QUOTE:
“We need Coatlicue to slow us up so that the psyche can assimilate previous experiences and process the changes. If we don’t take the time, she’ll lay us low with an illness, forcing us to ‘rest.’" Gloria Anzaldua (Borderlands, p. 46)

“Conocimiento and Self-Care in the Time of Covid” - Martha Aguilar
