I’ve realized: “cultural appropriation” is a marxist concept which fails to take into account how very many cultures have borrowed from each other over thousands of years years. *By contrast*, my hair locking up is something that it does 100% on its own, naturally, by my body’s own divine intelligence. How can I be “stealing” something, when my body is merely doing something naturally, following a natural process? Silly marxists.....

Awesome but the only people who ever said anything about cultural appropriation had salon dreads. Which is cultural appropriation
Mine grew meditating on a mountaintop in a silent meditation tipi doing peyote ceremonies surrounded by thousand po7 d crystals we carried 10 miles into the woods.
theirs they paid for in a salon chair
which one really represents a culture which a mockery?
the next point is they call Rasta locks and natural dreads “shitlocks” and even lost the k in locks calling them locs
that is cultural appropriation which culture and race are not the same thing.

I read that the 2022 gathering will be in Colorado, I’d love to make my way over there this summer, I’ve never been to a gathering before. In these strange and isolating times, I feel like the collective energy would be so healing. I really need that.

3 week update. I separate my head of dreads 2 or 3 times a day 😅 They are really developing and I love this freeform journey. I love what I see in the mirror and it’s been a real journey of discovery.
