There comes a moment when the noise of the market, the hum of the machine, and the endless demands of the system press so heavily against our days that we either collapse into it or begin to ask different questions. To see through the façade is one thing; to live within it without surrendering our truth is another.

The patterns repeat, dressed in new language and cloaked in the sheen of progress. What is sold as innovation or freedom is, more often than not, another inversion — another tightening of the grip that siphons time, energy, and life-force.

To look at UNDRIP and its unfolding in British Columbia is to confront that paradox — possibility entwined with peril, renewal haunted by control.
