Let me begin like this, I'm a Black man, whose life experience is an existence post the 1400's with every single aspect, to date is due to that specific history of post 1400's.Yes every animated organism, including the human being has agency. Whether we characterize it as instinct-intuitive or human reasoning, it is action for itself. Now as a Black person the character of agency post 1400's, can also be described as, you're on a bucking, galloping horse. Agency can only exist and be understood in the context of work or labor to restrain the beast. So with that as framing of my existence experience. I state the post 1400's has cause as subject and object. With both conditions having and owning narratives, which naturally are subordinate to the relative principles expressing presence and emergence. Now a narrative fact of my post 1400 existence experience, is, I was convicted of armed robbery in Norfolk, Virginia in 1980. I was sentenced to 13 years in Virginia's prison system. A continuation of the narrative develops into constructs that are primarily designed to realize whatever the intentions of that 1400 cause were. As such "terms" come into existence, which not to increase the difficulty of the readers ability to stay with me, I'll say are law and its process. Law as it comes into existence is anticipatory, meaning, firstly it anticipates it will be broken or violated. Then it anticipates embodiment in two values,(1) Subject and (2) Object, meaning, it's application, which is implying process that will serve a function as such must and will have varying or different outcomes or results. With this said, it brings me to the title of this work: GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER IS HEARING US......So to get at the reason for the title. We have to realize it is within the frame of our intentions which are, reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia prison official accountable. Which is under the metaphorical assignment, the bucking galloping horse. Because according to the dictatorship of intent of the post 1400's cause, with the omnipresent subject and object, emerging in my 1980 imprisonment in Virginia's prison system and its process or Law. There are formulations as legal processes of my imprisonment that are inviolable obligations by the Commonwealth of Virginia, which then cannot be broken or violated. However, we know that its subjective, the Virginia prison official will violate it. Again, the bucking horse, resulting in my agency to restrain it from subjecting me to the violations. So, the emergence of resistance to the repression by the Virginia prison official, is mature narrative of my experience existing post 1400's. This narrative, despite my first-person depiction isn't only about me, but the tens of Billions whose life experience existence, whether behind the bars of Virginia prisons or across the face of this Earth who went to sleep one night, Pré 1400 and woke up in a post 1400.So now that we are in its continuum of dehumanization, the Agency narrative shifts to its restraint, again the bucking horse. So a few days ago Governor Abigail Spanberger told the People of Virginia that she was seeking "INPUT" on reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme. This is a narrative shift and we have to have the presence of mind to recognize it on its terms. Now there are those among us who will offer the customary critique, that a status quo is incapable of resolving its antagonisms other than on terms of its self-interest, to which I respond is idealistic. Wrangling the narrative just and right side of history on a status quo isn't activity IN itself, but FOR the selves of the People. In other words, it is firstly a reclamation of the People's archetypal Agency.
