WE WALK TOGETHER
In Otomi, a lesser-known language spoken in central Mexico, the word “brother” is very intriguing.
Turns out, in this language the word “brother” is a verb.
So, not: “he is my brother”, but: “he brothers me”.
And, the verb is reflexive, as in: “we brother each other”.
And, it is actually a homophone of the verb “walk”.
Homophone = same pronunciation but different meanings.
Example: New and Knew
So when you say: “he is my brother” in Otomi, you are literally saying:
“We walk together.”
WE = not alone, many
WALK = move through life, action/interaction
TOGETHER = interconnected, symbiosis
If this is the kind of ‘masculine energy’ people are talking about the world needing more of at the moment, then that’s something I can work with.
