Tragic Exiles and the Ache for Belonging
Journal Article
Gabriel’s essay explores alienation as a loss not only of home, but of the embodied, interbeing relationship with all of Life. Drawing from indigenous wisdom, language theory, mystical teachings, and early Christian texts, it calls for a return—not to dogma, but to the felt sense of unity and sacred relatedness that predates religion.
